Made my annual trip to the Eastern Shore of Maryland last week and, as usual, my first stop was Herb 'n Craft. I have been visiting Fran's farm for at least 15 years and have never been disappointed in her products. They perform as she says they do. This is a long review but one that I hope will be helpful to anyone interested in quality organic products made by someone who is a fountain of knowledge and who genuinely cares about her customers. My most frequent go-to products are:* Nerve/Joint/Muscle Pain Relief (roller ball). I started using it for sciatica but found it has many other uses including relieving neuropathy pain. After getting two injections from my podiatrist, going to physical therapy for six weeks and consulting orthopedics about the pain, it dawned on me that I should give Fran's remedy a try. While not a cure, applying the Nerve/Joint/Muscle Pain Relief to the nerves on top of my foot, I can be pain free for hours or for days --- no idea why the variance. * Hello My Aloe Plus. I use this product for a myriad of skin problems. Most recently, I found it solved the irritation created by my bra. I had numerous tiny painful sores. After about three weeks, all the sores were gone. A tiny bit goes a long way in relieving cracked, dry skin around my fingernails, itching from hives or any other skin irritation, and moisturizing my face. I absolutely love the many uses I have found for this product.* Skin Tag Removal Soap. The small skin tags on my neck disappear. The larger skin tags are smoothed to the point that they are not noticeable. Maybe they are something other than skin tags; regardless, I am pleased with the results.I always stock up on the wonderful handcrafted scented soaps, including Bug Away. And, every time I visit, she has new products to try. This time, I picked up the Nerve/Joint/Muscle Pain Relief rub. It would be better for Fran to explain the difference between the rub and the roller ball, but the rub does not require one to wait for the product to dry. Rub it in and be on your way was the appeal for me. I am also trying the Madagascar Vanilla Bean in vodka extract - alcohol disappears in heated food. Looking forward to my next visit and following Fran on Facebook. I highly recommend anyone interested in a natural path to life give Fran's products a try. You can find out more about Herb 'n Craft on the FB page.

We have been to see Fran for several years for herbs and plants. They are always the healthiest and sturdiest in my garden. Fran is so knowledgeable and willing to share tips on herb usage. She introduced me to Lemon balm which is a new staple for tea in our house.

Fran’s business and lifestyle are a testament to power and value of natural remedies and the joy that comes with living close to, and in sync with, the natural world. Fran is a wealth of information on healthy natural remedies to treat virtually every ailment. She lives on a property that provides healthy happy homes to various domesticated water fowl and chickens, and is also home to many species of wildlife. I highly recommend visiting her.

I found out about Herb and Craft about 18 years ago. My mom had a health food store and started selling their homemade ulums rubra. My daughter had severe eczema and was prone to skin rash. She had a large growth that the pediatrician was going to remove surgically. I went to my moms store upset, trying to figure what to do.Fran happened to be there that day telling her about the ulums rubra and its healing properties. I decided to give it a try. It was amazing. I have been using it now for years. I bought a bunch of containers from my moms store ands we used it on every cut, scrape, burn, sun burn and so much more. I moved to Florida for a short time and had Fran ship it to me down there. It is truly an amazing product.

I’ve traveled coast to coast and found this place with the most! The mostest, bestest, freshest, all-organic everything! I wish AH Herb ‘n Craft was near me in all my travels, because there’s just no other place like it on the planet where you can get these kinds of delicious healthy all natural food stuffs and other goods.Today; among some of the items I bought were a couple of Fran’s fresh made probiotic Super Salads, several probiotic frozen soups and half a dozen of the largest supper jumbo sized duck eggs I’ve ever seen. I’m still enjoying a healthy sized quantity of fresh made hummus and whipped Taramasa Lata Pink Caviar, both of which can be enjoyed on celery, a cracker, or even as a stand alone with nothing else at all.I loved seeing the baby ducklings today, which will soon enough be outside doing their thing of turning fresh greens into super healthy alkaline eggs and yummy stews. She’s working on several herbal tinctures and other homeopathies; but these things take time. So, I’ll be back!Everyone should check out Almost Heaven Herb ‘n Craft.

I visited today for the first time and it did not disappoint. There is so much more than just things to buy, Efrossini has so much knowledge and is so willing to share her knowledge. Today I bought the woman’s brew tea and the nerve, joint, muscle and pain relief rub. I’m so happy to add ingredients I can trust to my apothecary. The prices can’t be beat for the quality of what you’re purchasing. I plan to visit again very soon.

I visit Herb 'n Craft every time my husband and I visit family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We trust Fran's products and must say that they work just as she claims. I have used the Even Complexion and Skin Tag Removal soap for over ten years and can honestly say that it works for me. I also use many other soaps, skin care and cleaning products. On our trip in June 2022, we discovered a new product she has created: Nerve/Joint/Muscle Pain Relief. I am anxious to start using it when I return home. Thank you, Fran. I hope you continue with your craft for many years to come.

The only place I know where I can get most of these organic products. We buy her organic cleaner by the gallon. We dilute it and use it to clean our house. Her organic cleanser is great for the bathroom. No harsh chemicals, just effective cleaning, and it smells clean! Organic arthritis lotion and her organic scar rescue are wonderful products. You won't find organic eggs like these in any market. Advice like Fran offers is hard to find. Whenever we pass through Eastern Maryland, we call ahead for an appointment. I wish we lived closer, but I'm grateful we found Fran's Herb 'n Craft Farm.

This place is a gold mine. Reasonable prices for products in a league of their own. Hand made versions of anything you can think of. Healing salves from this farm have a spirit! You can't get it anywhere else.

Many wonderful things to discover in the hidden little trove right off Ocean Gateway. Definitely worth stopping by. Fran is a wealth of information, and makes everything herself. I love hearing her stories-and she's written several books.

Called early in the week to inquire about the place.She said hours depend on if gate is open. Hours say they close at 7 on google search so stopped by at 6:30 to look around. Gate was open. I didnt know what type of place it was or the layout. Saw it was a house with a few farm structures, sheds, and maybe nurseries around it. Called the number to announce myself and she acted like it was odd that I came because its dark and she doesn't know me and even laughed at me for thinking it was normal. I'm a woman so I understand safety but maybe better communication about hours combined with consistency, along with closing the gate if that's what you're telling people to go by would be good. Also not laughing at them for thinking it was alright to look at products. I was ready to spend money too. :(

The AH HERB' N CRAFT FARM is an awesome place. Just like the name says, AH, almost heaven. Fresh and natural everything and customer service like no other near or distant.Fran does a great job maintaining the farm and store mostly by herself. And has done for years from growing some good crops to raising fowl to other animals.Missing a visit to her premises is denying yourself a truly wonderful shopping experience. Her soaps are my favorite. She makes them from pure and natural ingredients and you can quickly tell how healing they are after the first use. And the prices for everything she sells are wonderful.If you have some health issues needing a tune up, she might also be able to help you. Her health and wellness consulting program is unique, wholesome and very effective.Fran also ships all her products to wherever you might be. And the aromas you receive when you open the box will refresh all your senses and your room for quite awhile.The AH HERB' N CRAFT FARM is a great value, except Monday when she is closed.Take a little of your time. Just make a stop there and visit. You won’t regret it.
