Testimonials

Anna Fox, Residency 2016
"Completing the Residency program at the Sage Healing Collaborative was an invaluable experience for me in herbalism. I had the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from the herbalists at Farmacy Herbs, and refine my ability to work as an herbalist. I highly recommend the program for people interested in getting real life experience in the herbal fields of farming, products, and herb shop logistics!

Lynn Golan, Resident 2018

"Farmacy’s Herbal Residency program has been such an incredible opportunity for me to gain first hand experience with herb farming, day to day herb shop tasks and with working with the public. It has been both wonderfully humbling and wildly empowering to work with people and the plants to encourage health and wellness. Working within the diverse community of healers that weave through Farmacy is so nourishing and educational, especially the opportunity to sit with and learn from Mary Blue and her team at Farmacy Herbs.. I’m thankful for the opportunity to gain experience and begin my clinical career under Farmacy’s guidance."
