Thank you for visiting Apollo Herbs®.

Apollo Herbs®, established in 1991, is a business dedicated to the art & science of herbal medicine. By growing, harvesting, & extracting healing plants, we seek to provide the community with the highest quality herbal products available. All of our products are made in small batches using the highest quality organically grown or wild harvested plants available. Apollo Herbs® are skillfully formulated and produced by botanist and natural product chemist, Michael Steven Ford.

In addition to manufacturing excellent products, it is also our goal to provide quality herbal education to the community with the hope that those around us will live their daily lives with a deeper understanding and respect for nature, as well as use herbs to promote good health as part of a holistic lifestyle which includes a balanced, nutritious diet, frequent exercise, and proper stress management.

Apollo Herbs® is located in the heart of Rhode Island's Washington County, in a village of the town of Richmond known as Wyoming, a Native American word meaning 'vast meadows'. This is a beautiful place to harvest herbs, learn and connect with nature. The Apollo Herbs® lab, classroom and gardens, adjoin the Carolina Wildlife Management Area, 2,359-acres with a diverse wildlife population and a variety of native medicinal plants to explore.

We look forward to serving you soon.

Please email Apollo Herbs® if you have any questions.

What Other Herbalists Say about Michael Steven Ford

“I’m honored to know Michael and to have had the good fortune to work with him in many capacities over the years. I knew him first as an enthusiastic and bright young student when he attended herb classes at Sage Mountain many years ago. I watched him develop into a dedicated herbal educator and medicine maker creating his own unique line of excellent herbal products. Brilliant and multi-talented (he holds more degrees than most people could ever claim), Michael brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his herbal work as well as a deep reverence and love of the plants. And everything he touches whispers of artistic genius. He truly is a bright and unique star in the herbal community….”
Rosemary Gladstar has been practicing, living, learning, teaching and writing about herbs for over 35 years. She is the founder/director of Sage Mountain Herbal Retreat Center and Botanical Sanctuary, Founding President of United Plant Savers, and director of The International Herb Symposium and The NE Women’s Herbal Conference, and the author of nine books.

"A healer and a highly gifted artist, Michael brings his same meticulous care, precision, and sensitivity to each patient, each lecture, and each of his botanical illustrations. His products are sublime, as you would expect Apollo's to be. One of my favorites is the rose cream. When I sit in Michael's classes he inspires me by his example to be a better herbalist than I have been so far."-
Amanda McQuade Crawford, BA, M.N.I.M.H. has more than 20 years experience in clinical herbal medicine and is a founding member of the American Herbalists Guild and the founder of the National College of Phytotherapy in New Mexico.

"Michael is one of the very few American Herbalists who successfully integrates a deep respect and understanding of North American herbal traditions, with a comprehension (and respect) of the relevant sciences that can illuminate modern herbalism. This marriage of tradition with science and of heart with mind informs all his herbal offerings. In other words, products you can trust from a practitioner who knows his stuff. I wish I had teachers like Michael when I was a young herbal sprout!"-
David Hoffmann, B.Sc., F.N.I.M.H. is the author of many popular books, including The New Holistic Herbal, Medical Herbalism, An Elders Herbal, An Herbal Guide to Stress Relief, and The Elements of Herbalism.

"Michael's products have the highest integrity. His chemistry background will make a big difference in determining the best extraction methods to produce safe and potent products, and in my opinion is a big asset in today's natural products marketplace. Finally, he has demonstrated his passion for herbs and learning over the years."-
Christopher Hobbs L.Ac., A.H.G. is a fourth generation herbalist and botanist with over 30 years experience with herbs. Founder of Native Herb Custom Extracts (now Rainbow Light Custom Extracts) and the Institute for Natural Products Research. Visit www.christopherhobbs.com.
