Herbs, Etc.

🌿 In our work, even the smallest choices ripple outward. When we pause to examine the routines we’ve inherited, the “standard practices” we rarely question, we often find opportunities to design with more intention. This packaging update is one of those moments: a simple shift that brings our process into closer alignment with the ecological values that guide us. ➡️ This month, we’ve made a meaningful shift: we’re phasing out the heat-shrink plastic film on our softgel bottles. For years, this film provided an extra layer of protection in transit and retail environments. But through evaluation and testing, we realized we could ensure the same safety, quality, and tamper-evidence without it. And considering that we used roughly 127 kg (280 lbs) of this material each year - about 10 km (6.2 miles) of plastic - we knew we had an opportunity to do better. Removing it allows us to: • Reduce unnecessary material waste • Lower resource use and our carbon footprint • Align packaging with our ecological commitments • Increase transparency throughout our seed-to-bottle process Our softgels remain fully sealed, safe, and protected. The only difference is a lighter environmental impact. This adjustment is part of our broader commitment to question inherited industry norms, examine our micro-decisions, and design from intention rather than convenience. We believe these incremental shifts, multiplied over time, contribute to a more regenerative herbal industry.

It all begins with a seed, a small miracle that reminds us of life’s quiet brilliance. 🌱 In this short reflection, our former CEO and co-founder, Daniel Gagnon, shares a simple but powerful truth: when we connect with nature, we reconnect with the wonder of life itself. Start with what’s within reach: a small herb garden, a patch of soil, a handful of seeds. Because every time we grow something, we grow with it. And through those small acts of care, we each play a part in shaping a more beautiful, resilient future. 🌸 Sara Steinbeck Dan Coyle Helen Galvin

For our 56th Anniversary, we’re revisiting the roots of herbal medicine and the women who kept its wisdom alive. ✨ Long before the term “witch” was used to inspire fear, it described healers: midwives, herbalists, and caretakers of community health. Their knowledge of plants, fertility, and healing was a form of power, one that challenged the hierarchies of their time. Much of what we know today about herbal remedies, midwifery, and natural healing carries their legacy. What was once persecuted has become a practice of restoration, reconnection, and respect for nature’s intelligence. This Halloween, and our 56th year as herbalists, we honor the wise women, the plant keepers, and all who continue to heal through the Earth’s medicine. Here’s to 56 years of herbal wisdom and the countless generations that made it possible. Our Anniversary Sale (10% off all products) runs through October 31. Sara Steinbeck Dan Coyle Helen Galvin
