About East Fork Apothecary

Hello Everyone,

I'll keep this short and sweet. ;) Here at EFA I do my best to supply you with high quality, hand-crafted, wildcrafted medicinal tinctures using 100 proof Vodka or 80 proof Brandy, herbal ointments,  herb infused honeys, herb infused vinegars, toothpowders and who knows what next. :)

Let me introduce myself, my name is Susan Florence and I have been a natural health professional for over 30 years. I live and harvest on our beautiful family farm in Central Wisconsin, which now appears to be turning into a miniature herb farm. This makes me immensely happy!  

I am a wildcrafter first and foremost and use fresh plant material in my products. Because my products are made from fresh, wildcrafted plant materials I have an eye towards the health and prosperity of the plant stands I harvest, this means the availability of products may vary depending on the health of my stands and environmental states (i.e. drought year, etc.). 

Recently, I have had customer requests for plants that I have not been able to either find wildcrafting, simply do not grow in my area or are endangered and only farmed herb material should be used (i.e., Echinacea, Goldenseal, etc.). To meet this need, I have started a dried plant tincture section to meet customer needs. I am still first and foremost a wildcrafting herbalist, but I want the opportunity to offer folks what they feel is essential for their continued health. 

If you'd like to get to know me a little better you can view my harvesting videos available on Facebook at your leisure, they will give you an idea of what I am up too here. ;) Thank you for taking the time to read about myself and my business and if you want to know more about either, don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my contact page. 

Oh, most folks like to put a face to a name (or business in this case), so check out the photo gallery, I'm there. I am 20 years older and a lot grayer now days. ;) I don't get in front of a camera to much, but I will eventually get a more current photo up, fingers crossed.  So much for short and sweet, right!

Please note: I am working hard to keep the price of my product reasonable and reserve the right to change product containers without changing the picture of the product on my sites. This allows me to get the safest, yet most reasonably priced containers for your medicines. I also reuse/recycle old packing materials whenever possible, so if this is something you would prefer I not do on your order, just leave me a note. Thank you for your understanding.
