✨ Vendor Spotlight: Root & Earth ✨

This week we’re highlighting Root & Earth, a small-batch apothecary and mushroom farm dedicated to crafting high-quality plant and mushroom remedies right here in Western North Carolina.

Founded by herbalist and functional nutrition practitioner Leslie and lifelong naturalist and certified wild mushroom forager Buddy, Root & Earth combines traditional herbal wisdom with deep knowledge of fungi and the natural world. Their tinctures are made with organically grown and sustainably wild-harvested ingredients, while their medicinal mushroom extracts use only the fruiting bodies of mushrooms and are carefully prepared using traditional dual-extraction methods.

At Ecusta Market, you’ll find a wide selection of their offerings, including Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Women’s Balance, Allergy Relief, Deep Sleep, and more.

Root & Earth’s mission is simple: reconnect people to the wisdom of plants, fungi, and the natural world while putting the power of wellness back into the hands of the community.

We’re grateful to have Root & Earth on our shelves and honored that they’ve trusted us to help share their story. One of the best parts of what we do is connecting our community with passionate makers like Leslie and Buddy, and we’re proud to help bring their incredible work to more people.

Stop by and explore the collection next time you’re in the market.

Last month Friends of Ecusta Trail hosted PAL: Play Advocate Live Well for a tour of the trail!

As a key partner in the Saluda Grade Trail Project, PAL is doing incredible work to improve health and wellness across Spartanburg County.

During their visit, staff and board members explored Lennox Station, walked and biked portions of the Ecusta Trail, and connected with our team, board members, and partners like Ecusta Market and Cafe . Together, we shared insights on trail development, economic impact, and lessons learned along the way.

We’re inspired by the momentum behind the Saluda Grade Trail and are proud to support and cheer on another transformative rail trail project in our region!
