At Botanica Fina Therapeutics, we think good food and quality ingredients should be available to everyone at prices that don’t cost an arm and a leg. We started operating in San Francisco in 2000. Since then, we’ve seen plenty of changes in the way people approach food - and we couldn’t be more excited. Come and check us out in person and discover something delicious today.

OPEN STUDIOS at the Livestock Exchange Building
Friday, November 14: 5-9pm

Dearest Botanica Fanicas,
I regret to inform you I will not be at Antioch Urban Growers today 🥀

All pre-order pickups have been contacted. If you planned to place an order today or wanted to grab a half-gallon of Royal Parade or Elderberry Lemonade, send me a message to coordinate your free Northland delivery 🚚

I apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you again very soon! 💕

It's National Cat Day and therefore my duty and privilege to celebrate Lola, aka Miss Muffin aka Lolaroo, for her invaluable contributions to the work we do in the garden and the crafting room/office.

Lola takes her work seriously and has been an exemplary supervisor of our plant maintenance and processing divisions. She is consistent and reliable, with a perfect attendance record in the field while somehow also finding the time to manage her own local made-to-order biscuit factory.

She's a gentlecat of many hats and I'm convinced there's nothing she can't do (except ever be allowed on a table or countertop) 💝

It'll be a glorious day for a Golden Sunrise granita and goodies galore 🌿🌞🍨

Fasciation is always fascinating to me 💕

Fasciation is a rare distortion of expression caused by a disruption of the plant's normal growth pattern. It's typically a harmless mutation but can be caused by disease, poison, or other factors 🦠

It presents as a second bloom on the same stem (or even triple or more, as seen with my bee balm example on the left) 🐝

They may be mutants, but they're my mutants and I love them.

Tomorrow 7/5 🌞 I'm brewing up a whole slew of refreshments and eclectica for you to enjoy 💐 Don't forget to bring your empty jars to claim your deposit🫙

Mulberry, mycelium, and monarda, oh my!

Heads up Botanica fans and fam:

I will not be at the Summer Faire at Antioch Urban Growers this Saturday. I'm still processing last week's harvest and am finishing up some new and exciting blends that I am so excited to share with you!

In the meantime, here's a peek at what a typical "day off" from Daily Culture Kombucha looks like for me. I start early to beat the heat- first in my own garden then I make my rounds to the various yards, gardens, and foraging spots granted to me over the years. To avoid overwhelm and over harvesting, I only take what I know I will use and save the rest for next time.

Now it's time to get back home to unload and start drying!
