Franny’s Farm Rises Anew: Announcing Our Botanical Division

Hey Asheville friends,

If you’re reading this, you know what it means to rise after the storm. After Hurricane Helene swept through our mountains, we all felt the weight of rebuilding. But here in Leicester, surrounded by these hills I love so much, I’ve learned something: when the roots are strong, new life always blooms.

That’s exactly what’s happening at Franny’s Farm. We’re starting fresh with something that feels so right— our new Botanical Division . Just like these mountains, we’re resilient, and we’re pouring that energy into growing what truly heals: plants .

For me, it’s always been about creating real health, not quick fixes, not pharma pills, but the kind of care that comes from soil, sunshine, and soul. That’s why we’re growing botanicals on the farm and sourcing ethically from farmers as close to home as possible. Every product— our artisan soaps, lemongrass lotions, massage oils, and the seven-blend Chakra Tea line —is rooted in nature and designed to restore balance, inside and out.

These teas tell our story: seven chakras, seven paths to renewal. Each blend—like “I LOVE” for the Heart or “I SPEAK” for the Throat—carries intention and plants that have been trusted for centuries to heal and align. Launching this Botanical Division feels like a return home to the heart and to the land where Franny’s Farmacy Cannabis division and dispensaries were born. —a symbol of hope and transformation that mirrors what we’ve all been through. Asheville, we’ve got grit, grace, and a whole lot of love, and this is my way of sharing that with you.

Join us in this new chapter. Sip some tea, lather up with nature, and let’s rise together.
