Sacred Roots began in 2012, when founder Hillary Banachowski first got her hands dirty with organic gardening and urban homesteading in Frederick, MD.

By 2015, that curiosity had grown into something bigger: 35 acres of barren, once-farmed land, waiting to become the new home of Sacred Roots. The early days were humbly spent planting trees, laying tarps to smother stubborn weeds, and wrestling with thistle that seemed to spring up everywhere you looked.

But slowly, stubbornly, beautifully - the farm came to life. It drew in kindred spirits along the way, beautiful souls who wandered through, stayed a while, and left behind their own little bits of magic before moving on. The farm has always attracted people during a time in their lives when they most needed a sanctuary. Some have moved on, but others are still here, with their hands still in the soil, still part of the magic they helped create.

Today, the perennial herb gardens have grown glorious and nearly self-sustaining. Through the steady labor of Hillary, seasonal interns, devoted volunteers, and a healthy dose of Mother Nature, the land keeps giving and the gardens keep growing.
