Unlock the fascinating world of herbalism!

Instead of a conventional CSA where you simply pick up your farm share of raw goodies to prepare on your own at home our CSA doubles as a medicine making instructional class where you don’t have to take home raw fresh or dried herbs & watch them go to waste as you wonder what to do with them. Traditionally, herbal medicine making was always done collectively as a community; from caring for seeds, to growth, harvest & preparation. This is an opportunity to learn about the wild gifts which we can cultivate in abundance right here in Baltimore City.

Lead by clinical herbalist Alyssa Dennis this urban agricultural herbal CSA was created to foster & reclaim a deep connection with our surrounding ecosystem while building avenues toward optimal health & vitality.
