Red Clover Herbal Apothecary was founded by Nancy Graden in 2011. Nancy received a degree in Western Clinic Herbalism from Minneapolis Community College and created her blends and products with this basis of knowledge and practice.

Nancy’s legacy continues on with Kass McKinnon. Kass worked with Nancy to transition the business in 2026 as the new owner. The same quality and recipes continue under their stewardship of the farm and apothecary. 

Kass began her farming experience in western Nebraska in Biodynamic farming methods at Meadow Lark Hearth. While there she obtained a degree from Chadron State College in Range-land management. She co-founded Cultivating the Commons in 2019, an organic seed company. Kass began as a self taught herbalist, stewarding many of the plants for home use as well as for seed saving. In 2018 Kass was hired by Uriel Pharmacy in East Troy, WI, as their herbalist farmer. She made all the tinctures for the company and learned necessary skills for running Red Clover today.

She has lived and farmed in Amery, WI for 5 years now with Whetstone Farm, rotationally grazing sheep and cattle, assisting in gardens and homeschooling children. She is so grateful to return to the apothecary, harvesting herbs and creating medicines that improve peoples health and lives. “It is an honor to carry on the Red Clover tradition. I have learned so much from Nancy. Working with herbs and creating medicine for our community is a labor of love.”
