:::::: Mother, Herbalist, Entrepreneur, Adventure Seeker, Dreamer ::::::::
Jovial started Urban Moonshine in her kitchen in 2008 and it has grown from a booth at the local farmers market to a national brand. Raised deep in the countryside of Northern Vermont, Jovial grew up on an off-the-grid homestead where she spent endless hours wandering in the woods, swimming in the creek, climbing trees and digging around in the garden. It was a childhood deeply immersed in plants and exploration of the wild, uncultivated power of nature. She found she had a great love of plants and herbal medicine. Her goal is to bring herbal medicine out of the cupboard and onto the counter, into everyday life.

Favorite Things: Space to think and dream, my garden, morning snuggles from my boys, travel.
Nourishment: Good conversation, my girlfriends, herbal baths, peaceful runs outside, hot soup in the winter, and cold creek swims in the summer.
