Marisha Auerbach

Marisha Auerbach is the caretaker of Wild Thyme Farm. When she isn’t found hidden behind one of the diverse and lush gardens of the farm, she might be found at a local restaurant delivering the edible flowers and specialty food crops that are found within our landscape.

Marisha graduated from the Evergreen State College with a Bachelor's of Arts in 1998. She focused on ethnobotany, ecological agriculture, and sustainability studies. She received her permaculture designer’s certification through Leisure Coast Permaculture Visions in Australia in March of 1998. Marisha will be graduating from the Australasian College of Herbal Studies with a Diploma of Herbal Studies in March of 2001.

She actively harvests many of the herbs that we grow here on the farm for use in her herbal products. These are sold as Herb’n Wisdom herbal products. Marisha can make these products by special order. Some of her products include: bath salts, lip balm, herbal pillows, bath oils, herbal vinegars, flower essences, spice and tea blends, and tinctures.
