What You Learn in Each Level

Start at Level 1 and move at your own pace. Each level builds on the one before. By the time you finish Level 3 your shelves are stocked and you have product on a real table.

Level 1 · Beginner

🪷 Home Herbalist

Your foundation. Plant identification, working with herbs you can find or grow, and the stories that come with each one. You will make salves, oils, and herbal preparations, build your home apothecary and your first journal, and learn how to use herbs confidently for yourself and your family.

Virtual: $147 In-Person: $280 · $75/class
Level 2 · Intermediate

🌿 Apothecary

Three sessions that take you deeper into medicine making. Salves with a master batch oil, syrups and honeys, and a Saturday wildcrafting experience with a field instructor. Plant walks in a Texas wild place, ethical harvest, and a hands-on oil infusion that doubles as your graduation. By the end of Level 2 your apothecary shelves are stocked and you have worked the land with your own hands.

Virtual: $167 In-Person: $300 · $80/class
Level 3 · Advanced · In-Person Only

🔥 Medicine Maker

The full medicine maker journey. Five sessions covering fire cider, the Fire Cider lawsuit and the history that protects herbalists' right to make and sell, business and product fundamentals, a build day where you make products for both your Home Apothecary Pathway and your Business Pathway, a live vending day at a local farmers market, and your Apothecary Council induction. Includes one-on-one time with me throughout. You walk out a Medicine Maker with product on a real table.

2027 Cohort FAQ

What is the 2026 lock-in offer?

Through July 15, 2026 we are honoring 2026 prices on the in-person path for the first twelve students who pay in full: Level 1 $280, Level 2 $300, Level 3 $350. After July 15 the rates move to the 2027 schedule (L1 $365, L2 $475, L3 $595). The $80 priority deposit holds your seat but does not lock the price on its own. You lock the rate by paying the level in full (or the whole cohort in full at $930) by July 15.

Do I have to take all three levels?

Yes for sequence, no for commitment. The path is sequential: Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3, with no skipping. But you do not have to enroll in all of them at once. You can lock in Level 1 now and decide on Level 2 and Level 3 later. Just know that after July 15 the price for the levels you have not paid for moves up.

What is the $80 priority deposit?

It is a one-time, non-refundable deposit that holds your seat in the 2027 cohort. It applies toward your in-person tuition. One deposit covers your full seat, no matter how many in-person classes you end up taking. You only need to pay the deposit if any part of your path is in-person. Virtual-only students can skip it.

What is the difference between virtual and in-person?

Virtual classes are self-paced. You watch the lessons, do the work in your own kitchen, and submit your assignments on your own time. In-person classes meet at our Houston classroom, with hands-on building, group work, and field experiences. Level 3 is in-person only because the medicine making, the live market vending day, and the Apothecary Council induction cannot be done through a screen.

Are current students charged again?

No. If you have already completed a level with us, you do not need to re-enroll in it. The 2027 cohort is the next round for students moving up to their next level, plus new students entering at Level 1.

How many seats are in the cohort?

Twelve seats per in-person level for the 2026-priced lock-in window. When those fill, the free waitlist becomes the path to the next opening. Virtual classes are not seat-limited.

Can I pay for one level at a time?

Yes. Pay each level when you are ready to start it. The bundle prices only apply if you pay for everything up front.

What if I am not in Houston?

Virtual options for Levels 1 and 2 work from anywhere. For Level 3 you would need to travel to Houston, since that level is in-person only.

When do classes actually start?

Level 1 In-Person begins Tuesday, April 6, 2027. Level 3 In-Person begins Tuesday, June 1, 2027. Level 2 In-Person dates are announced once Level 1 closes. Virtual levels are self-paced and start whenever you do.
