Smoke Camp Crafts

Smoke Camp Crafts is a jam, jelly, and herbal tea business founded in 1975 by Dot Montgillion, an herbalist and botanist committed to the preservation of traditional herbal recipes and remedies after her retirement from a 30-year-long career as a lab technician at the USDA Beltsville Research Center.

Sadly Dot passed away in 2015 at the age of 87. However, the business will continue to produce many of the Smoke Camp Crafts products Dot developed. A new commercial kitchen located in downtown Weston, WV has just completed construction where herbs, fruits, and vegetables grown on Dot’s farm will be processed.

Dot’s book “Modern Uses of Traditional Herbs” will continue being sold with all proceeds being put into a scholarship fund for aspiring herbalists.
