Guidelines for selling your herbs, barks, roots and leaves

All prices quoted are for clean (NO MOLD/DRY) roots, leaves, herbs and barks.

Properly cared for, cleaned and dried items can often bring higher prices!

Example: Cut or slice Beth root, Poke root and other heavy roots for drying to prevent mold and speed the drying process.

Dry your herbs and leaves in the shade to keep their green color.

By spreading out your botanicals in a thin layer allowing air flow will help prevent mold. Once dry do no allow your botanicals to get wet again.

Avoid using plastic bags with dry botanicals to help avoid molding.

Please keep in mind that most of the items you harvest are for human consumption so please handle in a proper and responsible manner. We reserve the right to refuse any shipment not meeting industry standards for cleanliness and or quality.

Please obey the laws of nature when collecting botanicals for market or personal use.

Leave small immature plants as well as broken roots in the ground for future growth and seeding. Plants seed in the same area they are found.

Most all seeds should be planted ½ to 1 inch deep for successful growth. Proper cultivation will promote growth and re-growth for future harvest.
