Our Mission

To foster connection—to nature, community, and the wisdom of plants—through accessible herbal education, shared experiences, and meaningful gatherings.

About Us

At Healer's Harvest, we believe that learning about plants has the power to deepen our relationship with the natural world, strengthen community bonds, and support individual well-being. Through education, workshops, and collaborative spaces, we help people cultivate practical knowledge, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.

Healer's Harvest was founded in 2021 as an expression of a lifelong passion for plants, nature, education, and community.

What began as a personal herbal journey has evolved into a platform dedicated to making herbal education more accessible and creating opportunities for people to connect through a shared love of the natural world.

Today, Healer's Harvest offers free online herbal education, hosts local workshops and events, and serves as the home of The Herbalist's Collaborative—an online community where herbal students and practitioners gather to learn, share knowledge, and support one another's growth.

Looking ahead, Healer's Harvest is expanding toward a larger vision: a nature-based agritourism destination where education, farming, herbalism, and community experiences come together. While still in development, this vision continues to guide our work and inspire the programs we create.

Justine Ring

Founder, Healer’s Harvest

Hi, I'm Justine.

My herbal journey began in 2010 when a desire to reconnect with nature led me down a path that would ultimately shape both my life and career. Over the past fifteen years, I've explored nearly every corner of the herbal world—from farming and gardening to apothecary work, herbal product development, consultations, education, and community leadership.

In addition to my work as an herbalist, I bring more than twenty years of experience in the service industry, where I developed a deep appreciation for hospitality, relationship-building, and creating meaningful experiences for others. These values continue to influence everything I do today.

Through Healer's Harvest, I focus on collective wellbeing through herbal education, community building, and creating opportunities for people to connect with plants and one another.

I am the founder of The Herbalist's Collaborative, an online community that supports herbal students and practitioners through continuing education and peer connection. I also host workshops and events that help people engage with herbalism in practical, approachable, and inspiring ways.

In 2024, I co-founded GATHER, a regional herbal conference that brought together herbalists, growers, educators, and plant lovers from across the Northeast to learn, collaborate, and celebrate the rich traditions of herbal medicine.

My work is guided by a simple belief: when people develop a deeper relationship with nature and community, both individuals and communities become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.
