Our Story

Founded in 2011, The Little Herb Shoppe is a woman-owned business originally rooted in the White Mountains region of Littleton, New Hampshire.

Your purchases support The Lakota Botanical & Wildlife Sanctuary, where we grow and protect endangered forest medicinal plants and wildlife on 65 sacred acres; home to rare bird, animal, and plant habitat. The sanctuary is also home to our nonprofit, The Burdock Fund.

An Update from The Little Herb Shoppe

After 15 years of serving our community from our Littleton storefront, we have transitioned to an online space where we continue to offer our small-batch Herbal Blends, Classes, Consultations and Retreats.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we made the decision to close our doors. While this chapter looks different, our mission remains the same: to provide high-quality herbal products, education, and support for your health and well-being.

We’ve shared more about this transition and you can Learn more HERE.

We are deeply grateful to our community for 15 years of support; and we look forward to continuing this work with the same integrity and commitment to herbal medicine.

Herbalist Kim Hudson

Kim Hudson began studying herbs in 1994 with a book by Juliette de Bairacli Levy, The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat. Little did she know that Juliette’s work would not only shape how she cared for animals, but would transform her own health and life.

She continued her studies with Matthew Wood, Annie McLeary, Christopher Hobbs, Rosemary Gladstar, Susun Weed, and many others. Kim regularly attends teachings and workshops, and continues to learn through her work with clients, students, and from the beloved life-affirming plants.

In 2011, Kim founded The Little Herb Shoppe, a space where people could learn about and experience the power of plant medicine.

With the founding of The Lakota Botanical & Wildlife Sanctuary in 2016, she took that vision even further, offering sacred land, where people can connect with nature, indigenous wisdom, and plant spirit healing.

Kim offers her line of organic herbal products, along with online classes, consultations, and retreats in Vermont and on Cape Cod. She loves working with others in healing, teaching, and guiding circles that support real, lasting change.

Her personal healing journey, including her mother’s experience with cancer, deepened her commitment. Earlier studies in economics led her to recognize a gap between modern systems and indigenous wisdom.

Kim teaches from a place of experience, emphasizing self-awareness and nourishment, and the understanding that healing often goes beyond symptom relief.

Whether you’re looking to add herbs to support your health, or you feel called to explore deeper layers of healing, you’re in the right place.

Kim meets you where you are, offering guidance that is practical and grounded, while holding space for the complexity of your unique path.
