Rooted in Tradition
What began as one family's passion for herbal wisdom and natural living has grown into a beloved festival tradition and herbal emporium.
Since 2014, Shannon and Larry Holliday have handcrafted teas, remedies, incense, and botanical treasures inspired by time-honored practices and a deep respect for the healing power of plants. From the Texas Renaissance Festival to Sherwood Forest Faire and beyond, Father Thyme Herbals has become a gathering place for those seeking a little more magic, intention, and connection with nature.
Every product is made with care, using premium ingredients and a commitment to quality that reflects the values of the Holliday family.
Whether you've visited our festival tent for years or are discovering us for the first time, we're glad you're here.
