🚨 Executive Action on Hemp: A Win for the Industry, But the Fight Isn’t Over

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 20:23:00 GMT

��️ President Trump Signs Executive Order Supporting Hemp

In a monumental moment for the hemp industry, President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order acknowledging the devastating consequences of Congress’ proposed hemp ban—and calling for action.

The Executive Order recognizes the “challenging legal landscape including the recent changes to full-spectrum products” and urges improvements in access and standards across the hemp sector. This is the breakthrough we’ve been fighting for—and it’s a clear sign that our voices have been heard.

But this isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of a new phase in our fight to protect American hemp.

�� What This Means for the Hemp Industry

This Executive Order gives the hemp community a powerful new tool in its arsenal: official federal acknowledgment of the harm caused by the overreaching hemp ban. It signals to lawmakers that reform is necessary and that the public and industry demand regulation, not prohibition.

But we must act fast. Congress must now follow the President’s lead and eliminate the language that threatens our farms, our businesses, and our access to safe, lab-tested products like Delta-8, THCa, and full-spectrum hemp.

�� Join the Movement: Emergency Industry Call

To rally behind this momentum, HIFA (Hemp Industry First Alliance) is hosting an emergency call to break down:

What the Executive Order means
What steps we need to take immediately
How we pressure Congress to act before it’s too late
What long-term protections are needed

We will continue pushing for fair, smart, and sustainable regulations that protect our community—not punish it.

🚨 As Seen in the News: Franny Tacy Takes a Stand to Protect Hemp

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 13:43:00 GMT

The hemp industry is under fire—and Franny’s Farmacy is standing on the front lines of the fight.

Following the quiet passing of the 2026 Agriculture Appropriations Bill , which includes a federal ban on intoxicating hemp-derived products like Delta-8, THCa, and more, local and national media are turning their attention to voices who are rising up in resistance.

We’re proud to share that Franny Tacy , CEO and founder of Franny’s Farmacy, has been featured in both Mountain Xpress and The Charlotte Ledger as a leader in the movement to protect hemp, small farms, and consumer rights.

�� From Asheville to Charlotte: Franny in the Headlines

In Mountain Xpress , Franny speaks candidly about the devastation this law could bring to small farms and trusted local operators:

Meanwhile, The Charlotte Ledger echoes the concern, warning that the legislation could “wipe out the entire North Carolina hemp economy” if left unchallenged.

Consumers, advocates, and lawmakers are waking up to what’s at stake
States are beginning to reject prohibition in favor of thoughtful regulation

And Franny is helping lead the charge —connecting farmers, experts, and decision-makers to shape smarter, more sustainable cannabis policy for the future.

🚨 Hemp Under Fire: What the New Federal Ban Means — And Why We’re Still Fighting

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 16:58:00 GMT

If you follow the hemp industry, you know this: the ground has shifted beneath us. In November 2025, Congress quietly passed a spending bill that redefines what “legal hemp” means — effectively banning most intoxicating hemp‑derived THC products nationwide. Vicente LLP +2 WIRED +2

This change threatens not just novelty items or niche wellness products, but entire livelihoods — including small farms, retailers, and the people who rely on hemp for wellness, jobs, and community.

�� Voices in the Media — WNC and Beyond

Local and regional publications are already sounding the alarm. In recent coverage, one outlet warned that these “new federal THC rules could wipe out WNC hemp industry.” WFAE +1 Another described the shift as a potential “devastating ban” for growers across North Carolina — one that “could outlaw popular hemp products” including cannabinoids many take for relief and wellness. NC Newsline +2 WRAL News +2

National analysis echoes the same concern: this legislation could decimate billions in sales, eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and collapse much of the legal hemp market. Food & Wine +2 Saul Ewing LLP +2

�� What This Means for Franny’s — and for You

For nearly a decade, Franny’s Farmacy has stood as a woman‑owned, farmer‑founded brand — rooted in regenerative farming in Western North Carolina, community care, and plant-based wellness. Now, that foundation is being shaken.

Products many depend on — THC drinks, edibles, gummies, flower, tinctures, vape cartridges — could vanish or become illegal under the new rules. Saul Ewing LLP +1
Retailers and farms across the state are already reporting they “can’t really pivot,” fearing the ban will eliminate virtually their entire product selection. 88.5 WFDD +1
For consumers, this means fewer choices, higher prices, and increased risk of unregulated products filling the void. WRAL News +1

�� But the Conversation Is Far From Over — and So Are We

At Franny’s, we refuse to sit back. Since the law passed:

We’ve been aligning with other farmers, business owners, and hemp advocates — lobbying, organizing, and mobilizing.
We’re helping coordinate petitions and legal challenges, working with regulators, attorneys, and grassroots networks to shape real regulation — not prohibition.
We’re staying connected to media and policymakers to ensure the voices of small farms, families, and hemp users are heard and counted.

Because we believe in a future where hemp is valued not for noise or novelty, but for healing, community, and honest work.

�� What You Can Do: Act Now

Speak up. If you believe in hemp, let your voice be heard. Write to your representatives — tell them why hemp matters.
Support local hemp businesses. Buy local while you still can; every purchase supports farmers and families.
Stay informed. Laws are changing fast — and so is our response. Follow updates, sign petitions, stay alert.

We don’t know exactly how it will all play out — enforcement, regulation, or reform — but we do know who we are: resilient, rooted, and unafraid to stand for what’s right.

Franny’s Farmacy will remain here. We’ll keep growing. We’ll keep advocating. And we’ll keep fighting for hemp.

The Hemp Ban Isn’t the End—It’s the Beginning of a Grassroots Movement

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:54:00 GMT

When Congress quietly passed the 2026 Appropriations Bill, it included one line that sent shockwaves through the hemp industry:

“Prevents the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products, including Delta-8, from being sold online, in gas stations, and corner stores…”

Let’s be clear: This is not regulation—it’s prohibition.
And Franny’s Farmacy is not backing down.

�� “We’re Fighting for Regulation, Not Prohibition.” — Franny Tacy

In the days since the ban was signed, Franny Tacy and her team have been hard at work , rallying alongside cannabis attorneys, advocates, lobbyists, and business owners to protect the future of hemp.

“This is about protecting access, protecting farms, and protecting freedom. We’re fighting for regulation , not a blanket ban that punishes good actors,” says Franny.

From Raleigh to D.C. , Franny is keeping the right people in the room—connecting operators, experts, and lawmakers to shape realistic, informed hemp policy .

�� A True Grassroots Movement Has Already Begun

Since the bill’s passing:

Thousands of letters have poured into Congress protesting the ban
Media outlets are amplifying hemp voices
States across the country are rejecting prohibition in favor of regulation and stability

�� And Congress is listening.
Franny and her allies are making waves in Washington—and your voice is a big part of that.

�� What Happens Next?

The ban doesn’t go into full effect until November 2026 , which means:

We have one year to fight, adapt, and rewrite the rules
State lawmakers and regulators will decide how this plays out locally
The federal government cannot enforce this alone —it will unfold state by state
Hemp and CBD products are still legal and safe to purchase right now

This means you can still shop your favorite products , but also need to stay vigilant and involved .

�� Take Action Now

We’ve partnered with allies across the country to launch a petition and build a new platform to organize, educate, and rally support.

�� Sign the petition to protect regulated hemp :

We’ve built this industry from the ground up. We’ve weathered literal storms and legal gray areas. We’ve created jobs, healed communities, and grown something that matters.

Now, we’re calling on YOU.

�� Stay informed.
�� Sign the petition.
�� Keep buying local hemp.

🚨 The Hemp Ban Is Real — And It’s Happening NOW

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:15:00 GMT

A Sneaky Move in Washington Just Threatened the Entire Hemp Industry

In a stunning and deeply alarming move, Congress has passed an appropriations bill that includes a one-line provision that could devastate the hemp industry overnight.

Buried deep within the 2026 Agriculture, Rural Development, FDA, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act , this line reads:

“Prevents the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products, including Delta-8, from being sold online, in gas stations, and corner stores, while preserving non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp products.”

Let’s be clear: This is a federal ban on hemp-derived THC.
And it’s been snuck into a government funding bill meant to prevent a shutdown— without open debate or public input.

�� What This Means for You, the Consumer

No more access to Delta-8, Delta-10, THC-O, or THCa flower sold online
Mass closures of small hemp businesses across the country
Loss of choice in safe, legal, lab-tested hemp alternatives
Economic destruction for family farmers, female entrepreneurs, and regenerative brands like ours
Millions of dollars in potential tax revenue and jobs erased

�� Why This Hits Franny’s Farmacy Hard

At Franny’s, we’ve fought from the soil up —as North Carolina’s first female hemp farmer, we’ve built this mission on education, healing, and community-based cannabis access . This bill threatens everything we’ve cultivated —our products, our purpose, and our people.

We’ve survived hurricanes, stigma, and industry setbacks. But this is different.
This is federal prohibition—disguised as a footnote.

✊ We Must Act NOW

We cannot let this stand. There is still time to demand that Congress AMEND this bill and REMOVE the hemp ban language before it becomes permanent law.

🌿 Together for Hemp: A Victory Worth Celebrating

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 14:51:00 GMT

�� Together for Hemp: A Victory Worth Celebrating

We’re thrilled to share a powerful win for the hemp industry—and for every farmer, entrepreneur, and advocate who believes in the right to grow, produce, and access federally legal hemp products .

Thanks to widespread public support and behind-the-scenes advocacy, Senator Mitch McConnell has agreed to remove restrictive hemp language from the Senate Agriculture Appropriations bill . This decision marks a meaningful pause on what could have been devastating limitations for thousands of small businesses across the country.

�� A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Hemp Family

At Franny’s Farmacy, we know that change only happens when communities rise up together . And that’s exactly what happened here.

To our loyal customers, friends, family, and fellow farmers—you showed up. You spoke out. You stood firm. And your voices made a difference .

We also want to extend deep gratitude to Senator Rand Paul , HIFA , USHRT , and AHAA for their tireless work behind the scenes advocating for hemp businesses and protecting the future of this industry.

⚖️ What This Means—and What Comes Next

While this is an important and encouraging step forward, the work is far from over. Senator McConnell’s office has made it clear that he remains committed to shaping hemp legislation and closing perceived “loopholes” in the market .

So what does that mean for all of us? It means we need to stay engaged, stay educated, and stay united . Your voice matters—whether it’s signing a petition, contacting your legislators, or supporting businesses that are actively advocating for hemp access and education.

�� Franny’s Commitment to Advocacy

As a woman-owned, farmer-founded business, Franny’s Farmacy was built on resilience, transparency, and grassroots activism . From the beginning, we’ve fought to protect our right to grow hemp, serve our communities, and support wellness through nature. And we’ll continue to do that—no matter what comes next.

Because protecting hemp is about more than just one product or business model. It’s about protecting:

Sustainable farming
Small business innovation
Freedom of choice in wellness
A future where plant medicine is accessible to all

✨ Thank You for Standing With Us

This win is yours as much as it is ours. Thank you for being part of the Franny’s Farmacy family—and for continuing to support a movement grounded in freedom, plants, and people over profit .

We’re here. We’re strong. And we’re just getting started.

Rising from the Roots: The Story of Franny’s Farm and the Birth of Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:40:00 GMT

�� A Life Woven with the Land
For over 25 years, I’ve been a thread in the vibrant tapestry of Asheville, North Carolina. I arrived with a Smithsonian Institute scholarship at Montreat, teaching school while immersing myself in the heartbeat of this community—dancing under the stars at LEAF Festival, coaching sports for 12 years, and planting roots in this Blue Ridge holler. My path twisted from the classroom to a pharmaceutical career, where FOX dubbed me the “hippie in high heels.” But the call of the earth was louder than any boardroom, so I quit my job, bought 18 acres of raw land, and started Franny’s Farm—a sanctuary of service, heart, and connection.

Franny’s Farm blossomed into a national sensation, hosting Farm Camp, Goat Yoga, events, and lodging. It was a place where kids learned to love the soil, where laughter echoed through yoga sessions, and where community gathered under open skies. As North Carolina’s first female hemp farmer and a plant medicine advocate, I poured my soul into this land, growing food, flowers, and, yes, “weed” with a wink and a purpose. But in September 2024, Hurricane Helene tested us in ways I never imagined.

�� The Storm That Changed Everything
When the waters rose, they didn’t just flood our fields—they swept away dreams. Franny’s Farm and our flagship Franny’s Farmacy store and distribution center in Leicester were devastated. With zero dollars in flood insurance and only 5% loss coverage for the store, the damage was a gut punch—hundreds of thousands in losses, from ruined crops to destroyed infrastructure. My heart ached, but this community, our “Franny’s Farm Holler,” refused to let us drown.

Neighbors, friends, and strangers turned the farm into a resource hub, serving over 1,000 meals to those in need. Helicopters, organized by friends from the psychedelic association, Florida, and East Coast cannabis growers, delivered first aid and critical supplies to families with kids. We became a beacon in the chaos, proving that love and grit can outshine any storm. But the losses were real, and the path forward demanded change.

�� A New Seed Planted
Helene forced me to let go, but in that surrender, I found clarity. I sold half the farm—the event center and cabins—to the next generation of regenerative farmers, a community I’d nurtured since buying that first parcel 12 years ago. Franny’s Farm is now consolidated on our remaining two properties, and from this smaller footprint, a new vision has taken root: Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division.

This isn’t a pivot—it’s a homecoming. I’ve been “Farmer Franny” for decades, growing, harvesting, drying, and blending botanicals with a reverence for the Earth. Our Botanical Division is the culmination of that passion, focusing on our Chakra Tea line, like the grounding “I AM” Root Chakra Tea. Each blend is crafted with locally grown or sourced herbs, infused with ancient wisdom and modern science. These teas aren’t just beverages—they’re rituals, invitations to reconnect with the land and ourselves.

�� Franny’s Truth
“I’m humble, grateful, and damn determined,” I say, my voice steady with resolve. “This community carried me when I couldn’t stand, and now I’m fueled by a fierce focus to see us all thrive—rooted, resilient, and whole.”

As Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us, “The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don’t wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.” At Franny’s Farm, we’re choosing happiness, planting new seeds, and trusting they’ll grow.

�� Join Our Journey
Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division is a woman-led movement, born from the Blue Ridge Mountains and forged in resilience. Visit our three retail locations in the Asheville area, sip our Chakra Teas, and weave your story into our Hurricane Helene survive-and-thrive saga. This is about service, heart, and the power of plants to heal us all.

With dirt under my nails and fire in my soul,
Franny Tacy

Politicians at it F**kin’ Again: The Hemp Ban No One Asked For!

By Franny Tacy, the first female to plant hemp in North Carolina
Founder and CEO, Franny’s Farm & Franny’s Farmacy

Well, here we f**kin’ go again.
Politicians are at it — ego-trippin’ and empire-buildin’ — instead of listening to the people.

Ole Mitch McConnell and Andy Harris are pushing a “legacy” bill that would BAN HEMP nationwide. Yep, you read that right. Mitch’s farewell gift to America is to kill the plant that built this country .

What an idiot move — like cutting off your whole damn foot because you’ve got an ingrown toenail.

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� We Stand for Common Sense, Not Chaos

We in the hemp industry have always supported commonsense regulation :
✅ 21+ access
✅ School zone protections
✅ Third-party testing
✅ Transparent labeling
✅ Child-proof packaging

We want safety, standards, and accountability.
But instead of working with us, they’re trying to erase us — destroying farms, small businesses, and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of hardworking Americans.

Today, Franny’s Farmacy …..Balancing Mission and Market

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� My Story — From Pharma to the Farm

When I planted hemp in 2017 , it was still federally illegal .
North Carolina was just the third state in the U.S. to grow under a pilot program.

Franny Tacy founder of the revolutionary brand Franny’s Farmacy . Known for being North Carolina’s first female hemp farmer and a driving force to establish the modern American hemp industry in conjunction with regenerative agriculture, Tacy is a pioneer whose life is a cyclone of activity.

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� From Pills to Plants

I spent over a decade in pharmaceuticals before I walked away from that system to return to my inner knowing — plants over pills .

We, the people, are taking our health into our own hands. Hemp is helping veterans with PTSD, seniors with arthritis, and people with chronic pain. It’s time we stop criminalizing wellness.

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� History Repeats — The Hollywood Lesson

When Edison’s trust crushed indie filmmakers with iron patents, rebels fled east to west, birthing Hollywood from nothing.
They flipped short reels into cinematic epics, ignoring threats until the monopoly shattered in court.

Now it’s our cue:
Stand loud. Build bold. Or let giants own the show.
(For the full grit, read The Story of Hollywood by Gregory Paul Williams.)

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� America’s Always Been Built by the Rebels

America’s born from sweat — garage hackers, farm inventors, dreamers bleeding for breakthroughs — until the giants swoop in to buy them out and build empires.

Hemp hustlers grind today, turning dirt to dollars in the post-2018 boom, only for Big Pharma and Agri-corps to lobby for rules that’d nuke 95% of small farms.

We are the roots.
Fight the stranglehold, own your fire, or watch ‘em harvest our harvest.

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� A Global Sisterhood of Medicine Women

Ancient women used cannabis for all-no apologies. Scythian priestesses, 2500 BC, smoked it through bronze braziers for childbirth, cramps, menopause blues, grilled it in bronze bowls for soldiers’ guts and midwives’ nerves;

Mayan healers in Peru soaked it in tea for feverish kids, aching dads, howling women in labor. No gender gate, no patent stamp-just resin on lips, pain off backs.

Real power: no middlemen, just root and ritual. Now, empires hide it, but history’s roaring back.

The oldest recorded use of cannabis? Women’s health and childbirth.
And we’re still fighting to free it in 2025.

_______________________________________________________________________________

�� What About Our Seniors and Veterans?

We have helped hundreds of thousands of Seniors, veterans, parents, care-takers and people who rely on hemp every day for natural relief and alternatives to pharmaceuticals..
What happens when it’s banned?
Do we tell Grandma to “just live with the pain”?

You think she won’t find it?

She’ll get it from her grandkids — and it’ll all move underground.

We only transition to a huge, thriving, Black market with no regulations, like 100 steps backwards with no path forward except to start arresting everyone and bring down hands of enforcement. It’s not worked real well for us so far and to attack our own people, no way, not again. We’ve come too far!

That’s not safety.
That’s stupidity.

_______________________________________________________________________________

⚠️ The Real Threat

Congress is trying to codify a nationwide hemp ban in the federal appropriations bill.
Mitch McConnell & Andy Harris are ignoring 72% of voters who support safe, legal hemp.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs and tens of thousands of farms are on the line.

This is not just a bill — it’s a war on wellness .

Sleep Is Sacred: How Franny’s Farmacy Supports Better Rest Naturally 🌙

One Year After Hurricane Helene: Resilience, Renewal & Community Roots 🌱

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 11:00:00 GMT

One Year After Hurricane Helene: Resilience, Renewal & Community Roots ��

It’s been a full year since Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, leaving devastation in its path and forcing our Merrimon Avenue location to close for 47 days. But in true Franny’s Farmacy fashion, we turned hardship into healing and came back stronger than ever . Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come with heartfelt gratitude for our loyal customers, community, and team who helped us rebuild, regroup, and reimagine what’s possible.

Rising Strong: Merrimon Avenue, Reimagined

Our flagship Merrimon Avenue store didn’t just reopen; it evolved. With the support of local artists, muralists, contractors, and customers, we transformed our space into something beautiful and bold:

�� Locally painted murals that celebrate creativity and community
✨ A whimsical new tea lounge for calm moments, conscious conversations, and curated events
�� In-store happenings like tea parties, sound baths, movie nights, joint rolling competitions, and more

The new Merrimon is more than a store; it’s a sanctuary for healing, connection, and conscious living.

Asheville’s First Outdoor Consumption Lounge

In West Asheville, we opened our newest location on Haywood Road , complete with Asheville’s ONLY outdoor cannabis consumption lounge . This location has quickly become a hotspot for:

Sip & sample experiences
Community events
Wellness pop-ups
Relaxation and outdoor vibes

This space is a celebration of everything Franny’s stands for: education, connection, and Appalachian-curated wellness made accessible for all.

WNC STRONG: A Community That Carried Us

We’ll never forget the acts of love and loyalty we witnessed during those difficult days:

Customers driving from Hendersonville to keep us going
Friends and neighbors checking in, donating time, sending encouragement
Online orders poured in to say: “We’re with you.”

You reminded us that Franny’s isn’t just a brand, it’s a movement . And that movement is powered by people like you .

What’s Brewing Next?

Our journey doesn’t stop here. The same community spirit that helped us survive Hurricane Helene is now fueling our future:

Monthly events at Merrimon and Haywood
Expanding our botanical and beverage lines
Activating new spaces for learning, healing, and togetherness

We’re focused on wellness from the ground up, rooted in the mountains, made with love, and powered by resilient humans .

Thank You for Sticking With Us ��

If there’s one thing this past year has shown us, it’s that we are WNC STRONG . Your support carried us through our toughest season and into a bright new chapter filled with laughter, light, and leafy greens.

Roll to Recovery: A Farm-Favorite Solution for Everyday Pain

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:33:00 GMT

Created by Franny, Loved by Many — Now Spotlighted for Pain Awareness Month

September marks Pain Awareness Month , a time to educate and empower those living with chronic pain, inflammation, and daily discomforts. At Franny’s Farmacy, we take pain seriously—and we take relief seriously too.

That’s why this month, we’re shining a light on one of our most beloved and effective wellness staples :

�� Roll to Recovery CBD Menthol Roll-On

Shop Now →

Born from Real Pain, Backed by Real Relief

This isn’t just any roll-on. It was created by our founder and CEO, Franny Tacy , for her own pain management needs. After years of farming, running Franny’s Farmacy, and playing collegiate sports, Franny developed a pinched nerve in her neck —the kind of deep, nagging pain that standard remedies couldn’t touch.

Rather than turn to synthetic ingredients or pharmaceutical solutions, Franny turned to what she knew best: plant-powered healing . She crafted this clean, targeted roll-on using nano CBD , cooling menthol , and soothing arnica —and found immediate relief.

Today, this roll-on is not only a top seller —it’s a daily essential for our team, including Franny Absalom , who uses it every morning as part of her personal self-care ritual.

What Makes It Different?

Many store-bought roll-ons are loaded with artificial ingredients or lack real potency. The Roll to Recovery stands out thanks to its:

Nano CBD : For better absorption and deeper penetration into muscle tissue
Menthol : For immediate cooling relief and increased circulation
Arnica : A natural herb used for centuries to soothe soreness and inflammation
Clean formula : No parabens, no petroleum, and no synthetic fillers

�� Who It’s For

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a yogi, a gardener, or someone simply dealing with the wear and tear of daily life, Roll to Recovery is designed for you.

Best uses include:

Chronic muscle or joint stiffness
Post-workout recovery
Tension headaches
Arthritis or inflammation
Nagging neck, back, or shoulder pain
General body aches from stress or activity

�� Free Healing Salve Sample — All Month Long!

As a special Pain Awareness Month promotion , we’re offering a FREE sample-size Healing Salve with every $50+ purchase. It’s our way of saying thank you for choosing natural solutions that work.

Edibles vs Topicals for Pain — Which One’s Right for You?

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 13:34:00 GMT

When it comes to managing pain naturally, CBD and CBG products come in a variety of forms, but the two most popular? Topicals and edibles.

While both can be incredibly effective, they work in very different ways. Here’s what you need to know to decide which product is best for your needs, or why a combination may be the most powerful approach.

�� Topicals: Targeted, Non-Psychoactive Pain Relief

Topicals like Franny’s Healing Salve are applied directly to the skin and provide localized relief . These products do not enter the bloodstream (unless designed as a transdermal patch), making them perfect for spot treatment.

Topical Benefits :

Onset time: 15–20 minutes
Targets joints, muscles, skin irritation
No psychoactive effects
Great for post-workout soreness, arthritis, or daily aches

�� Edibles: Full-Body Support for Chronic Pain

Edibles like Recharge CBG Gummies or Recharge Tinctures provide systemic relief , ideal for chronic, widespread discomfort.

Edible Benefits :

Onset time: 30–120 minutes
Best for internal pain, inflammation, and stress-related discomfort
Effects last longer and support mood, sleep, and emotional well-being
Psychoactive potential depends on product formulation (our Recharge line is non-psychoactive)

�� Which One’s Right for You?

�� Free Healing Salve Sample – This Month (September) Only!

Spend $50 online or in-store and receive a free sample-size jar of our Healing Salve automatically added to your order—just in time to feel your best this fall.

�� Featuring the Recharge Line: Powerhouse Pain Support from Within

Pain is often more than skin deep, which is why we also recommend pairing topicals with internal support. Our Recharge line is specifically formulated to provide full-body relief and support for inflammation using CBG , the “mother cannabinoid.”

�� What Makes CBG Special?

CBG has powerful swelling-reducing and neuroprotective properties, making it ideal for those dealing with long-term discomfort, autoimmune flare-ups, or pain caused by inflammation.

✔️ Franny’s Vegan Recharge Gummies (25mg CBD + 10mg CBG)
✔️ Recharge Full-Spectrum Tincture

These formulas promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and support your body’s natural ability to repair and restore.

✨ Feel Better, Naturally

From Asheville’s Heart to Chakra Gardens: My Journey of Healing and Growth

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 16:39:00 GMT

�� A Life Rooted in Asheville’s Spirit
I’m Franny Tacy, and for over 25 years, Asheville, North Carolina, has been my home, my muse, and my teacher. This mountain town, with its vibrant pulse and ancient wisdom, has shaped me into the woman I am today—Farmer Franny, the “hippie in high heels” who left a pharmaceutical career to sow seeds of healing at Franny’s Farm. But my deepest grounding, inspiration, and lessons come from a sacred space right here: the Asheville Yoga Center, now the International Ayurvedic Center, where souls from across the globe gather to learn from masterful teachers. It’s where I align my chakras, find my center, and draw the wisdom that fuels our Chakra Gardens and the tea blends of Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division.

�� The International Ayurvedic Center: My Sanctuary
The Asheville Yoga Center, reborn as the International Ayurvedic Center, is a beacon for those seeking holistic healing. People come from every corner of the world to train under its renowned teachers, diving into Ayurveda’s 5,000-year-old science of life. For me, it’s more than a training ground—it’s where I return to realign my energy, soak in the teachings of balance, and connect with the Earth’s rhythms. The center’s programs, from yoga teacher trainings to Ayurvedic practitioner courses, blend ancient practices with modern insights, offering tools to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. It’s here that I’ve learned to listen to my doshas, chant the mantra “LAM” for my root chakra, and brew herbal teas to soothe my soul.

But my greatest teachers aren’t just the ones leading classes. They’re also the relationships that have shaped me—some still blooming, others faded but rich with wisdom. Just because I act with awareness and the best intentions doesn’t mean I’m immune to life’s raw edges. None of us are. Love, loss, joy, and pain—they’re all part of this dense reality of being human. And then there’s death, the one truth no one escapes. As Rumi so beautifully said, “Death is our wedding with eternity.” It’s a date with the divine, a reminder to live fully in each moment, to learn from every teacher, and to grow through every season.

�� Lessons from Life’s Teachers
My journey hasn’t been a straight path. I’ve danced through Asheville’s LEAF Festival, coached sports for 12 years, and taught school before my pharmaceutical career took me far from the land. But the lessons from those years, and the relationships that came and went, taught me resilience. Some connections no longer flourish, yet they left behind seeds of wisdom—patience, forgiveness, and the courage to keep growing. At the International Ayurvedic Center, I’ve learned to see these experiences as chakra imbalances that can be healed with intention. A blocked heart chakra from a lost friendship? I sip our “I LOVE” Heart Chakra Tea, with tulsi and nettle, and breathe into gratitude. A scattered mind? I turn to our “I KNOW” Crown Chakra Tea, with peppermint and lavender, to find clarity.

Hurricane Helene tested me in ways I never imagined, flooding Franny’s Farm and our flagship Franny’s Farmacy store with devastating losses and only 5% insurance coverage. But the teachings of Ayurveda, and the wisdom from my life’s teachers, carried me through. I sold half the farm to regenerative farmers, consolidating our vision on two properties where our Chakra Gardens now thrive. These gardens, and the THC-free tea blends they inspire, are my offering to the world—a reflection of the healing and growth I’ve experienced within.

�� Chakra Gardens: Growing Healing
The Chakra Gardens at Franny’s Farm are my heart made visible. Each plot is dedicated to herbs that balance one of the seven chakras, from ashwagandha for grounding the root to butterfly pea for awakening the third eye. These plants are grown with reverence, tended by hands that know the soil’s sacredness. Our Chakra Tea line, part of Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division, is born from these gardens—blends like “I AM” for stability and “I SEE” for intuition, crafted without THC to harness pure plant power. Every sip is a ritual, a moment to align with the wisdom I’ve gained from Asheville’s teachers and life’s lessons.

Ayurveda teaches us that healing is an inside job, but it’s rooted in the Earth. The International Ayurvedic Center showed me how to listen to my body’s signals, and my life’s teachers—human and divine—taught me to trust that growth follows pain. Rumi’s words remind me that even death is a step toward eternity, so I live boldly, planting seeds for others to heal as I have.

�� An Invitation to Heal
Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division is my love letter to you, inspired by the International Ayurvedic Center and the teachers who’ve shaped me. Visit our three retail locations in Asheville, sip our Chakra Teas, and join me in this dance of healing. Let’s grow together, rooted in the wisdom of the land and the divine within us all.

With a heart full of gratitude and hands in the dirt,
Franny Tacy

Blooming Through the Storm: Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division & the Chakra Gardens

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 13:13:00 GMT

�� A Joyful New Dawn
Here in the rolling embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Franny’s Farm is singing a song of resilience and rebirth. After the wild winds and waters of Hurricane Helene tried to dim our light, we’re rising—stronger, brighter, and bursting with purpose. The heart of our farm beats with joy as we introduce Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division, a love-soaked venture dedicated to the pure, THC-free healing power of plants. And at the core of this vision are our Chakra Gardens, where every herb is grown with intention to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

For over 25 years, I’ve danced through Asheville’s vibrant community—teaching, coaching, and celebrating at LEAF Festival. I left a pharmaceutical career (and those “hippie in high heels” days, as FOX called them) to return to the land, because deep in my bones, I knew the truth: “After over a decade in pharmaceuticals, I too believed that only plants can heal and that Big Business, aka the pharmaceutical industry, is invested in ‘unhealthcare,’” I say with a spark in my eye. The land called me home, and Franny’s Farm became a haven—a place of Farm Camp, Goat Yoga, and community connection. Now, with our Botanical Division, we’re sharing that healing magic far and wide.

�� The Chakra Gardens: Where Healing Grows
Step into our Chakra Gardens, where the air hums with life and every plant is a partner in wellness. These sacred plots at Franny’s Farm are dedicated to growing herbs for our Chakra Tea line—seven blends, each crafted to balance a specific energy center. From the grounding “I AM” Root Chakra Tea, with roasted yerba mate and ashwagandha, to the soothing “I KNOW” Crown Chakra Tea, with peppermint and lavender, every sip is a ritual of reconnection. These aren’t just teas; they’re invitations to pause, breathe, and align with the Earth’s rhythm. Grown without THC, our blends harness the raw, real power of botanicals—because healing doesn’t need a buzz, just a root.

Our gardens are more than soil and stems; they’re a testament to resilience. When Helene’s floods swept through, we replanted. When our flagship Franny’s Farmacy store faced near-total loss with only 5% insurance coverage, we rebuilt. We sold half the farm to regenerative farmers, consolidating our focus on two properties where our Chakra Gardens now thrive. This is our love letter to the land and to you—a promise that from every challenge, new growth emerges.

�� A Plea for the Land, Our Lifeline
Dr. Zach Bush, a visionary in regenerative medicine, once said, “The soil is the source of all life, and from it comes our capacity to heal.” His words echo what we’ve always known at Franny’s Farm: all healing comes from the land. Our bodies, our breath, our very existence are intertwined with the Earth’s magnificence. We breathe each other—this beautiful, living world and our own sacred selves—dancing a song of life that keeps us thriving. So I make a plea: care for the land as you care for yourself. Tend the soil, plant a seed, or simply walk barefoot on the grass. We’re dependent on each other, and in this dance, we find wholeness.

�� Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division: Pure Plant Power
Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division is a woman-led celebration of plant medicine, rooted in the Blue Ridge and reaching for the stars. Our Chakra Tea line, born from the Chakra Gardens, is crafted with locally grown or sourced herbs, blended with ancient wisdom and modern care. No THC, no gimmicks—just real plants for real healing. As the “hippie in high heels” who returned to the land, I’ve learned we each hold all we need to heal ourselves. These teas are tools to unlock that inner knowing, sip by sip.

�� Join the Dance
Come visit our three retail locations in the Asheville area, where you can taste the joy of our Chakra Teas and feel the pulse of our survive-and-thrive story. Let’s care for the land, breathe each other’s magnificence, and dance this life together. As Rumi reminds us, “Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.”

With dirt-stained hands and a heart full of joy,
Franny Tacy

Healing from Within: The Power of Ayurvedic Wisdom and Modern Medicine’s Evolution

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 14:55:00 GMT

�� A Journey to Holistic Health
In a world where chronic illness and stress are on the rise, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is experiencing a renaissance, offering a holistic path to healing that integrates mind, body, and spirit. At Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division, we’re inspired by this timeless tradition as we craft our THC-free Chakra Tea line, grown in the sacred Chakra Gardens of our Blue Ridge Mountain farm. But what makes Ayurveda so compelling today? We turn to internationally acclaimed practitioners like Deepak Chopra and others, alongside Western medicine pioneers like Zach Bush, who have embraced a transformative perspective on health. Their insights, backed by press and research, illuminate a future where healing comes from within and in harmony with the Earth.

�� Ayurveda: The Science of Life
Ayurveda, meaning “knowledge of life” in Sanskrit, is a 5,000-year-old Indian system that emphasizes balance through diet, herbs, meditation, and lifestyle. As Deepak Chopra, a global leader in integrative medicine, explains, “Ayurveda is useful in any chronic illness. Coronary artery disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammations. Bronchial asthma, obesity, type II diabetes. Because these are all linked to lifestyle.” His work, featured in outlets like WUSA9 , highlights how Ayurveda restores homeostasis—the body’s natural state of balance—through modalities like herbal teas and mindfulness practices. At Franny’s Farmacy, our “I AM” Root Chakra Tea, with ashwagandha and roasted yerba mate, embodies this principle, grounding the body to combat stress and inflammation.

Chopra’s influence extends beyond theory. In a Los Angeles Times profile, he’s described as blending “Eastern wisdom, pop science, and plain common sense” to advocate for holistic healing. His book Ageless Body, Timeless Mind became a global bestseller, promoting the idea that mental state can influence aging and health. He’s also been a vocal critic of over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, noting, “When all you do is prescribe medication, you start to feel like a legalized drug pusher. That doesn’t mean that all prescriptions are useless, but it is true that 80 percent of all drugs prescribed today are of optional or marginal benefit.” This perspective resonates with our mission to offer plant-based, THC-free solutions that empower self-healing.

�� Global Voices in Ayurvedic Healing
Ayurveda’s reach extends far beyond India, with practitioners like Vasant Lad and Suhas Kshirsagar bringing its wisdom to the West. Vasant Lad, founder of the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico, is celebrated for his practical approach to Ayurvedic diagnostics, such as pulse reading to assess dosha imbalances (vata, pitta, kapha). In a Yoga Journal interview, Lad emphasized, “Ayurveda teaches us to cherish our innate nature, to love and honor who we are, not as what others want us to be.” His book The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies is a staple for those seeking natural solutions for ailments from digestive issues to anxiety.

Suhas Kshirsagar, an Ayurvedic physician and author of The Hot Belly Diet , has been featured in Forbes for his work integrating Ayurveda with modern wellness trends. He states, “Ayurveda is not just about treating disease; it’s about creating a lifestyle that prevents it.” His approach, which includes personalized diet plans based on dosha types, aligns with Franny’s Farmacy’s focus on teas tailored to specific energy centers, like our “I LOVE” Heart Chakra Tea for emotional balance.

Internationally, Ayurveda is recognized as a primary medical system in countries like India and Nepal, where 80% of the population uses it, according to Wikipedia . In Mauritius, a study published on Science.gov found that Ayurvedic outlets, from pharmacies to clinics, are vital for chronic disease management, with practitioners dispensing herbs like turmeric and tulsi based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). These global perspectives underscore Ayurveda’s universal appeal, which we channel into our Chakra Tea line, crafted with locally sourced herbs to honor both tradition and sustainability.

�� Zach Bush: A Western Doctor’s Awakening
While Ayurveda offers ancient wisdom, Western medicine is evolving through voices like Zach Bush, MD, a triple board-certified physician who shifted from conventional practice to a holistic view centered on the microbiome and ecological health. In a 2020 article co-authored with Deepak Chopra for SFGate , Bush challenges the narrative of human supremacy over nature, stating, “The soil is the source of all life, and from it comes our capacity to heal.” This aligns with our belief at Franny’s Farmacy that healing begins with the land, as seen in our Chakra Gardens, where we grow herbs like lemon verbena and nettle to nurture body and soul.

Bush’s transformation is rooted in his realization that modern medicine often treats symptoms rather than causes. In a World Business Academy piece, he and Chopra write, “The catastrophe of COVID-19 has prompted some radical rethinking. Can a new and better world emerge? Not unless our worldview changes.” Bush’s focus on the microbiome— trillions of microbes that connect us to the Earth—echoes Ayurveda’s holistic view. He’s quoted in The Guardian saying, “We’ve lost our connection to the intelligence of nature, and that’s why we’re sick.” His work inspires our commitment to regenerative farming, ensuring our teas are not only healing but also sustainable.

�� A Call to Heal Together
The convergence of Ayurvedic wisdom and modern insights from doctors like Zach Bush points to a universal truth: we hold the power to heal ourselves by reconnecting with the Earth. As Chopra says, “You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.” At Franny’s Farmacy Botanical Division, our Chakra Tea line—grown in the Chakra Gardens and free of THC—invites you to embrace this power. From the grounding “I AM” to the intuitive “I SEE,” each blend is a step toward balance and vitality.

We invite you to visit our three retail locations in Asheville, explore our teas, and join the dance of healing. As Zach Bush reminds us, “The soil is the source of all life.” Let’s tend to it, breathe its magnificence, and thrive together.

With roots in the Earth and wings in the stars,
Franny Tacy

Franny’s Farm Rises Anew: Announcing Our Botanical Division

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 13:34:00 GMT

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.
Shop now at FrannysFarmacy.com or visit us in one of our six NC locations.

Here’s How You Can Join Us

✔️ Carry Our Teas in Your Store – Wholesale now available! Bring the magic of Franny’s Chakra Teas to your customers.

Frannyism of the day: Loving, not judging. ��
