Oakenville Essence & Farm: Natural health, earth-connection & community-based knowledge sharing.

Oakenville Farm is a 1km stroll from the heart of Nundle Village towards the high country of Hanging Rock. The 5 acre property is slowly being transformed into an off-grid farm and hosts a pilates studio, infrared sauna, accommodation and is a venue for regular workshops.

Oakenville Essence Apothecary (formerly Oakenville Farm Store) is our shop-front, located beside the Nundle Post Office. Our shop is now closed as a retail space, but you can purchase many of our products such as herbal remedies and skincare, wild-foraged herbal teas, soaps, seasonal produce and preserves at local markets and online. The Apothecary is still open for consultations with Rachel, a qualified Western Herbal Medicine Practitioner.

Oakenville Essence Apothecary Opening Hours: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday by booking.

Customer Reviews

"I was gifted this beeswax mixture to use on my newborn, and wow its incredible. My 4 week old had some awful nappy rash and burnt bottom. After one application you could see the difference. Such a gentle cream that goes a long way. Highly recommend trying this product." Rebekah
