Our mission is to empower you with the time-honored knowledge of plants—offering handcrafted, herbal remedies that nourish the body, inspire connection, and root wellness in everyday life.

Why Red Root?

The name Red Root & Co honors Red Root (Ceanothus americanus), a North American plant long used in herbal medicine for its powerful astringent and lymphatic properties.The plant, Red Root, does not exist in isolation, but rather keeps dynamic company with its environment. Like this powerful herb we are each unique, recognized for individuality and contribute to a greater system. Red Root & Co is a nod to the beauty of individuality and kinship, and gratitude for the circles in which we thrive.

Meet Corey

I’m Corey, a certified herbalist in Harrisonburg, VA and the founder of Red Root & Co. My work is grounded in the belief that wellness begins with paying attention — to our bodies, our environment, and the plants growing around us.

Herbalism has been a lifelong path for me. I’ve been dreaming about food-entrepreneurship for the better part of four decades, tempting family and friends to indulge my experiments, while progressively discovering the niche I have come to embrace. 

Red Root & Co is my way of sharing what I’ve learned: that herbalism can be practical, beautiful, and part of everyday life. Whether you reach for our Fire Cider when cold season rolls around, sip a tonic to support your digestion, or simply want to add more plants to your plate, we’re here to help you reconnect with your health, naturally.
