About​
​
Medicines From The Land (MFTL) is run by Hunter Cascagnette a nonbinary, trans, multidisciplinary artist and herbal medicine practitioner of mixed French, Scottish, English settler and Georgian Bay Métis ancestry based on Mnidoo Mnising, Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
​
Hunter does various aspects of hide tanning, growing, harvesting, medicine making and antler work for the business with their hound dog Bucky / Bashkwegin.
Hunter is trained in western clinical herbalism. Their herbal care is rooted in forever deepening relationships and reciprocity with plant medicines and ancestors.
​
MFTL herbal products are made from homegrown and sustainably wild crafted plants harvested according to the health of local ecosystems. Other than the odd variety, MFTL does not outsource plants. Herbal products are made with seasonal plants harvested by Hunter to offer you potent, local herbal medicines made in relationship.
​
The antler jewelry pieces are cut, sanded, buffed, drilled and assembled carefully by hand. Antler is naturally shed and locally sourced.
​
Deer and moose hides are traditionally brain/ smoke tanned to create beautiful smoked suede/ buckskin that can be made into garments like moccasins, mitts, earrings, wallets, bags, etc.
​
Medicines From The Land offers workshops in traditional deer and moose hide tanning and herbal medicine. Email to inquire.
​
Hunter loves working on all the stages that go into bringing you Medicines From The Land's unique, handmade and authentic offerings.
Thank you for your support! It means so much!
