Herbal CSA

Soothing Herbals LLC is excited to announce that we are now offering a Medicinal Herbal CSA share.

Join a Community-Supported, Locally Grown Healthcare Movement!

Buy a Medicinal Herbal CSA Share and receive a box of herbal products formulated to keep you healthy, and support sustainable, local business and agriculture in your community. Plus, when you buy a share you’ll get more value for less money.

What is a Medicinal Herbal CSA Share?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. A Medicinal Herbal CSA provides an opportunity to collaborate with us, the growers of medicinal plants. It’s a lot like a Vegetable CSA, where you pay in advance for a variety of products made during the growing season.

When you purchase a share, it helps support the work we do: growing and processing the herbs into useful natural medicines that nourish the body and enhance vitality. In return, you will receive a variety of herbs and locally produced medicinal products that support good health and a healthy planet, while also preserving the agricultural character of our local community.

The share consists of a variety of medicinal herb preparations including herbs organically grown on our farm. The products are formulated to enhance vitality and address a variety of common conditions such as colds, flu, digestion, sleep, stress, and minor skin problems. Subscribers are able to choose from a wide variety of herbal tinctures, teas, syrups, elixirs, skin care, aromatherapy, fresh culinary herbs & more. Subscribers are encouraged and welcome to visit the farm to see where their medicine is coming from, and to lend a hand if desired.

The shares are available in Mini, Small or Large sizes and each share comes as 1, 2 or 3 installments, assembled in May, August and November during growing season.
