Herb Suppliers

[Guest guest]

Hey Jennifer,

 

Welcome aboard .. :-P

 

> I found this site while doing a search on sandalwood herb today.

 

Betcha didn't find much on Sandalwood herbs - huh? Kinda hard to find

it cause there ain't none .. its the wood from the middle of the tree.

 

I expect you knew that .. just thought I'd pitch it out.

 

Another point .. you " might " find a site saying there is no such thing

as Mysore Sandalwood EO available in the USA and they'll tell you many

reasons why .. all of which are bovine excrement .. afore they try to

sell you an Australian imitation called Sandalwood but ain't. ;-p

 

I'm betting that the Mysore Sandalwood chips the site below is offering

is also not true Santalum album cause getting the EO outta India is hard

enough but getting chips out oughta be a real bear .. ;-p

 

> It says most of their herbs are either organic or wildcrafted.

> http://www.herb-inc.com They are located in Berkeley California.

 

As for their prices ... they might be the norm ... I'm not sure cause I

don't shop for herbs. But we have offered 4 wildgrown herbs from Turkey

for a long time. Don't make crap on them and they are a hassle to deal

with but like the Rose Petal Jam, they're there to make folks smile and

to bring them in so they'll buy something worthwhile .. ;-p See URL

That company is getting $9.10 a pound for Organic Rosemary and $11.70 a

pound for Organic Oregano .. but I'll GAR-AN-TEE you that there is no

comparision to a cultivated Rosemary or Oregano and a natural wild-grown

Rosemary or Oregano.

 

They ask $13 for Bay Leaf .. we're out of stock but were asking $6.

Plus they are claiming its Organic and I'll give odds its Wild-grown.

 

They ask $10.40 and $16.25 for Sage .. Salvia officinalis, which has a

high level of Thujone .. generally in the area of 15% or so. We get

$5.12 for Wild-grown Salvia fruticosa which has less than 2% - better.

 

I am NOT trying to sell Culinary Herbs and Spices .. in fact, I'm happy

when I don't get orders for them cause they're a non-money-maker and a

pain-in-the-butt to package .. just wanted to show y'all the realities

of the pricing.

 

McCormicks has a factory here in Turkey - its from here they obtain

Rosemary, Oregano and Bay Leaf .. some Sage and other aromatics.
