“Rooted in Herbs, Guided by Spirit, Made with Purpose”
Founded by Detroit native Joy Rucker, we are a continuation of the healing legacy of our ancestor, Benjamin “Black Herman” Rucker, a master herbalist, magician and spiritual teacher of the early 20th century.
Benjamin Rucker traveled the country sharing ancient remedies and wellness practices long before it was a trend, he used medicine shows and community gatherings to educate and heal, connecting people to traditions that have been passed down through generation.
Today, we carry that same spirit. Like Benjamin Rucker, we travel directly to you with our mobile herbal apothecary. Find us at local markets, parks and events across Detroit, offering handcrafted roots, herbs, and botanicals made with purpose.

Herbal Infused
Honey
Peppermint Infused Honey — the bold, brilliant twist your pantry’s been waiting for.
Imagine raw, small-batch honey — thick, golden, and naturally floral — married with vibrant peppermint oil and whole-leaf extracts to create a flavor that’s simultaneously cooling, bright, and deeply satisfying. It’s not just a sweetener; it’s a culinary accelerator that transforms everyday dishes into unforgettable moments.
Why Peppermint Infused Honey?
Distinctive Flavor Profile: The clean, minty snap of peppermint lifts the honey’s natural sweetness without overpowering it. Use a spoonful to refresh hot tea, drizzle it over fruit or yogurt, or add it to dark chocolate desserts for a sophisticated contrast.
Versatile Ingredient: Works in beverages (iced teas, cocktails, hot toddies), baking (glazes, fillings, frostings), breakfast (oatmeal, pancakes, waffles), and savory applications (glazes for pork or lamb, spicy-mint marinades, and vinaigrettes).
Functional Benefits: Combines honey’s soothing, antimicrobial properties with peppermint’s cooling effect and digestive support — perfect for calming a sore throat, easing indigestion, or refreshing breath.
Small-Batch, High-Quality Craftsmanship: Hand-harvested honey infused with carefully sourced peppermint oil and leaf ensuring consistent aroma and potency without artificial flavors or unnecessary additives.
Elegant Presentation: Pours beautifully, ships safely, and looks striking on a gift table. Ideal for gift-giving, chef’s tables, and specialty food retailers.
