About Me


Lancaster Farmacy

Casey and Eli founded Lancaster Farmacy in the winter of 2009 after both returning to our roots in Lancaster County from a background of grassroots activism, community organizing, cooperative models, farming, herbalism and rewilding. In the growing food movement we see the need for reclaiming our health and making it accessible at the local level. Having experienced the power of herbs in healing our own heath issues, we are inspired to nourish our community and the earth growing natural medicine. We offer Community Supported Medicine Shares, of seasonal fresh and dried herbs plus products like tinctures, tonics and salves. We also grow specialty crops like open pollinated and heirloom fruits and vegetables that get distributed through Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, a non-profit farmers coop based in Leola. We couldn't be doing it without them, thanks to all the farmers and staff at LFFC! http://www.lancasterfarmfreshcooperative.com/
 
 
foraging in spring




Natures treasures found beneath a dying elm tree.

It's always sad to be losing these amazing trees to the Dutch Elm Disease but out of death comes life....
 
 
Ramps (wild leeks), Poke shoots, Nettles, and Morels as our ingredients for an amazing wild lasagna!
