Putting the Farm Back in Farmacy
The woman behind the brand
North Carolina’s First Female Hemp Farmer
Founder and CEO of Franny's Farmacy, Franny Tacy, was raised with farming in her blood. Growing up in Nashville, TN, she learned firsthand the values of hard work, stewardship, and resilience from her cattle-farming father and her trailblazing banking executive mother. These early influences planted the seeds of her lifelong passion for plant medicine, sustainability, and regenerative agriculture.
Franny’s journey took her from Tennessee to Arizona, where she studied forestry at Northern Arizona University and lived communally on a farm with gardens, animals, and a deepening connection to the land. She later earned a master’s in education from Tennessee State University and went on to lead a successful 12-year career in pharmaceutical sales. But her growing disillusionment with what she calls the “unhealthcare system” prompted a radical shift—from Pharma to Farm.
In 2012, Franny returned to the soil, purchasing raw land in Leicester, NC, and launching Franny’s Farm, now the beating heart of what would become Franny’s Farmacy. By 2017, she had unknowingly made history as the first woman in North Carolina to legally plant hemp in over 75 years.
Leading the Movement—From the Farm to the Front Lines
Today, Franny’s work goes far beyond the fence lines of her farm. She’s a nationally recognized advocate for cannabis reform, working closely with lawmakers, fellow entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to shape a more transparent, ethical, and sustainable hemp industry. Whether she’s speaking at legislative hearings, hosting educational events, or mentoring other cannabis business owners, Franny is constantly pushing boundaries and rewriting the rules.
Though the farm remains the heart and soul of Franny’s Farmacy, the mission has evolved. What began as a local wellness effort has grown into a movement rooted in community, plant wisdom, and real change—all led by a woman who’s unafraid to get her hands dirty and her voice heard.
