Philly Herb Hub

The Philly Herb Hub is a free community apothecary, currently available to Black folks in Philly. We provide free herbs and free workshops through a mutual aid network with local growers, medicine makers, and herb enthusiasts.
Further in the future, we'd love to open a free clinic.

We only offer pick up and delivery in Philadelphia (details about certain zip codes, below).

NOTE: Depending on availability of inventory, the website may not give the option to pick up where you'd like. If you receive an error message:

1. try splitting larger orders into several, smaller orders. Some items may even need to be ordered one by one.

2. select "Ship (local delivery)" at check out. Then just leave us a message in check-out notes; we'll be sure to place it at the pick up location of your choice.

Orders not claimed within one month will be offered back to the community 💛

We believe the long term sustainability of the project rests on relationships, not only with the land and the plants, but also between growers and people accessing the medicine. 

We work in ways that are sustainable for us--moving slowly, adjusting, listening, responding. 

*This project is organized by Desiree Thompson and Kelly McCarthy, herb workers in Philadelphia, and supported by a community of folks who love herbs.
