Our Story
The Turmeric Tart was born from a deep passion for plant medicine and a commitment to preserving the rich herbal traditions of Appalachia.
Founded by certified herbalist Brittnay Allen and John Penland (Modern Floki), our apothecary represents the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern herbal practice.
What began as a way to share herbal knowledge has grown into a space where people can explore natural remedies, enjoy herbal teas, and reconnect with the power of plants.
Rooted in Appalachian Tradition
Our work is deeply connected to traditional Appalachian herbalism — a practice shaped by generations of knowledge, the land, and the seasons.
We honor these traditions while making herbal wellness approachable and relevant for modern life.
Meet Brittnay Allen, Certified Herbalist
Brittnay brings both formal training and lived experience to every blend and product. Her approach to herbalism centers on education, intention, and helping people feel confident using herbs in their daily lives.
Every product is created with care, drawing from traditional use, practical application, and a deep respect for plant medicine.
