Member Profile:
Avena Botanicals, Midcoast Maine's largest herbal apothecary for over 22 years, is known for making high quality, handcrafted herbal remedies and skincare products. We use certified organic and wildcrafted herbs to make our herbal extracts, compounds, infused oils, creams, salves, herbal teas, and bodycare products. We hand-harvest the majority of our herbs from our own beautiful herb garden which is certified organic by MOFGA. Our gardens flourish as a result of using biodynamic preparations and permaculture techniques. We are committed to working in ways which nourish ourselves, our community and our planet. We carry on an herbal tradition kept alive by women for many centuries. Please visit us!



Our herbal apothecary is open to the public year-round Monday - Thursday 9am-5pm; and Friday 9am-1pm. Our beautiful medicinal herb gardens are open May through October; Monday - Thursday 9am-5pm; and Friday 9am-1pm.
