What are Farm Fresh orders?
Fresh delivery is one of the most challenging areas of herb farming. Here experience counts. We know when to harvest our herbs at the peak of their potency. Over the years we have developed the expertise to pack and ship fresh herbs all over the country. Our experience guarantees you receive the freshest product possible right to your door.
Why order Farm Fresh herbs as opposed to dry herbs?
For some herbs the constituent ingredients, and essential oils, are at peak levels when fresh rather than dried. For many manufacturers and practitioners freshly harvested herbs may be critical for their formulas.
Here are some important things to know when considering farm fresh herbs!
- Farm Fresh herbs, in contrast to dried herbs, means that the herbs are being harvested right here on our farm and shipped to you that same day!
- Farm Fresh plants, flowers and berries are always shipped overnight. Fresh roots are shipped 2nd day air.
- All fresh shipments must be opened and processed immediately upon receipt for maximum potency, to preserve freshness, and avoid spoilage.

We do not take farm fresh orders online because they are seasonal and time sensitive. If you want Farm Fresh herbs (plants, flowers, roots or berries) for the coming season we strongly encourage you to call early; at least one month before harvest time. We will help you put together your fresh order and will put you on the list to call when harvest time is near. When the cropis ready to harvest we will contact you by phone to confirm your order and provide you with shipping information. We will then custom pack and ship your order to you.
