Apollo Herbs®
is a business dedicated to the art & science of
herbalism, aromatherapy, and natural skincare. By 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 a village of the
town of South Kingstown, RI, known as Peace Dale. Peace Dale
borders the neighboring village of Wakefield, the “commercial
center” of South Kingstown, just ten minutes from the
South County beaches. Peace Dale and the surrounding areas
are a representation of 18th and 19th century architecture
and fine craftmanship, retaining much of its charm and history
including the original Main street sidewalks, granite stone
walls, and bridges, offering character and historical presence
with many fine restaurants, small businesses and shops conveniently
located nearby.
We look forward to serving you soon.

| “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,

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."-

"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."-

of Michael's new herbal products and oh my, what a treat!
They were not only potent medicine but pleasant to the palate.
What a masterful achievement. Thank you, Michael, for raising
the bar for high quality in the herbal product world."-
