Tina Sams & Maryanne Schwartz
Sisters Maryanne Schwartz & Tina Sams have been working together in various herbal pursuits for over 30 years, beginning with a herb shop inside the PA Renaissance Faire, then expanding to a shop in the “real world.” There they learned to make soap and developed a popular local newsletter. In 2000, the shop was sold and Maryanne started Lancaster County Soapworks, Etc. She and Tina started The Essential Herbal magazine a year later.
They continue to work together, helping in each other’s businesses. Over the years, Maryanne also became a skilled lampwork glass artist and learned layout and composition for the magazine. Tina has written several books on herbs and can wrap a bar of soap with her eyes closed. Together, they learned distilling, and most recently eco-printing and dyeing with plants.
