Wild Carrot Herbals
Bryan is taking the month of October to shine a light on some of the fantastic female business owners that we are fortunate to work with at the Sunflower Shoppe. For 23 years, Jody Berry has been the founder and formulator of Wild Carrot Herbals. Having studied organic farming at the Evergreen State College, her passion for medicinal herbs took root and blossomed. Her formulations are born from a deep connection with the Earth, inspired by the plants and landscapes that nourish them. From humble beginnings, crafting salves in her kitchen, her dream of sharing the power of plant medicine amongst the community has grown into 60 different products adorning the shelves of hundreds of health food stores nationwide. From alpine forests to wildflower prairies, you will most likely hear her laugh first, a flower in her hair, a dog or two by her side, and wonder in her heart. Her journey is one of boundless joy and a steadfast dedication to sustainable, plant-powered skin care.

Bryan is taking the month of October to shine a light on some of the fantastic female business owners that we are fortunate to work with at the Sunflower Shoppe. This week we introduce you to Cassie Green! Cassie Green-Stephens has been in the health, wellness, and food world for over 15 years. After previously spending 10 years in corporate sales and management, she opened her first business, a boutique organic grocery store in 2008 called Green Grocer Chicago. After opening a second store in 2013 in Dallas, she decided to deepen her studies of health and nutrition so she completed the Certified Health Coach program with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. While building her private health coaching practice and winding down her Dallas grocery store, she and her husband got an opportunity to purchase a very small local elderberry syrup company that they loved. After streamlining the production process and rebranding (to Cassie Green Health), Cassie began offering their small batch, clean ingredient, immune system-supportive elderberry syrup to local stores and juice bars. She and her husband sold their Chicago grocery store in 2018 to focus on their growing elderberry business. Cassie Green Health elderberry syrup is now sold in more than 300 stores nationwide as well as online!

The Road to True Grace
Bryan is taking the month of October to shine a light on some of the fantastic female business owners that we are fortunate to work with at the Sunflower Shoppe. First up, Kristina Hall, Founder of True Grace As a new mom with over 20 years of experience in the natural health industry, It was disappointing to see hundreds of products marketed toward kids that were loaded with sugar and had no mission or sustainable practices. I refused to train our children that eating healthy and getting nutrients meant consuming gummies that added up to 15 grams of sugar a day to their diets. I felt called to provide a better and easier solution to not only moms but to all people navigating through an overwhelming volume of information about health and nutrition while trying to provide the best nutrients for themselves and their families.
