This month, we're proud to spotlight The Herbology Fairy Apothecary, a Knightdale-based business owned by Satirrah Forbes that is dedicated to providing affordable, all-natural skincare, aromatherapy, and herbal wellness products. Inspired by her family's need for safe, toxin-free alternatives, Satirrah transformed her passion for natural wellness into a growing business that serves customers online, at local markets, and through pop-up events. By offering products free of toxins and harmful chemicals at accessible price points, The Herbology Fairy Apothecary is making natural wellness available to more families throughout the community.
A Knightdale resident since 2015, Satirrah says the town's welcoming, small-town atmosphere made it the perfect place to put down roots, raise a family, and grow a business. Looking ahead, customers can take advantage of an upcoming Black Friday sale and watch for several new product launches in early 2027, including all-natural cleaning sprays and room and linen sprays. With strong community support and a growing customer base, Satirrah's long-term vision is to open a storefront right here in Knightdale, creating an immersive shopping experience centered around natural wellness. As she puts it, "Being part of the Knightdale community feels like family. I'm so grateful to be part of a community that collaborates, connects, and genuinely supports one another."
