What they do
Hand-crafted [[herbalism|herbal medicine]] in the Wise Woman Tradition: fresh organic extracts, dried herbs, salves, oils, vinegars, syrups, and educational materials. Production is small-batch, fresh-plant-material, “almost all local and all organically grown or wildcrafted.” The product line favors fresh extracts (rather than dried-herb tinctures) — a Wise Woman methodology that maximizes the medicinal volatile compounds.
Founders Corinna Wood and Jessica Godino each apprenticed for a year with [[susun-weed|Susun Weed]], the herbalist who codified the Wise Woman Tradition through her Wise Woman Herbal Series (Ash Tree Publishing, 1986–present). The studio’s lineage is therefore direct: from Weed’s Catskill apprenticeship program through Wood and Godino into Appalachian production.
Why it’s listed
Three things make Red Moon directory-foundational:
-
Thirty years of continuous lineage practice. 1994 → 2026 in the same Wise Woman framework, through ownership transitions (Jeannie Dunn now), FDA regulatory waves, and the modern wellness-industry boom. That continuity is rare in herbalism.
-
Fresh-plant methodology, not bulk-dried convenience. Most apothecaries source dried bulk herbs; Red Moon’s fresh-extract focus is more labor-intensive but produces the medicinal-strength preparations the Wise Woman Tradition specifies.
-
Local materia medica. “Locally wildcrafted or naturally-grown prolific plants” — the Appalachian bioregion’s plant medicine, not generic herbal-supplement filler.
Bioregional fit
Anchors the [[blue-ridge-mountains]] bioregion’s herbalist tier — the apothecary counterpart to [[iyengar-yoga-asheville]]‘s contemplative-practice anchor. Filed under the [[asheville]] locality (Candler, where Red Moon’s production is based, is in the Asheville commercial corridor).
