Our OtherEfforts
We are a privately held company supporting American jobs while building mutually beneficial partnerships with organic farmers and wild-crafters in India. We buy many of our herbs through a partnership we created with Nisarga Biotech (nisarga means nature) in the organic Umbari Farm, located southeast of Mumbai in India. The farm itself has been certified organic through the internationally recognized ECOCERT® and we have committed to providing financial assistance to help nearby farmers convert to organic growing as well.
Umbari encompasses 10 acres of organic farm land surrounded by 20 acres of national forest areas that also have been certified organic for ethically wild-crafted herbs. We also purchase herbs from Vita Organic Farms which has access to over 300 acres of certified organic farms. Our goal is to have a total of 1500 acres of certified organic lands under our control by 2010.
To ensure that our herbs are fairly traded and sustainably harvested, we pay 10% over market value for herbs harvested by the Umbari and Vita farms. We enrich the health of the earth by supporting organic agriculture, and we nourish the people who grow and collect our organic herbs.
At the same time, we third-party test all of our herbs for botanical identify, purity and strength to ensure that our customers receive therapeutic-grade herbal products that are cruelty-free and made for the whole family (pets too!).
