Abstract

This community service program aimed to empower the Women Farmers’ Group (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT) in Potronayan Village, Boyolali, through the cultivation and processing of Family Medicinal Plants (Tanaman Obat Keluarga/TOGA) based on a creative economy approach. The program was implemented through participatory, educational, and innovative methods involving training, mentoring, and direct practice. The activities focused on improving TOGA cultivation and diversification, developing processed products, strengthening simple business management, and improving product branding and marketing. The results showed that the KWT was able to cultivate seven types of TOGA, with 95% of members participating in the training activities. The program also produced three value-added TOGA products, namely herbal tea bags, instant herbal powder, and dried simplicia, marketed under the brand “Berkah TOGA.” In addition, improvements were achieved in financial administration, organizational management, packaging, and product branding. These activities demonstrate that TOGA can be developed not only as a source of family health but also as a potential resource for strengthening community-based creative economic activities. The integration of cultivation, processing, management, and marketing provides a foundation for sustainable empowerment and increased utilization of local resources in Potronayan Village.
