Meet the Village

Three generations. One promise: real herbs, straight answers, and a place that gives back.

Come on in. Sit down. Before you buy a single thing, you ought to know who you're dealing with. This isn't a company with a face slapped on it. This is a family — the people this whole thing is named for, and the people building it.

Dr. Village — Founder, host, herbal practitioner

I'm Dr. Village. I'm the voice you hear, the hands in the herbs, and the one who will tell you straight when something isn't for you. African and Caribbean bush medicine is what I was raised in — not something I read about last week. I teach, I ask questions, and I keep it plain: real plants, straight answers, no fairy tales.

Norene — The namesake

Norene's Village is named after my oldest daughter, Norene — who was named after my grandmother, Norene. My grandmother fed a whole village of people in Camden County, gave them clothes and money and knowledge, and never once made it about herself. My daughter carries that same giving heart — she's in nursing school right now because helping people is simply who she is. She is why this business exists. Norene also runs her own separate business, Norene's Lab.

Aunt Tammy — The World Traveler

Then there's Aunt Tammy — The World Traveler. Passport. Camera. Action. She goes out into the world, gathers ideas and experiences, and brings them home to help shape what Norene's Village becomes. She runs travel and booking for the Village — when you're ready to go somewhere, she's your door.

Chef Jordan — Chef Jordan's Table

Chef Jordan is Dr. Village's husband. His Table is weekly restaurant and food reviews from the road — and yes, he cooks, too. Pull up a chair.

Our Sales Team

Questions before you buy? Our sales representatives work by text, email, social, and live — ask for them by name:

Erica — Midwest farm culture, down-to-earth and business-sharp. She'll help you find what fits.
Jose — our Spanish-language representative, an athlete's energy with a salesman's follow-through. Se habla español.
Felix — herbs and Caribbean culture, the old way. If it's bush tea knowledge you want, Felix is your man.
Chinaman — Jamaican Chinese remedies and herbs, a tradition all its own.

Norene's Village will be an herbal farm stay in Northeast Florida — herbs, no animals, cottages to stay in, weddings, time to rest. Coming 2027. The Farmacy is the piece you can shop today, and every purchase helps build the place. Stay rooted.
