ApotheBox has been offering herbal learning kits since 2016 to help people explore herbalism and their relationship with plants.  As the need grew, we discovered that many plants that could grow in our climate were being sourced from so far away.  So the idea for a farm grew, quite literally.  We paused the offerings and began expanding our backyard herb garden.

 

Currently we have several acres dedicated to production of medicinal herbs and basket willow with hopes to keep expanding.  We never use herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers- keeping nature in her natural state. Hand weeding, mulching, directed irrigation, and mother nature herself are employed to manage the health of the land we steward.  Our basket willows provide not only weaving material, but also a place for insect predators like chickadees, finches, and woodpeckers to hunt and forage.  Encouraging these native birds has a beneficial impact on the rest of the farm.
