Kara Jo Wellness & Greenbrier Herbalist

In August of 2025, we were presented with an opportunity to acquire a large herbal apothecary from a retiring clinical herbalist, Sharon Moncrief of Greenbrier Herbalist (see below). Nearly every day since then, we worked to create the space both physically and mentally to take on this new venture. We plowed a new farm plot, built a private apothecary on our farm, and worked closely with Sharon to create a smooth transition. We continue to sell her formulas at Kimberton Wholefoods in Ottsville and to private clients. Interested in working with Kara? Find out more!

In 1999 Sharon Moncrief started Greenbrier Herbalist in Upper Black Eddy, Pa where she practiced clinical herbalism and medicine making under the teachers of Michael Moore, David Winston, and Paul Bergner. She worked in her garden, with local farms, and trusted sources to bring her clients the highest quality medicine for over 25 years. We are excited to carry on her legacy, and for her to enjoy painting in her retirement!
