Meraki Farmacy is not only an regenerative herb farm and integrative herbalism practice:
Lu and The Plants are connecting into existing systems of care and building community.
We love growing with you.
Event calendar is updated as events get scheduled and I try and provide as much info here, including links to events pages and host information. You can follow on Facebook where most events are also listed. ​​
We love attending community events and always appreciate your support and participation through invitations, and sharing on social media. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are invaluable!
​​
Please intentionally engage in real life and online to raise awareness of services available for folks.
​​​
When outside, I am in a bright orange tent. You can't miss Lu and The Plants.
​​​
in person, Meraki Farmacy accepts exchange by cash, venmo, and considers thoughtful trades, of course!
