Hurricane Helene Update

On September 27th 2024 at around 8AM, the surge from Helene came through Bakersville and damaged our farm and home beyond repair. The home itself was flooded and made uninhabitable, the grow room and contents were damaged beyond recovery, all of our trees, crops, and outbuildings washed away, and all of our land was covered in a 2 foot layer of toxic, fuel and waste-laden mud.

We have relocated to Forest City and are slowly rebuilding the business a bit at a time. Please follow Forest City Fungi on Facebook and we’ll keep you updated as products become available. If you have an urgent need, please reach out.

Unfortunately we are not accepting appointments/bookings at this time.

 

Welcome to Roan Shadow Botanicals. We work nestled beneath the Roan, farming, foraging, and formulating the best medicines the Earth can offer. Matt has classic Herbalist training, but is also experienced in mushroom medicine and spagyric alchemy, as well as in the use of animal medicine (such as propolis), and crystals & minerals. We also offer Reiki, mushroom and gem/mineral essences, aromatherapy, and more.

The majority of our medicines contain ingredients that are local to western North Carolina. While we do get a few items from other small farmers & foragers, the majority come from our no-spray, no-till farm or from the forests we hike, or our on-site lab. We believe the source of and the energy behind your medicine are of the utmost importance and we can tell you the exact source of and path that your medicine took to get to you. We also believe your medicines should be as natural as possible – simple tinctures, teas, powders, etc. The more you remove from a natural medicine, the less effective it will be. Nature has always been our best healer.

We specialize in working with the stronger medicines, some of which are considered “controversial.”
(PLEASE NOTE: we do not offer, recommend, or facilitate the use of any illegal substances. Please do not ask.)
