Message from Our Founder, Shannon O'Brien

Hi friends,

When I launched Apothecary At Home in March 2020, I never imagined how much it would grow, or how many lives it would touch. What began as a simple herbal subscription box became a way to make plant-medicine education accessible and trustworthy at a time when the world was craving connection and self-care.

Together we’ve explored the healing power of herbs, shared kitchen tables and stories, and learned how to put medicine back into our own hands. Your notes and photos over the years have shown me how these boxes have sparked new skills, supported wellness, and built friendships rooted in our shared love of herbalism.

After more than 5 years, I’m ready to step back. I would love to see Apothecary At Home continue, but only if we find the right new owner. If no buyer emerges, our final shipment will go out in January 2027 and the business will close.


Key Updates:

Subscription changes: As of December 31, 2025, we will no longer sell 12-month subscriptions.

Price adjustment: Beginning October 1, 2025, monthly boxes will increase from $41.99 to $44.99 to reflect inflation and new supply-chain tariffs.

Shop inventory: All items currently in the online shop are limited to existing stock, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Gift cards & Plant Points: Please redeem any gift cards or Plant Points by December 31, 2026. After that date, any remaining balances will be forfeited.


Interested in Taking the Reins?

If you or someone you know would like to acquire the business or its assets, please email us for details: hello@apothecaryathome.co

On a personal note, while I transition out of day-to-day operations, I’m opening The Common Thread, a fiber-arts café in St. Petersburg, Florida. To me, fiber arts and herbalism share the same spirit: self-reliance, making things with our own hands, and finding wellness through creativity and slow living.

At the café we’ll gather to knit, crochet, and create, while serving plenty of soothing herbal teas: a nod to the roots we’ve cultivated together here. If you’d like to follow along, find us at:
