My husband Jake and I live on a simple 1.8 acre homestead we are actively creating in southeastern Pennsylvania. I’ve been growing plants and making herbal medicines since 2016 when my dad helped me build my first raised garden bed in the backyard. I am inspired by the magic of mother nature in all her glory. There is nothing more beautiful, grounding, and energizing to me than working outside with plants, and incorporating them into all areas of my life. I am thrilled to be able to share their magic and medicine with you.

On our homestead, we practice various small-scale biodynamic farming methods grounded in permaculture to ensure optimal soil preservation, nourishment, and longevity. We exclusively use non-GMO seeds and organic growing methods. I believe in tending to and stewarding the land to work in harmony with nature for the benefit of all.

I have been obsessed with plants and gardening since 2017 when I WWOOFed on a small regenerative farm in Colorado. I loved getting up before the sun, feeding the animals, and getting to work growing food and medicine for the community. Currently I work full time in healthcare, but my real passion is with plants. Tending to land, sowing seeds, cultivating, planting, pruning, weeding, harvesting, preparing, raking, watering, mowing, digging, shoveling, hauling, building, maintaining. It has all become my spiritual practice.

Over the years I have continued to become clear on values in many areas of my life. I deeply know the innate intelligence of the human body and believe in the healing power of the natural world. Humans have been in communion with plants for eons and I believe that is by divine design. I have worked with whole plants and herbs to support my body’s well being in numerous ways and am always humbled by and in awe of the sense of comfort and support they provide.

So, Bird’s Farm & Apothecary was born. My intention is to share the magic of my backyard homestead garden with you. I hope my offerings bring you as much joy as they do to me.
