An annual membership to plant magic. Rekindle your connection with the land and journey through the seasons with two Appalachian herb farms.

A collaboration between two herb-loving farmers, Joana (Sylvatica Forest Farm) and Sarah (Among the Oaks Herb Farm) grow and wildcraft herbs and transform them into the staples of your apothecary and kitchen. Each seasonal box offers 4 items, steeped in the diversity, lore and beauty of Appalachian Kentucky. We believe Food is Medicine, and you’ll see that reflected in our offerings. Our hope is that you will come to experience rich connections with the plant world by honoring the seasons and working with herbs in your daily life.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

It is a model commonly used by vegetable farms—the customer buys a year’s share of products at the beginning of the season and receives regular boxes of the harvest throughout the year. It’s a great way to support farmers up front while getting a bulk discount on their harvests!
