Founded in 2022 and opened doors in August 2023, Bloodroot Herb Shop set out on a mission to be a physical community space with a focus on bioregional herbalism. We host regular mutual-aid/donation based community events where we craft herbal preparations to be distributed to the houseless and underserved community members in our area. Because healthcare insurance often does not often cover our type of services, we provide sliding scale clinical herbal consultations and house-made products for better accessibility. We also teach classes on all things herbalism that empowers our participants on how to work with the plants growing locally around them and foster a resilient land based relationship. We make and sell our own tea blends, salves and other herbal products, which are crafted with organic ingredients and sourced by partnering with small American grown organic herb farms.

Our desire —and we know we’re not alone in this— is to have a communal space that generates reciprocity for bettering relationships with our neighbors as well as the more-than-human populations that reside all around us. We want to alchemize the struggles of our current society into something hopeful and thriving, together. Some of the ways we are strategizing this is by offering accessible education, sliding scale health consultations, quality herbal products, and creating a peaceful, safe, and vital space to connect and experience joy. We want others to feel welcomed to share their own gifts and skill sets with us, too. Our ultimate goal for this space is to cultivate real community resilience together.
