Dragon Hemp Apothecary, opening over Memorial Day Weekend in Sag Harbor, will feature artisan-crafted, therapeutic products including New York State-grown organic Full Spectrum hemp CBD extracts, premium Chinese herbs, and organic botanicals formulated to enhance performance, recovery, and overall wellness.


The storefront will showcase products from Dragon Hemp, a new local brand that fuses traditional and modern plant medicine rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and practitioner-formulated by local Sag Harbor-based Sports Medicine Acupuncturist, Kevin Menard, LAc.

The store is designed by Alfredo Paredes, former Chief Creative Officer at Ralph Lauren. The design concept is modern apothecary meets vintage Chinese herbal pharmacy that will showcase a variety of the herbs and botanicals used in the formulas.


The shop will serve as an experiential and educational venue for customers to learn more about the health benefits of cannabinoids and the healing power of Chinese herbs and botanicals. It will feature weekly programming and events from local practitioners and individuals in the healing arts (both Western and alternative) and demonstrations on DIY herbal formulations.

Our Apothecary.

Our Apothecary in Sag Harbor, New York was conceived as a beacon of rejuvenation and wellness in the Hamptons.

Designed in collaboration with renowned Alfredo Paredes Studio, the apothecary embodies a sophisticated fusion of old-world tradition and contemporary application. Known for his 33-year tenure as Ralph Lauren Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Alfredo Paredes, a master of crafting memorable retail experiences, helped transform the space into a shining gem of Sag Harbor. Reflecting the premium, natural, and therapeutic essence of Dragon Hemp, every aspect of the store, including the unique furniture pieces from Paredes' line, contributes to an ambiance of refined tranquility and wellness.
