No matter what time of year you sign up, you'll be able to look forward to a yearlong engagement with healing herbs grown with joy.

OUR FARM
Unlike most companies selling herbal products, we grow our ingredients ourselves, which means when you enjoy our products, you're enjoying the unique herbal offerings of our farm in central Vermont.
Our small herb farm & apothecary farm is located in Chelsea, Vermont, nestled high in the hills that overlook the village. We specialize in Vermont-grown tisanes (herbal teas), culinary herbs, herbal remedies, and herbal body care products. Our herbs and remedies are available through pick-up at our farm, at local farmers markets, stores, online, and through our Community Supported Apothecary subscriptions. Read more about us. |
OUR SHOP
All of our products are handcrafted in small batches in our farmhouse apothecary. The majority of our herbal ingredients are sourced directly from our farm.
Take a peek at our online apothecary shop for the fullest selection of teas, culinaries, bulk herbs, and handcrafted herbal remedies & body care products. We also have a host of great gift ideas and unique accessories. We also offer Community Supported Apothecary subscriptions! Our herbs are harvested by hand and dried right on our farm. We dry herbs in traditional hanging bunches, as well as in our farm-made herb dryer, "The Herbster," taking the utmost care to preserve the essential constituents that give each herb its flavor and potency. |
OUR COMMUNITY
At Free Verse Farm, we consider the health & vitality of our community to be issues of great importance.
