What You Learn in Each Level

Start at Level 1 and move at your own pace. Each level builds on the one before. By the time you finish Level 3 your shelves are stocked and you have product on a real table.

Level 1 · Beginner

🪷 Home Herbalist

Your foundation. Plant identification, working with herbs you can find or grow, and the stories that come with each one. You will make salves, oils, and herbal preparations, build your home apothecary and your first journal, and learn how to use herbs confidently for yourself and your family.

Virtual: $147 In-Person: $280 · $75/class
Level 2 · Intermediate

🌿 Apothecary

Three sessions that take you deeper into medicine making. Salves with a master batch oil, syrups and honeys, and a Saturday wildcrafting experience with a field instructor. Plant walks in a Texas wild place, ethical harvest, and a hands-on oil infusion that doubles as your graduation. By the end of Level 2 your apothecary shelves are stocked and you have worked the land with your own hands.

Virtual: $167 In-Person: $300 · $80/class
Level 3 · Advanced · In-Person Only

🔥 Medicine Maker

The full medicine maker journey. Five sessions covering fire cider, the Fire Cider lawsuit and the history that protects herbalists' right to make and sell, business and product fundamentals, a build day where you make products for both your Home Apothecary Pathway and your Business Pathway, a live vending day at a local farmers market, and your Apothecary Council induction. Includes one-on-one time with me throughout. You walk out a Medicine Maker with product on a real table.

In-Person: $350 · $90/class

2027 Cohort FAQ

What does enrollment look like right now?

Enrollment for the 2027 in-person cohort is open. Only 10 in-person seats. Three payment options: the Advanced Track ($1,795 with code JCCELEBRATESYOU) for L1 + L2 graduates who want L3 plus a launched apothecary website; the Full Cohort Bundle ($880 with code JCBIRTHDAY) for new students taking all three levels; or the $100 biweekly payment plan (9 payments of $100 + a final $30 = $930 total). Birthday codes end September 14 at 11:59 PM CDT. Once all 10 seats are filled, enrollment closes and a waitlist opens for the 2028 cohort.

Do I have to take all three levels?

Yes for sequence, no for commitment. The path is sequential: Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3, with no skipping. But you do not have to enroll in all of them at once. You can enroll in Level 1 now and decide on Level 2 and Level 3 later. Just know that seats and 2026 pricing are honored on a first-come basis. Once the 10 in-person seats fill, remaining students go on the 2028 waitlist.

How does the payment plan work?

The payment plan is a Square subscription: $100 every two weeks for 9 payments, then a final $30 payment ($930 total for the Full Cohort Bundle). Your first $100 counts as your non-refundable seat deposit and holds your spot. All payments must complete before Level 1 begins April 6, 2027. Amounts paid beyond the first $100 are non-refundable as cash but transferable as MCC or EBTG credit within 12 months (does not apply to apothecary products).

What is the difference between virtual and in-person?

Virtual classes are self-paced. You watch the lessons, do the work in your own kitchen, and submit your assignments on your own time. In-person classes meet at our Houston classroom, with hands-on building, group work, and field experiences. Level 3 is in-person only because the medicine making, the live market vending day, and the Apothecary Council induction cannot be done through a screen.

Are current students charged again?

No. If you have already completed a level with us, you do not need to re-enroll in it. The 2027 cohort is the next round for students moving up to their next level, plus new students entering at Level 1.

How many seats are in the cohort?

Ten total in-person seats for the 2027 cohort. Once those 10 fill, enrollment closes and a waitlist opens for the 2028 cohort. Virtual classes are not seat-limited.

Can I pay for one level at a time?

Yes. Pay each level when you are ready to start it. The bundle prices only apply if you pay for everything up front.

What if I am not in Houston?

Virtual options for Levels 1 and 2 work from anywhere. For Level 3 you would need to travel to Houston, since that level is in-person only.

When do classes actually start?

Level 1 In-Person begins Tuesday, April 6, 2027. Level 3 In-Person begins Tuesday, June 1, 2027. Level 2 In-Person dates are announced once Level 1 closes. Virtual levels are self-paced and start whenever you do.
