We're so lucky to have Budgie's Bakeshop in our Candler community. They really stepped up during hurricane Helene and continue to support those in need, with a regularly stocked "free fridge", pantry, firewood, menstrual supplies and more.
They also have a great selection of delicious handmade baked goods, full coffee menu, offer custom cakes, and have vegan and gluten-free options. Come support their continued effort to be a pillar of strong community.

One of the last days to snag 20% off these two products before we step into 2026! Re-Leaf oil is also 20% OFF.
1. Ginger elixir is fresh, sustainably sourced ginger in alcohol, water and local honey for mocktails, cocktails and digestive support.
2. Re-leaf Oil is the herbal formula of fire and ice. Local Carolina Reapers bring the heat and menthol crystals deliver a cool effect to areas need some extra support after a long day. NOTE: It's important to wash hands after use due to the pepper content!
3. Ginger Essential Oil is locally distilled by Blue Ridge Aromatics from a super sustainable practice of Peruvian Organic fresh ginger. Intended for external use only, this 5 ml bottle only takes a few drops for your fragrant pleasure.

Winter Blessings! A beautiful story of the giving tree: there were many trees down in our area after the storm of 2024, and one particular pine fell and died slowly, yet still gave life. It showed us once again how generous the trees and plants can be. In early spring, there were small young pine cones forming that were so resinous and aromatic, and we gratefully collected them. We used some of the still-green needles for a tangy infusion that we let steep for 24 hours after chopping the needles. A few weeks later, the young green cones had grown to double their size, and we collected more for a special infused oil for staff. Without any additional aromatics added, this simple young pine cone in organic olive oil, with one deep whiff, transports us right into the heart of a pine forest. The resin is more intense than the resin you find in the needles, but making an infused oil from chopped needles is also aromatic and the way we prepare the fresh pine for our Breast Massage Oil. The pine has now died, we used its needles to light a fire and breathed a little of its sweet, woody notes one last time. We're hopeful for the return of plant life in spring, knowing even our generous dead pine will be giving life again as a lovely host for mushrooms, beneficial insects, and forest fauna.

We have a lot to celebrate this year! There was a little bit of playing catch-up after Hurricane Helene in September 2024. We had to ask a few more farms and foragers to help us get the fresh herbs we needed to complete our 2025 harvest season. As always, the plants do not disappoint and they really showed up in full bloom. Our crew had a fun summer day trip on the lake south of Asheville for an on-water harvest of mimosa flowers (Albizia julibrissin). Known as Persian silk tree, this non-native needs an aggressive harvest of as many flowers as possible to help curb the spread of this tree to keep room at the wood and lakes edge for native plants and trees. Our project near Red Moon at The Ruby Ranch NC was a successful plot of the sun-loving calendula, milky oat tops, skullcap, lemon balm and motherwort flowering tops. We thank those of you who could come out and do a little you-pick to help pay for a hard-earned end-of-harvest celebratory meal for our crew in Asheville. We were so happy to see our Arnica chamissonis reseed itself well in the Red Moon Herbs garden. Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) flowered late summer to early fall for a beautiful harvest and now we are onto root harvests we forage or buy from local farms like our burdock and dandelion. It feels good to hand chop in small batch together as the Red Moon family, thank you for supporting us and the Appalachian farmers and foragers who love what they do! Happiest 2026 to you and yours.

Red Moon Herbs handcrafts potent herbal products from fresh, local plants that are consciously wildcrafted or organically cultivated here in Appalachia. To ensure optimum potency, our herbs are lovingly harvested by hand in small batches from plants at the peak of their strength by following the cycles of moon, season, and weather.
Started in 1994 by Corinna Wood and Jessica Godino, Red Moon Herbs has seen many changes over the past 20 years, including incredible growth, two apothecaries, and, most recently, stringent compliance with FDA regulations regarding herbal medicines. In 2012, the directorship was passed to from Corinna Wood to Jeannie Dunn. Throughout these changes, the focus and mission of the business has remained strong and true: to create safe and effective herbal products for the whole family from local, abundant plants.
As a professional herbalist and North Carolina native, Jeannie has been wildcrafting and making herbal extracts, oils, and salves for over a decade. She studied formally at both the NC School of Natural Healing and One World Healing Arts, but her herbal roots go much further back to the back-to-basics lifestyle infused in her as a child. Jeannie picked strawberries, canned vegetables, and pulled weeds from row crops with her parents and three siblings on their multi-generational family farm in Efland, NC. Today, knowing the powerful healing properties of those 'weeds' she used to pull, Jeannie happily uses them in her fermentations, herbal extracts, and fun, medicinal elixirs.
New Directions, Ancient Wisdom
As Jeannie has taken the directorship of Red Moon Herbs – overseeing both the art and the science of this earth-based, Wise Woman herbal business and apothecary – Corinna has stayed involved for support. The apothecary and production studio has moved from Black Mountain to a new location in Weaverville, yet many of the plants are still wildcrafted from their original locations at Earthaven Eco-Village, and the sustainable, earth-centric practices continue to expand.
Under Jeannie’s direction, Red Moon Herbs is expanding to serve more locations locally and regionally, and new faces have joined the family. Click here to learn more about our current staff.
The herbal family at Red Moon is dedicated to the mission of creating potent, high-quality, and local herbal products made the Wise Woman Way, and enthusiastically maintain the company’s 20-year integrity. We look forward to serving all of our current and new customers with the best in planet-friendly plant medicine for decades to come.
