Amanda Crooke is the Herbal Pharmacy teacher at David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies where she teaches clinical herbalism students to make medicinally potent preparations. She is also the owner of Locust Light Farm in NJ, where she teaches herbalism and plant magic classes both in-person and online. Amanda emphasizes deliciousness in herbal preparations and only measures ingredients when she absolutely has to. She believes that mocktails are a great way to introduce herbs to skeptical friends and family. Amanda lives right near the Delaware River with her husband, daughter, and mischievous cats. She loves crosswords, cozy mysteries, and searching for gnomes in the mossy crevices along the nearby creek.
