Skye Macfarlane is an #Ōtepoti - based natural health practitioner, #herbalist and Head Formulator at Wild Dispensary.

She also co-operates a BioGro-certified organic market garden and medicinal herb farm in #Otago, works in food education and regional food resilience, and serves as Research Convenor on the Naturopaths & Medical Herbalists of New Zealand board. Her work brings together herbal medicine, local growing, sustainable business and a firm belief that good health begins with stronger connections to our food, plants and communities.
In this talk, Skye will share practical, evidence-informed winter wellness tips and introduce some of the herbs traditionally used during the colder months. She’ll also take us behind the scenes at Wild Dispensary, exploring how locally grown and native medicinal plants are transformed into contemporary herbal products, and the realities of building a values-led botanical business in Otago."
