Welcome to ElderMoon School of Herbs & Earth Medicine.
ElderMoon School of Herbs & Earth Medicine is dedicated to approaching and honoring nature first. Nature in the form of plants as medicine and nature in the form of our bodies. Our bodies are constantly speaking to us. It speaks in sensations and symptoms as part of a exquisite design to simply call our attention to our own tending. Learning this language helps us understand ourselves and our needs health. Honoring this a step further and learning the language of the plants as ancient medicine keepers and Earth as our original healer is our next natural step.
ElderMoon School focuses on regenerative practices that create synchronized and syncopated currents with the cycles of Nature. We work with a personally blended mix of organic, biodynamic, and permaculture principles that feed the plants and bees here within the landscapes around the apothecary that create vital food, medicine, and clean water.
We choose to work gentle and steady as a regenerative and restorative force while providing for our community.

COVID-19 Statement from ELDERMOON School
The well-being of ourselves and customers is everything. Our business is supporting wellness by offering high-quality herbal products that benefit our customers' health while nurturing the plants, the pollinators, and our planet in the process too. ALL are considered in everything we do here.
It gives us great joy to make herbal products in small handmade batches using the purest organic ingredients from plants we grow or get from other small herbal farms. We know how much you celebrate the vitality of our products and the growing offerings here at ElderMoon's Apothecary. In the past few weeks, you've shown us how much you've come to rely on us to contribute to your family's wellness in stressful times. We're committed to meeting your needs and doing whatever we can to have our products be of benefit to you and your loved ones.
At this time with the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, there is an important balance between our internal efforts to protect the health and safety of ourselves while we minimize disruptions to our customers. So there a few, and yes at times changing, things happening here at ELDERMOON:
Many of you have approached us with questions regarding recommendations as to which EMS products are most supportive in the context of a virus such as COVID-19. We are required to state this, "While we’re not able to make suggestions as to treatments for specific illnesses or diseases, due to FDA regulations,” we will make suggestions for system building remedies regularly in consult and via newsletters.
Joining our Monthly Herbal Councils (link here) will give you 6hrs of pandemic herbal recommendation coverage plus a 3+ year growing library of herbal infused medicine making, land stewarding, and apothecary tending skills.
We have your back and ask that you'll consider practicing good self-care with us and spending quality time with your families while social distancing in stores, wearing a mask anytime you leave your home, and honor staying quarantined at home as the single most important action to slow and stop the spread of the microbial world at this time. This is a "we are together on this" statement and is a sequestering retreat for restoration versus the view of punishment. It is our single most powerful action of solid boundaries.
Please continue to check-in for any developing updates regarding our operations during COVID-19. Walking with you in solidarity. Stay Safe & Well - The ELDERMOON Team

At this time with the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, there is an important balance between our internal efforts to protect the health and safety of ourselves while we minimize disruptions to our customers. So there a few, and yes at times changing, things happening here at ELDERMOON:
- LINK HERE: CDC Guidelines - to ensure that our team is on-call and available to respond with quickly shifting concerns and risks we are monitoring the Health Department and CDC recommendations daily for disinfection and isolation practices, and at times taking this a step further for your safety.
- Shipments are packaged and shipped on our order filling days 2 days/week. We ask the receiver to hold for one day once received unless it's imperative that you have the remedies immediately. If this is the case, open the box and wash hands. Retrieve remedies and wipe down bottles. Wash hands again. Currently it's known that this virus lives outside the body 24 hrs on cardboard, 3 days on plastic and metal, and it's easily wipe away with soap and water and 65% Rubbing alcohol. Stay diligent folks.
- 2 Days/Week Order Processing: Being an OR Nurse comfortable and well-trained with how the microbial world moves, I'm restricting remedy and whole order preparations to two days per week. I make all remedies and I hand-wash before and after, plus wear gloves and a mask during this time just to be safe. The apothecary is otherwise behind closed doors.
- In keeping up with increased demand, staff support is increased as needed. This means Jay, my partner and 25 year cohort in apothecary managing is also well-trained in sterile and clean technique and is helping with orders to expedite them faster for you. We love working together and this is our second herbal business together!
- We have restricted visitor pickup to curbside only for locals who need remedies quickly or desire to save on shipping. Coming into our consulting space requires a mask and handwashing.
- We've LOWERED our 'Shipping and Handling Fees' for our continental US customers to share the burden of postal delivery so we can connect with getting the healing remedies you need to you. Seems fair.
- All herbal classes are on-line only until further notice. Yes, we can cover a lot of terrain this way so that when we're lifted from such times, your imprinted brain is ready for in-person classes.
