In the weeds is a play on my time as a chef in busy restaurants, during peak service times when you felt like you were drowning in orders you would verbalise you were ‘in the weeds’. Now in the weeds takes on a completely different meaning for me.

We now distribute hand forged copper alembic stills though our sister site Alembic Alchemy direct from Portugal. The factory has been making copper stills since 1835 so they know what they are doing. They are stunning hand crafted and work a treat. I make all my essential oils with them.

Really friendly owner and very generous in sharing her vast natural health knowledge. I love the shop and all the great natural health products. I wish there was a store near me. I just tried the shampoo bar and my hair loved it and me scalp feels very refreshed.
Hi there. I received the gift box for my birthday and just tried the ceremonial cacao elixir. This was hands down amazing! It’s so earthy, rich and feels so magical. My fiance and I agree this is our new favourite drink on cold days such as today. Just wanted to say thank you for making such a delicious product & we will definitely be restocking it once we run out.
I just loved Naomi’s workshop, I learnt so much about herbs and feel like I have enough knowledge to be able to put into practice everything I learnt at home and can’t wait to get my own apothecary up and running. Oh, and my herb seedlings have taken off so I can harvest from my garden. Thank you!
