Honey & Hope 61 | More Than a Name -A Mission of Restoration

The Mission Behind the Brand

Honey & Hope 61 is a family-owned online Modern Cottage Apothecary — a Christ-centered herbal company devoted to crafting therapeutic teas and a one-of-a-kind Elderberry Syrup designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit.

Each blend is formulated by founder Sara Zaki, MS, RDN, DIFM, HTMA-P — a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine dietitian with over 22 years of experience — uniting faith, organic herbs, and nutritional science in every jar.

Every creation — from our signature elderberry syrup to future cottage-inspired goods — is made with purpose, purity, and a sweet story behind why we stock it on our shelves.

Sara’s own journey is one of redemption and restoration — a life of beauty born from ashes, inspired by the promise of Isaiah 61:3. Each product in our Modern Cottage Apothecary carries that same heartbeat: a reflection of God’s power to bring healing and beauty when things get interrupted.

For those with Immune Sensitivities:

Our elderberry formula is intentionally balanced for sensitive systems (though you should consult with your doctor and then test a small amount first), designed to support the body’s natural defenses, digestion, and respiratory wellness without overstimulation.

The deep crimson hue serves as a reminder of the ultimate redemption story — the Cross at Calvary, where true healing began over 2,000 years ago.

The Vision: An Old-World Cottage of Redemption

Imagine stepping into an old-world cottage where every room tells a story of restoration.

Where we’re starting in 2025 |

• The Kitchen— a space of nourishment and healing, filled with herbal remedies and natural medicine born from God’s creation.

Each space tells the same story in a different tongue: what was once broken can be made whole.

More Than a Brand — a Ministry

Even if someone never buys a thing, Honey & Hope 61 is here to share encouragement freely. Through Scripture posts, devotionals, and gentle reminders of God’s goodness, we want every visitor to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Beauty for Ashes. Sweetness for the Soul. Hope for Eternity.

Honey & Hope 61 exists to point back to Jesus — the sweetness that never spoils, the light that never fades, and the hope that never ends.
