Our Commitment
Preserving Herbs for Humankind
We believe if we do everything in our power to take care of plants, plants will continue to take care of us.
United Plant Savers
We’re long time members and supporters of United Plant Savers (UpS), an organization dedicated to protecting native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada, and their native habitat, while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come. Over the years Herb Pharm has made significant contributions in support of United Plant Savers’ work, including its Partners in Education program and Planting the Future conferences.
Herb Pharm’s organic farm is a United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary, an honor for our co-founder and past UpS board member and president, Sara Katz. We’ve worked diligently to restore the fertility of our farms and nurture native species, improve habitats and extend riparian areas. We’ve long grown a variety of “At-Risk” species for conservation and educational purposes and are happy to share they are thriving – from Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) and Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) to Cascara Sagrada (Frangula purshiana) and Slippery Elm (Ulmus fulva).
