Our mission is to provide high quality products and to serve as a community resource for people taking charge of their own health and well being. We offer certified organic and sustainably wild crafted herbs and herbal products, over 100 teas and herbal blends, an array of supplies to make healthy body products, as well as essential oils, crystals, incense, snacks and super foods, and other sundries. We are committed to supporting local herbalists by selling their excellent tea blends, tinctures, and body care products. Our aim is to educate: we are available for questions, have a reference library, and offer classes and the services of local professionals on a regular basis, as well as through occasional special events. Our business is driven by a sense of responsibility – to our customers, to our whole selves, to our community, and to our beautiful planet; all of our decisions are made with this web of life kept close to heart and fully in mind. Acadia Herbals was founded in 2003 by Nathaniel Petley (aka Nature Nate), who sold Acadia Herbals to Jennifer Goodheart, when he began his studies to become a naturopathic doctor at University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Jennifer Goodheart has been thrilled to have the opportunity to combine her love and knowledge of plants and their medicine with her background in business and education as the shopkeeper of Acadia Herbals since July of 2009. After completing an herbal apprenticeship in 2002, Jennifer became a licensed English teacher, but the world of growing things summoned her back. |
