How it all started
I started growing herbs in 1994 because I wanted better tea—and healthier, more flavorful food for my family.
Along the way, I fell in love with everything about herbs: their scent, their texture, and the way they make simple things feel special.
Today, I use that passion to help you enjoy herbs easily. All of my teas and seasonings are salt-free, preservative-free, and full of real flavor—so you can feel good about every sip and sprinkle.

Commonly asked Questions
FAQ
Do you use preservatives?
All of our blends are created with no preservatives, flavor enhancers or anti-clumping agents.
We grow our herbs organically, no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides and only organic methods. The herbs are grown in "hills" placed in rows. This allows us to walk among the plants but keep a high-quality soil and easy watering methods that makes plants drought resistant.
Are your items salt and gluten-free?
All our herb blends are crafted with no salt and no gluten. Our baking mixes will be clearly marked if they are gluten-free, but all will be low salt. However, since we make all the blends ourselves if you wish no salt in a baking mix (scones, breads, etc.) just ask and we will blend them without salt.
How and where do you ship?
Due to restrictions on plant materials, we only ship to the US or US territories. NO international orders are accepted. All items can be shipped either UPS or USPS depending on weight.
Where do your herbs come from?
We grow almost all of the herbs we use in our blends at our 3/4 acre herb garden. We have been growing herbs since 1994 and created our garden space in 2000 growing our herbs production style in hills and rows.
Can I request a custom blend or ingredient substitution?
Yes! We’re happy to tweak a blend for your dietary needs, allergy concerns, or flavor preferences. Just reach out and let us know what you need. We hand-blend everything to order, so your mix can be just right for you.
How should I store the herb blends to keep them fresh?
Keep your blends in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight—think pantry, not above the oven. Airtight containers work best. Stored properly, they’ll stay flavorful for up to 18 months (though we bet you’ll use them
faster!).
Are your herbs organic?
While we’re not certified organic, we grow all of our herbs using natural, sustainable methods—no chemicals, no sprays, no artificial anything. Everything is grown and harvested by hand, right in our ¾-acre garden.
Can I use your blends for more than one purpose?
Absolutely! Many of our seasoning blends work as rubs, dips, dressings, or marinades—and some teas can be used to make cocktails or mocktails. We even have a recipe library on the website to help spark ideas!
