The Herbary at
Running Brook Farms

Woman-owned medicinal herb farm and apothecary, fostering community through plant medicine and wellness events.

ELDR ~ Old Norse for fire ~ pays homage to both our ancestors & the elder tree who is rich in medicine and steeped in folklore. Anchored on a granite rock garden, our wood fired Nordic sauna overlooks the pond and medicinal herb farm, inviting you into a deeply grounding experience shaped by fire, water, and earth.

Gather with friends (and maybe make new ones) by dropping into a community sauna, join one of our ritual events, book for private sessions, or reach out to curate your very own exclusive mini-retreat!

About The Herbary

All of our certified organic herbs & craft hemp are grown with love under the sun on our farm in Deep River, CT. We are passionate about bringing you pure & potent medicinals taking great care at every step the process: from cultivating rich soil, planting the seeds, harvesting by hand, to drying, sifting and storing the dried botanicals.

We believe in the power of plant medicine. Every product is made in house by our small team & steeped with our loving intentions. Herbs, teas and craft products are available for sale at our garden center, Running Brook Farms, in Killingworth.

My passion is to honor the land through organic regenerative growing practices and to honor the plants through crafting wholesome and pure medicinals.
— Becky Goetsch, founder
