We’re a small, family-run business founded by Russ & Shari Apotheker in Boston, MA. We started with a dream to share our passion for simple, healthy living through handcrafted products made from all-natural ingredients. Thanks to you, our vision has become a reality and we’re working tirelessly to bring you more of our small batch goods. As husband & wife, two artists, and dreamers of a simpler lifestyle, we continue to inspire each other to make all of our own goods by hand. Endlessly tinkering in the kitchen, we make homemade herbal remedies, wholesome foods, teas, salves and more. We hope to settle down on a farm one day, slow down our lives and bring things back to the basics. Though we strive to eat cleaner, we also believe that food is for enjoying. Russ made the first batch of chocolate for Shari with that in mind and we strive to offer you indulgences you can also feel good about, too. We source only single origin Dominican cacao that is directly traded, organic & kosher certified.Our bars are sweetened with raw tupelo honey from a small apiary that never treats their bees with antibiotics or chemicals of any kind. Our one-of-a-kind pillowy, soft marshmallows are sweetened only with pure colorado clover honey free of chemicals & antibiotics, sourced from a 5th generation beekeeper. Other simple ingredients include kosher & grass-fed gelatin, an aid for healthy skin, hair, nails and joints; and organic marshmallow root, an herb used since antiquity for soothing throats and aiding in digestion.
