We grow what we can here. We gather what grows wild on the place, and sometimes on land next door. And a few things we buy, because they will not grow in south Alabama, or for other reasons, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

This page lays out which is which. If you ever want to know where a particular herb came from, the product page will tell you, and if it does not, write to us and we will fix the page.

What do you grow on your farm?

Moringa is the crop we grow. We have been growing it in Opp since 2015, and every bit of moringa leaf we sell is off our own trees. Leaf, powder, capsules, extract, and the moringa in our blended teas all come from the same rows. We also grow echinacea, though not enough of it to fill everything we make, so some gets bought in.

What do you wildcraft?

Mullein is our main wild harvest. It came onto the property years back, seeded itself, and multiplied, and now we scatter seed heads where we want stands to come up. Most of what we cut still volunteers somewhere we did not plan. We also gather sweet gum balls, bark, and leaves off our own trees and land close by, and poke root and poke berries from the fencerows.

What do you buy in, and why?

Some plants will not grow in Zone 8b, and there is no arguing with that. Others we could grow but choose not to, because it would be more than we can take on. Chaga needs birch and hard winters, so we buy it wild harvested from northern stands and do the extraction here. Star anise is a subtropical tree that will not set fruit for us, so we buy the pods and make the extract in Opp. Elderberry and echinacea we grow, then top up from growers we know.

Do you still grow turmeric?

We grew turmeric for years and we still have that crop in storage, so what goes in a jar today is likely ours. When it runs out we buy from growers we know rather than plant it again. Turmeric is honest to call farm grown right now, and it will not stay that way, which is why our turmeric labels say hand-filled at our farm instead of grown on it.

Why does one product say wildcrafted and another say hand blended?

Those words mean different things and we try to use them carefully. Grown means it came off our rows. Wildcrafted means we cut it wild, mostly here on the place. Hand blended or hand filled means we made the product here from herbs that came from somewhere else. A blend can be hand blended at our farm and still contain herbs we bought, and we will say so on the product page.

Do you sell anything you did not make?

A few teas on our shelf we did not blend. We buy them finished from a tea house we trust and sell them alongside our own, because our customers asked for them and we would rather stock a good one than blend a bad one. Those are marked on their product pages.

How do I find out about a specific herb?

Every product page carries an ingredient list and a line about where the herbs came from. The list printed on your bag is what is in your bag. If the bag and the page ever disagree, trust the bag and tell us, because that means we changed a formula and did not get the page updated fast enough. We would rather hear about it than not.

Who do you buy from?

We buy from a small number of suppliers we have used for years, and we buy domestically where a domestic crop exists. We are not going to publish a supplier list, partly because it changes and partly because those relationships are not only ours to publish. What we will do is tell you, on the product page, whether a given herb came off this farm or came from somewhere else.
