Welcome to Blessed Maine Herb Farm and School of Ancestral Pathways—a place of deep listening, sacred work, and devotion to the healing green world.
For well over four decades, we’ve grown and gathered herbs on this land, guided by the wisdom of our ancestors, the natural regenerative cycles of the Earth, and the call to serve. Every root, leaf, flower and tree here is tended with deep reverence and love and the herbal products made with them are prepared in small, intentional batches to honor the spirit of the plant.
Our farm is a sanctuary - a place where the healing arts are alive and rooted in the old ways. Through our School of Ancestral Pathways, we’ve had the honor of teaching thousands of students to walk the healer’s path: to know the land, to trust their intuition, and to reclaim the knowledge that lives in their bones.
This is soul work. This is lineage work. And it is my life’s calling.
I welcome you to join us - in the gardens, in the classroom, and in the living tradition of plant remedies.

Saint Hildegard Day
You're invited to join us at the farm for our annual harvest season celebration in mid-September to honor the rebel Saint Hildegard von Bingen - 12th century herbalist, healer, poet, musician, artist and prophetess who coined the term viriditas to describe the animating life force she perceived within all things.
