About Verity Herbs & Wellness
Rooted in the heart of Erie, Pennsylvania, Verity Herbs & Wellness is more than just an herbal store—it's a community space where plant wisdom, earth-centered living, and local artistry come together. As a clinical herbalist, I’ve built this space to reflect my deep belief in the power of plants to support our bodies, minds, and spirits—and to make that wisdom accessible to all who seek it.
Our apothecary features a thoughtfully curated selection of over 150 bulk herbs, all ethically sourced, most from American organic herb farmers who share our respect for sustainability and quality. I personally formulate every tea and extract blend we offer, combining clinical knowledge with energetic intention to support real people and real healing.
But Verity Herbs is also a celebration of local talent and handmade beauty. We carry an ever-changing collection of regionally made goods, including organic body care products, small-batch pottery, hand-crafted jewelry, and meaningful gifts—all created by artisans who share our love for the natural world.
My vision is to grow Verity Herbs into a true herbal hub for Erie: a place to learn, connect, and find support through herbal education, high-quality remedies, and soulful community. Whether you’re just beginning your herbal journey or you’ve been walking this path for years, you are warmly welcome here.
About
Kristy Baird
Clinical Herbalist
I'm a clinical herbalist based in Erie, PA. I've been passionate about plants my whole life, and my work is all about helping people connect to the healing power of nature.
I grew up close to the water and in the diverse forests around Erie, and I've been growing medicinal plants for over a decade. I'm a graduate of the Sovereignty Herbs clinical mentorship program, and I'm currently an Associate Member of the American Herbalist's Guild. For more information about my educational background, click here for my CV. I also choose to support United Plant Savers, who work to protect native medicinal plants, and Herbalists Without Borders, whose mission is accessibility.
I believe that a human being is more than just their symptoms. My work with clients is to study the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and find their clear vision for the future. I bring to the table a rooted perspective and a wealth of resources to connect you to your own path to wellness and to our Earth.
