Mountain Top Apothecary grew out of our passion for using herbs and flowers from our small five-acre homestead farm to help promote health and stave off illness. We soon began to share our homemade products with loved ones, and the feedback we received on the quality and effectiveness of our teas, balms, tinctures, and salves drove us to creating an online shop available to anyone. We only make products that we have used ourselves and have found to make a meaningful difference in our lives. We guarantee all our products and to ensure customer satisfaction.

All the herbs and flowers used in our homemade products are organically raised. While most of our ingredients are grown by hand by us and then hand harvested and dried, not all the medicinal herbs we need grow in the New York climate. You will notice that these ingredients, like cinnamon, are marked as such in our labeling.

We offer these wellness products as a labor of love, to help people live more comfortable and fulfilling lives. Nature has amazing healing properties, and we hope that you will find time to enjoy the outdoors and fresh air as you use our products. We offer local delivery and pickup to those residents of Warwick, New York. Otherwise, all items purchased on our site will be shipped to your door.

Mountain Top Apothecary is run by the husband and wife duo: Dave Ventresca and Ariel Sykes. Beyond working in their gardens, they enjoy their other passions of woodworking (check out mountaintopboards.com) and teaching within the field of philosophy for children and ethics education (check out Ariel’s resume here).
