I started OG Labs to study how people traditionally healed and cooked across cultures, and that work has grown into something I deeply believe in. Over nearly a year, I have documented close to 2,000 herbs while researching traditional healing practices and building healing protocols, traditional culinary pieces, and remedies rooted in the old ways.

At this point, I feel like I am sitting on everything needed to move forward. The recipes are written, and some of my work has already been tested and showed better results than I could have dreamed. What is holding me back now is not the vision or the effort, but the resources needed to take the next steps and bring this work to more people.

Support for this fundraiser will help with:

• ingredient acquisition, including rare herbs that can be costly to source
• testing and documenting products and their volumetrics
• building inventory to prepare remedies and fulfill orders
• equipment to support the company
• licenses and, eventually, a commercial kitchen

Some of these remedies require ingredients from around the world, and certain recipes can cost more than $200 to make. With more than a dozen remedy recipes alone, that becomes a major investment. This support would help me source what I need, continue testing and documenting the products, and build a stockpile so wait times can eventually become much shorter.

I have reached a personal tipping point and exhausted my other options. Starting a company without prior experience has been confusing at times, but the desire to serve others and create remedies and culinary pieces that can truly help people is what keeps me going. I am asking for help because I do not want pride to keep this work from reaching the people it could serve.

If this mission speaks to you, any donation or share would mean a great deal. Your support will help me take these next steps for OG Labs and move this work from research into something I can offer more fully to others.
