Herb FAQs
Where do you recommend getting herbs from?
As local as possible.
It’s important to know where your herbs come from, how they were grown/harvested, and if the folks alond the supply chain were fairly paid for their hard work.
Please consider growing and building a relationship with your own plants. There is no better medicine than what you can grow and prepare at home.
I teach classes in Colorado about our local flora to help you get started.
You can also try to find an herbalist in your area that knows how to grow and use your local plants.
Here are some of my favorite companies to source what you’re not able to grow on your own. I also believe in supporting our local farmers!
- Plenty Heirloom Farms for local CSA produce and growing classes https://plentyfarms.org/
- Oshala Farms in Oregon for bulk herbs https://oshalafarm.com/
- Red Moon Herbs for bulk herbs and herbal preparations https://redmoonherbs.com/
- Richters for live medicinal plants https://www.richters.com/
- WishGarden Herbs is a local Colorado company making medicine for Mom and babies for over 40 years. https://www.wishgardenherbs.com/
If you are a farmer and growing herbs, please reach out to me. I am happy to talk about your growing practices and visit the farm. I would love to promote more farms on the site!
I’m also a proud member of United Plant Savers. This is a great resource and organization to donate to. Check out their site for a list of species at risk and how you can be a part of the solution.
How can I schedule a personal consult for a custom formula?
Just send me an email here. I am happy to discuss herbal or mushroom preparations that can work for you.
I accept payment for services via cash, check, PayPal, or Venmo.

Where can I take an herb class?
I teach classes two ways: pre-scheduled classes through organizations (like AIMs College), or by personal request.
