Community Supported Herbalism, or CSH, is a concept built upon the community supported agriculture (CSA) model. The CSA model promotes a more sustainable agricultural system by connecting people directly to their farmers. The CSH connects people directly with their herbal remedies and the people who grow and make them. A CSH share provides you and your family with the freshest, most potent, hand-made plant medicines and products (all products are made seasonally and are much fresher than products that have been sitting on shelves for who know how long!)
A CSH Share Membership is offered monthly, seasonally, or annually - choose between a monthly membership to give it a try, a 3 month seasonal membership during which you will receive 3-4 new products each month for the season, or an annual share subscription for continuous herbal goodness. Every package contains a selection of natural remedies and herbal products, all handmade from organic, ethically and sustainably sourced herbs that are either purchased from a reputable source, grown organically in our own gardens, or respectfully wild harvested from local unsprayed areas. The products are formulated to enhance vitality and address a variety of common conditions such as colds, flu, digestion, sleep, stress, and minor skin problems, and reflect which plants are in season. Each box will also include a detailed newsletter that contains in-depth information on the herbs and preparations that are in your box, with ideas on how to use them.
By participating in the CSH, you will gain exposure to new herbs and ways of using them in a fun, seasonally based model and enjoy a wide variety of medicines and product types for all needs - including tinctures, medicinal tea blends, infused healing oils, salves, luscious body care and more! By supporting local herbalism, you are supporting your own good health and a healthy planet.
Examples of what might go in your box include herbal balms, salves, lotions, tea, herbal vinegars, elixirs, tinctures, and more! If you don't know what some of those things are, don’t worry, you'll learn!
CSH packages now include a self-care ceremony that often complements the products received as well as the seasons.
The greater the share to which you commit, the greater your savings.
