Little Lovely Local
Since a girl, I have had a fascination with wild edible plants and, after my second child was born, my interests expanded to include medicinal herbs. I took a basic Herbalist course in 2012 and began applying that knowledge within my own family. More recently, I have been expanding my herbal education and someday hope to be a practicing herbalist.
In 2018, I started Eve's Pharmacy as a desperate grab for some stability after losing my job of stay-at-home mother and wife. I lost custody of my five beautiful children who I homebirthed, homeschooled, and still hold dear to my heart. As an outlet for my creative powers, having a business pales in comparison to my previous job, but has given me countless opportunities to meet new people and learn new things while continuing to grow as a dynamic human being. Not only am I passionate about Nature and the bounty she provides, but I am also deeply moved by the Women who so identify with her life-giving virtues, the ones who are demonized and bloom regardless of modern pressures to suffocate them.
My nine herbal teas are all caffeine-free and hand blended in small batches using locally grown and wildcrafted herbs. Each blend varies from batch to batch depending on the year's herb availability. My culinary herbs are grown without the use of chemicals and I do not use plastic in my packaging. The herbs that I sell can be used medicinally or enjoyed casually.
In my spare time, I find joy in making goat milk skincare products and milking goats for my good friend, Deb. You can find her wonderful natural skincare products at www.HarvestHillSkincare.com.
I do small scale farm sitting for others as well. If you have a small family farm in Wayne County, OH or know someone who does and could use a bit of time off or an extra hand, send me a message.
My most recent endeavor has been learning about Astrology. I have stumbled into a vast and overwhelming world! It is amazing to me that the lights in the Heavens, placed there by our Creator, are of such significance in our lives, and we barely acknowledge them. The more I study the planets and heavenly bodies, the more I realize how little I know. It is truly a humbling thing to look up!
You can find me at the Wooster Farmers' Market from mid-May to mid-October or other pop-up markets in the area.

Vision
I met a man, he was 33.
When we shook hands
he bore a hole through me.
So, I got up some Courage
and I asked what he saw,
then he picked me apart
with a Different Law.
He said, "Your head is to the North
and your feet are to the South."
"In between these is a Sword
called your mouth."
"Your House has two Windows
and it stands on a Rock
and though you know it or not
you are part of a Flock."
Then, he looked into my Windows,
asked could he enter, please?
And the words he said next
to me were just these:
"Inside you is a Garden
where two Trees grow."
"It doesn't ever rain there
and it doesn't ever snow."
"One has Knowledge
and can figure things out."
"The other one knows
what Life is all about."
"The Tree in the center
is the Tree in your head
and the One to the east
has four Rivers of Red."
"The Roots of the Trees
go down into your gut
and in the Garden is a Gate
that is all locked up."
I asked him where the Key was
and he told me that he knew.
If I'd just be patient,
he'd tell me that, too.
"Your Rivers are dirty
for the Gate is still closed."
But, it wasn't much a problem
the traveler supposed.
"Just give up the things
that you think you need the most."
Then he turned away
and was gone like a ghost.
I walked down the Road,
his words were heavy on my Soul,
as I soon figured out
I'd have to Let Go . . .
