Wildcrafting

Wildcrafting

Some of the herbs that we offer we collect in the forest on the farm or nearby. These herbs include Wild Raspberry Leaf, Horsetail, Willow Bark, Wild Rosehip, Uva-Ursi, Goldenrod, and Labrador Tea. These herbs are all picked by hand and the picking areas are distributed around a given plant population so that we do not cause significant harm to a natural stand of plants.

Generally everyone enjoys wildcrafting because it is an opportunity to be out in the forest for a day or two. We are still focused on filling harvest containers and picking the best material, but being in the forest is a nice break from more tedious garden tasks like weeding.
