We are BIG fans of incorporating herbs in simple, yet effective, ways throughout the day. So, we’re challenging you to take it to the next level—consume herbs every day, throughout the day for a truly supportive impact on your health.

TIPS: Find a high-quality loose-leaf tea to sip throughout the day, forage some Dandelion greens for salad, or use a bitters tincture before meals to rev up digestion.

Some things are non-negotiable. When it comes to our products, we’ve refused to sacrifice these key tenants:

🌿 Quality of ingredients - we’ve searched high and low for the best suppliers. We opt for local if possible and we keep an eye on how our choices impact the environment.

🌿 Integrity of nutrition - balanced macros + diversity of micros (all the complex but often overlooked compounds that make herbs so special & needed!)
🌿 Clean taste - no chalky proteins, sugary syrups, rancid oils, weird mouth films, or taffy-like texture that sticks to your teeth.
🌿 Transparency - no secrets here! We’re confident in our products. If you have a question, just ask!

We like to think of adaptogens as personal trainers for your cells. 💪 Here’s why!

Let’s dig into how a singular class of herbs can simultaneously enhance performance, increase endurance, and support recovery all at once. What does it take to be an adaptogen? You don’t get more fit by going to the gym once a month; it’s the daily commitment that builds up strength and stamin...

Adaptive energy is a measure of your resiliency—It’s the reason why the human species has been able to flourish despite all the odds!
How easily are you shaken? How strong is your mental, physical, and/or emotional resolve when things get tough?
In the modern world, we don’t have many things that specifically address this very important aspect of being a human. This is why adaptogens are CRUCIAL in your diet!

What’s our greatest wish?

To bring herbs (like adaptogens!) back into the home through convenient, accessible, and tasty methods. Something *magical* happens when we slow down, tune in, and consume herbs in an intentional way.

Now is the time to capitalize on all that fresh energy and get your body in sync with the seasons!
Wild microgreens abound this time of year & adding a few to your meals couldn't be easier. A whole head of store-bought romaine pales in comparison to the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals concentrated in even a few sprigs of wild Dandelion or Chickweed.
Try eating something wild every day! Eileen is seen here enjoying baby Yarrow leaves, a small handful of chopped Dandelion leaves, and violet blossoms atop a salad.
*PRO-TIP: always go for the baby-est leaves. They will be the most pleasant tasting and are also packed with microgreen nutrition. And ALWAYS be sure to properly I.D. your wild plants before foraging!

Try eating something wild every day, even if it’s just a leaf or 2. My favorite combo these days are adding a few baby Yarrow leaves & a small handful of chopped Dandelion leaves. I’ll top with a few Dandelion and Violet blossoms to brighten my plate.

The power of adaptogens is elevated when it’s experienced in a balanced formula with other herbs.
Creating an herbal formula is very similar to building a recipe, with each ingredient playing a special role.
The effectiveness of an adaptogenic herb can be amplified when it’s paired with the right balancing agents, and this is EXACTLY what we aim to achieve with all of our products.
