Community Supported Herbalism
Community Supported Herbalism
Our goal in creating this CSH is to offer our community fresh medicinal plants gathered at their optimal harvest time and with the deepest respect, so that you and yours will be empowered to navigate most common illness. Our goal is to provide a year’s supply of medicine of each plant, and a well-rounded medicinary by the end of the season. Our small-scale approach allows us to sink into the needs of the plants as well as our community.
Pick-ups occur monthly on the following Friday evenings from 3:30 to 6:30 in Portland. The following Saturday pick-ups are an option too, just let us know if that is better for your schedule. Location for gathering your herbs is in SE Portland.
