Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Mountainroseherbs says theirs are organic and altho quite a difference in price, it would seem to me to be a safer place to purchase from ? I personally always go with certified organic or wildcrafted. I get my herbs from either Mountain Rose or Pacific Botanicals. Pacific Botanicals has a 1 pound minimum of each herb. You can get 1/4 lb. at Mountain Rose. Both places are great quality. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi, I looked into a couple of the places that supply bulk herbs and noticed that herbalcom.com is not organic altho they do state their herbs are free of pesticide/herbicide BUT I notice that many are imported and I believe that means they get sprayed anyway. Mountainroseherbs says theirs are organic and altho quite a difference in price, it would seem to me to be a safer place to purchase from ? hette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 A great place to get herbs is Pacific Botanicals at www.pacificbotanicals.com Most of their herbs are organic or wild crafted. And their prices are very good. Have a very good week..

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Pacific Botanicals is used by many master herbalists I am associated with through school. The reputation of Pacific Botanicals seems to be very good. Pacific Botanicals carries top-notch herbs and has excellent customer service. I order from them when I need a pound or more. If I need less, or they simply don't have a certain herb, I go with Mountain Rose, which is also quite good. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question claims about wildcrafted and organic herbs, unless you know who does the ceretification and their criteria for organic you can't be certain what it is. There are many false claims of organic online. Please thouroughly check them out before paying the higher prices. -- Peace!! -Brian ------ Herbs, Oils & More: http://www.greenladysgarden.com Wholesale Web Hosting: http://www.accessiblehosting.com ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post the response. I'm serious about checking up on your source. Many suppliers claim to be organic simply because they can charge more. -- Peace!! -Brian ------ Herbs, Oils & More: http://www.greenladysgarden.com Wholesale Web Hosting: http://www.accessiblehosting.com ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I have sent them an email asking who has certified them as organic, since their website makes organic claims but nowhere does it state they are certified organic I once called Pacific Botanicals and talked to one of the people who "run" the farm.We had a lengthy discussion about how strict they are when it comes to the quality and purity of their herbs. He said that their requirements for wildcrafted goes even above and beyond what the standard "wildcrafted" is. I'll be interested in reading your e-mail from them.

While I was visiting the website again to check for more email addresses I saw the page does claim certification but does not state who certified them. I'm a member of Organic Consumers Association ( http://www.organicconsumers.org/ )and I thing they've done an article about this sort of thing, I'll check. -- Peace!! -Brian ------ Herbs, Oils & More: http://www.greenladysgarden.com Wholesale Web Hosting: http://www.accessiblehosting.com ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Strictly pricewise: www.sfherb.com and their east coast sister company www.atlanticspice.com Minimum order is $30 but their prices are extremely low, and if you click on the herbs, they state their source. Some are imports -- Europe, China, etc., but some are U.S. sources. Misty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
