We work with people we know.
We make no exceptions. We don't cut corners.
The herbs offered here are the finest you can find anywhere in the world (the only better, are those you grow).
You’ll rarely find anything but an extremely limited stock of any given herb. And our selections tend to change with the seasons.
We only sell herbs that have been sourced from farms we’re extremely familiar with. Farms we've visited in person. From farmers Marjory has on speed-dial.
We know from where and from whom every herb we sell comes from – and we're proud to introduce you to our amazing farmers.
The Biodynamic Farmer, Stephanie
And what makes her herbs extraordinary.
Stephanie Syson has spent the past decade with her hands and heart in the dirt.
Growing and using the powerful herbs that create vitality and wellness.
She has 10+ years of experience in the herbal product industry as well as over 13 years researching and practicing various forms of sustainable farming across the United States and Latin America.
As a Certified Permaculture Designer, an educator in the fields of Greenhouse Management, Seed Saving, and Herbalism, she lectures across the United States on topics such as Public Food Forests, Seed Saving Libraries, and Culinary and Medicinal Herb Growing.
Stephanie grew one acre of Biodynamic medicinal herbs at Sustainable Settings in 2016 and was overwhelmed at the quality, potency, and vibrancy of the botanicals.
Her passion turned into a full-time partnership with Brook and Sustainable Settings to expand the quantity and variety of healing herbs that will be offered for seasons to come.
The Farm at Sustainable Settings
Situated under the majestic Sopris Mountain on 244-acres once known as the historic Thompson Creek Ranch. Sustainable Settings is a working ranch and Whole Systems Learning Center.
Their daily and long-term committed effort is to provide the arena and programming where human beings might find a harmonious regenerative intersection with Nature.
With true passion, they continually strive for direct and locally applicable solutions to climate change, food and energy security, and the regeneration of healthy topsoil, and health in all systems.
These are things that are paramount if we are to survive.
All effort is intended to move the culture into greater awareness of human beings’ responsible participation as humble stewards and reverent members within Nature’s economy.
Biodynamic Botanicals found its home here in 2016 and currently has 4 acres under cultivation.
The Almost-Wild, Wandering Wildcrafter
Mindfully harvesting a really rare herb.
Look around for herbs these days, and you’ll find the term “wildcrafted” tossed around pretty liberally.
Not here.
We only invoke the word when referring to the name of this company, and the woman who owns and operates it.
And when we talk about our desert-wildcrafted Horsetail (equisetum hyemale), which a man named Doug Simons searches for in some of the most remote, inhospitable and pristine landscapes in our home hemisphere.
In hidden pockets of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, or California’s Mojave, Doug patiently tracks the Equisetum Hymale, revered for its amazing power to clean and restore teeth. From plants he’s discovered in these undisturbed, incomparably rich ecosystems, Doug thoughtfully gathers the purest Horsetail, offering his forbearance, respect and nurturing in return.
In his kind, wise, wanderings, Doug Simmons truly wildcrafts preciously small batches of horsetail, then turns it to a rare and potent powder.
You might say that Marjory wildcrafted Doug. If we have horsetail powder for sale, it’s horsetail that Doug wildcrafted while wandering alone in the desert.
Farmin’ up high at Rock 'n Roots Farm
Our source for the most supreme CBD Hemp
When Marjory caught wind of a small, high-altitude farm carefully cultivating micro crops of Cannibis Sativa using methods similar to those used on certified Biodynamic farms, she had a hunch: “This place may be growing some of the purest most potent CBD flower anywhere . . .”
When she visited, her intuition proved correct.
There on a small tributary of Colorado’s Gunnison river, a single family is farming a few acres of previously untouched mountain meadow using techniques Marjory officially certified “beyond organic.”
Using nothing but knowledge, bees, unspoiled loam, time and sunshine, Rock 'n Roots Farm cultivates CBD Flower truly without equal.
