About

We started in Salt Lake City in 2017 as a community-based publication centering herbalism and women's empowerment.
​In  our first publication submissions, we were struck by the stories of  people without access to institutional healthcare. Many people spoke of  wanting natural, sustainable and affordable remedies. We realized that  our communities needed a space to learn about herbalism and healing, so  by 2018, we converted a 40-foot bus into an herbal apothecary and  started offering herbal workshops. In 2019, we purchased a half-acre of  land in West Valley City licensed for agricultural, commercial, and  residential use where we began growing our own herbs. 
Since our  beginnings, we have continued to release our publication on a quarterly  basis, but we have expanded our vision as we strive to grow into a  cooperative business. With a bus-converted apothecary, farm land, and  the support of our community, we are excited to launch our business as a  farm-to-bus tea shop and apothecary. 
Our vision for this  tea-shop-on-wheels is that it will travel across the Salt Lake Valley  and beyond to offer healing remedies. As a cooperative, there will also  be business opportunities on the farm as it becomes a space for people  to attend private sessions, group classes, workshops, and events. With  the launch of the Mobile Moon Coop, we will continue selling our  publication in addition to teas, tinctures, salves, oils, fresh herbs,  and other herbal products. We will also sustain a monthly member program  where patrons receive a handmade selection of herbal products on a  monthly basis. 
As the practitioners of the Mobile Moon Coop, we  are working towards a business model that is collaborative. Through a  cooperative model, we imagine our products as vital community resources  and hope that our land can become a space where other healers and health  practitioners can offer their services to a growing community.  Ultimately, through the distribution of herbal products and by offering  education, we strive to aid communities and ecosystems through  education, empowerment, and botanical stewardship. 

VALUES
- We  will implement a framework of intersectionality to support individuals  who have been the most marginalized by systems of oppression. 
- We operate through mutual aid rather than charity and aim to enhance, rather than replace pre-existing community systems. 
- We  will work with and learn from the land, plants, and fungi in order to  make possible a healthier, more fulfilled way of life for everyone. 
- We  will recognize and respect indigeneity by engaging with decolonizing  practices such as acknowledging historic and present day injustices  (forced removal, genocide, displacement) on First Nation peoples and  emphasizing harmonious land relations. 
- We will welcome critical feedback because growth is a collective process.
