The Foundations of Practice
at Meraki Farmacy
Working with Plants grown here from hand sown seed ensures levels of continuity and quality that are so important to the MF way.
Lu and The Plants grow together over the seasons and culminate with a freshness, seasonality, potency and relationship centering that is immediately experienced by you, the human communities that keep the gardens growing.
All other materials are carefully chosen for the same continuity of care, for you and yours and all the critters that also keep the gardens growing. From seed to skin, every step of harvest, formulating, packaging and dispensing is rooted in protection, connection, respect, responsibility. All offerings are biodegradable, dispensed in glass or compostable containers and free of all those other things that erode the health of our soils, waters, families, ecosystems.
Lucia Hawkins is proud to be a leader in sustainable herbal stewardship, centering respectful relationships and community care since 2015. Meraki Farmacy is proud to be a part of the Conservation Stewardship Project, responding in real time to climate collapse, restoring native species, preventing soil erosion, improving soil quality, capturing carbon, fixing nitrogen, and showing what is possible through stewardship — the care of place and space regardless of concepts of land ownership.
