Cape Girardeau, MO – Nestled in the historic downtown of Cape Girardeau, the Green Ladies Hermitage stands as a testament to the power of nature and tradition. Elyssa Glaus, the passionate owner, has transformed this urban apothecary into a haven for those seeking the finest in bulk herbs, spices, and organic skincare products. Over the past six years, Glaus’s initial focus on clean skincare has blossomed into a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, attracting a clientele dedicated to do-it-yourself solutions.
As fall casts its familiar hues, Glaus has observed a growing enthusiasm for homemade spice blends. The allure, she believes, lies in the superior quality and freshness of bulk spices compared to their store-bought counterparts.
“The essential oils remain intact, and you know the flavors will be present in your food,” she explains, underscoring the richness these premium ingredients bring to seasonal favorites like pumpkin and apple spice.

Glaus’s expertise extends beyond spices; she passionately discusses traditional beverages such as German glühwein and the festive Wassail, celebrated in caroling traditions for their warming qualities. These drinks, crafted with care, offer comfort and cheer during colder months.
“Traditional German glühwein and festive Wassail provide warmth and cheer in colder months.”
Elyssa – On Traditional Beverages
Reflecting on the deeper values of communal living, Glaus encourages a return to shared experiences. She believes that humans are inherently communal, and the act of creating and enjoying food and drink together strengthens these bonds. Her store serves not only as a retail space but as a community hub where people can find ingredients to create memorable moments with loved ones.

Elyssa – “Since we have the bulk herbs, we have the bulk spices. So all of the things that you would need if you’re wanting to make your own pumpkin spice from home or your own apple spice from home.”
