🍃NEW LAUNCH - HERBAL MUTUAL AID APOTHECARY🍃
As many know, for years, The Honeycomb Network held space through a community apothecary in Humboldt Park up until summer 2025.
After moving from the physical location we thought deeply about how to transition the offerings in order to continue providing the care to our community. Today, that work is taking a new form.
We are honored to launch the Community Herbal Mutual Aid Apothecary, which is a healing justice initiative connecting Chicago (Humboldt Park, Englewood), and Puerto Rico through herbal medicine, mutual aid, land stewardship, and collective care.
Together with Patchwork Farms + Sistas in the Village, as well as land stewards, grassroots partners, volunteers,and neighbors, we are creating free seasonal herbal care packs, community medicine-making gatherings, and a sustainable model of accessible herbal care rooted in reciprocity and solidarity.
This summer, our pilot aims to:
🌿 Create 100 Community Herbal Care Packs
🌿 Support 4 neighborhood distribution sites
🌿 Host community medicine-making gatherings
🌿 Raise funds to support two seasons of herbal mutual aid care
🌿 Lay the foundation for a future mobile herbal clinic and community herbal care collective
Our communities have always carried knowledge, remedies, skills, and traditions that helped us survive and thrive. This initiative honors those traditions while building new possibilities for collective wellbeing.
As we transition into a Chicago ↔ Puerto Rico model, we are intentionally cross-pollinating relationships, plants, stories, and healing practices across communities.
