I grew up on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
In 1998 I joined the United States Air Force. I traveled the world serving our Nation as a Carpenter and Welder. This experience gave me the great opportunity to learn about different cultures and see how each of them live and how to make some of the most amazing food I have ever eaten. After serving for 12 years I decided it was time to come home.

Upon returning to the Oregon Coast I met my wonderful husband Patrick and bought a farm. This wholesome life was the exact way I wanted to raise my son John. I immediately found that I had a passion for growing food, harvesting, preserving and making sure nothing went to waste. The items we grew on the farm are some of the ingredients used to make our products. The farm was an amazing producer, we had more than we could ever use. So an Apothecary was born.

Taking our Fire cider, Garlic Honey, Fermented Garlic (black garlic), smoked salts and our Vinegars produced at the farm to the Farmers market, gave me an opportunity to show everyone the things I learned while living overseas. One of our Flagship Products is Black garlic; a well used ingredient in Korean cuisine and something I was very familiar with, but knew it was rare in the United States let alone in small rural Oregon.
