Why Franny Tacy Chose Plants Over Pills

A Journey Rooted in Nature, Grown in Truth

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the world of wellness—and Franny Tacy, founder of Franny’s Farmacy, is one of its fiercest, most heartfelt voices.

Franny’s story didn’t begin on a farm or in a greenhouse. It began in big pharma.

“I worked in pharmaceuticals for over a decade,” Franny says. “And I learned a lot—enough to know it wasn’t the path I was meant to stay on.”

That awakening became her pivot point. A moment of clarity that led to a complete life shift—from prescribing pills to planting seeds.

The Truth Behind the Pills: Nature Was Always There

Many modern medications are derived from natural compounds: plants, fungi, and herbs that have been used for generations. But somewhere along the way, the system shifted—away from whole-plant healing and toward synthetic solutions, often with side effects that outweighed the benefits.

Franny recognized that disconnect.

“So many pharmaceuticals trace back to nature. But we’ve lost the connection. We’ve lost the reverence,” she reflects.

From Classroom to Corporate to Cultivator

Franny didn’t just change careers. She changed everything. She traded boardrooms for barn boots, and formulas for flowers—launching Franny’s Farm, then Franny’s Farmacy, and eventually becoming the first female hemp farmer in North Carolina in over 75 years.

Now, she leads a movement built on plants, purpose, and people.

Why “Plants Over Pills” Isn’t Just a Motto—It’s a Mission

At Franny’s Farmacy, every product, event, and conversation is rooted in the belief that the Earth already gives us what we need to heal.

Whether it’s CBD for stress relief, herbal teas for energetic alignment, or THCa flower for natural balance, Franny’s team cultivates wellness from the soil up.

“If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a more natural path, you’re not alone,” Franny says. “This is a safe place to begin that journey.”
