Hannah runs poppysol, LLC - a one acre permaculture inspired herb and flower farm and apothecary in Chatham County, NC. She has been on the land since September 2017. Hannah comes from generations of nature lovers and healers. She is a clinical herbalist and farmer with a masters in Social Work who is passionate about encouraging people to be agents in their own healing. Her herbal training began in Alamance County with folk herbalist Suki Roth, continued with David Winston’s clinical herbalist two year program, and continues today through ongoing engagement with the plants and other continuing education opportunities. Her work is firmly grounded in connecting people with plants, knowing that each person has unique needs and healing is non-linear. Hannah is grateful to offer a range of tincture formulas, tea blends, bath salts and salves through her website and also offers a Flower CSA seasonally that includes the farm’s herbal bounty. She also does an annual plant sale in the spring so that “herb curious” folks and plant lovers can grow the herbal medicine they need right in their own spaces. When she’s not with the plants she’s loving up on farm dog Mimi, trying to find a body of water to be in or a new trail to explore, and definitely cooking and eating with close friends and family!
