Yard-grown Medicinal Plants (TOGA) are beneficial plants grown by people in their yards. Kotes Village, Gandusari District in Blitar Regency, East Java Province is one of the TOGA producer areas in Indonesia. The great opportunity to develop processed food and beverages from TOGA has not been matched by the people’s skills and knowledge in food processing. Herbal leather and drinks are produced from a simple process applied at Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) member of BUMDes Manunggal Abadi. The simple production process causes this product to be expected to be produced on a household scale. The objectives of this community service program include diversification of processed TOGA products, increasing partner knowledge about the principles of sterilization and aseptic packaging, and producing new herbal (TOGA) products. The method used is Participatory Action Research (RAP) with activities carried out in this program include discussions with partners for product development plans, training on herbal leather products, training on packaging TOGA herbal drinks, and training on small middle enterprise good manufacturing practices. From the results, it was found that KWT could practice the production of herbal leather from preparation until product packaging. In addition, KWT can also understand and practice how to package herbal drinks in cup packaging as a variation of new products produced by KWT.
