About This Savage Mill Business
Ancestors Bosom Herbal Apothecary is a woman-owned, Black-owned herbal apothecary offering plant-based remedies rooted in ancestral wisdom and spiritual herbalism. Located in Savage Mill, the apothecary provides hand-blended loose-leaf teas, handcrafted herbal tinctures, oils, salves, and bulk dried herbs made in small batches with care and intention. Ancestors Bosom approaches wellness as a practice of remembrance—honoring the connection between spirit, mind, body, and lineage.
In addition to herbal products, the apothecary offers personalized consultations, custom herbal formulations, and spiritual and intuitive services rooted in ancestral reconnection. The space also hosts small workshops and educational gatherings that share practical, culturally grounded herbal knowledge. Designed to feel calm, welcoming, and unhurried, Ancestors Bosom invites visitors to slow down and build a meaningful relationship with plant medicine. The apothecary is deeply committed to community presence, accessibility, and long-term stewardship rather than trend-driven wellness. Ancestors Bosom serves as both a retail space and a place of learning, care, and reconnection within the Savage Mill community.

The first snowfalls came early to Savage this season, well before this Sunday`s winter solstice. Love snow or hate it, the blanket of winter white lay in vivid contrast to the crimson red of the newly-painted iconic Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge beside Savage Mill.

Last Saturday we were happy to host our second annual parranda, a Puerto Rican twist on traditional holiday caroling. Our friends with @cultura_plenera provided music, singing, and laughter for a beautiful celebration of the season. Thank you to everyone who joined us, bringing festive hats, handmade instruments, dancing, and tears of joy that made for a very special evening. ¡Feliz navidad!
We`re looking forward to another weekend of holiday festivities here at Savage Mill. Join us for a big highlight: the return of a Flash Mob Parranda on Saturday, Dec. 13, 6-7pm!
A parranda is Puerto Rico’s joyful twist on holiday caroling—filled with music, laughter, and community spirit. Traditionally held in homes, our friends with @cultura_plenera are bringing it to the heart of Savage Mill for a one-hour musical celebration you won’t want to miss.

🌟 Thank you for a beautiful Bridge Lighting! 🌟
What an incredible night at Savage Mill. Thank you to everyone who bundled up, came out, and helped us welcome the season with this cherished community tradition.
A very special thank you to @aardvarkconcepts for installing the lights so beautifully, and to @hocorec for their hard work in bringing the bridge restoration across the finish line in time for Saturday.
We were also so happy to welcome Nana from Bollman Bridge Elementary as our Cheermeister this year. She brought such joy and excitement to the countdown.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to @hocogovexec Calvin Ball. It has been an honor to light the bridge with him year after year, and we are so grateful for his continued support of this tradition and of our Savage community.
We also want to thank @visithocomd, @howardcountyeda, and @councilwomancmr Christiana Rigby for joining us and for everything they do to uplift our small businesses and our historic town.
Thank you as well to the Savage Community Association for being such an important part of this annual celebration. And a huge shoutout to Tori the Elf for leading everyone to the bridge and bringing an extra dose of holiday magic.
