We are proud to be a very small and local herb purveying company. We view our small, Ma and Pa status as a huge and unique advantage of stepping away from the mass production methods of large herb and spice companies. We take much pride in purveying only the finest products of our organic cooperative growers' latest crops. Our member-owned growers co-op is an affiliation of certified organic growers, wild harvest gatherers, and worldwide fair trade family farms. All of our currently available botanicals and those of other co-op growers are small-batched and from the current year's harvest, slowly air-dried to maintain an uncompromising array of their natural aroma, vitamin, mineral and homeopathic constituents. Cut, sifted, blended, and manually packaged just days prior to introduction into our small private marketplace. This small batching method ensures us and all of our customers the we are providing high quality fresh and pure culinary herbs and spices. Providing a much longer shelf life than commercially produced products. Our customers have found that once they smelled and tasted the huge difference small batching makes in their culinary creations, concerns of shelf life are overshadowed by the concern of keeping enough on hand.
