the flora farm difference
Here's how we work.
100% grown & foraged
At Flora Farm, we are dedicated to growing and foraging high quality medicinal plants for 100% of our herbal medicine preparations. Our farm utilizes regenerative and biodynamic principles that harmonize with the rhythm of nature for happy and healthy plants and herbalists.
aligned with planetary movements
We believe in working with the influences of nature and align the harvesting and crafting of our plants and medicines with planetary movements for the utmost potency in every preparation. Some say it's crazy, others, magic. We just say it's the only way to make medicines that work.
Small batch & artisanal
Our herbal medicines are crafted in small batches using traditional and experimental medicine making techniques that explore how seasonality and Place can be infused into herbal medicine in effective ways. Each step of the way we grow, source and revere our ingredients for inspired and unique results.

Farming and herbalism by virtue, incite change, growth and opportunities for healing in communities. The work we do at Flora Farm honors the Land and lineages that we come from while providing something meaningful to our communities as a result of our efforts.

What is a CSA?
A CSA or Community Supported Agriculture program is utilized by many small farms as a production and marketing model where patrons buy a "share" of a farms harvest at the start of the year and in return, receive portions of the farms harvest throughout that year.
Typically, CSA dues are collected in the late winter and spring of a new year. This provides crucial economic support for farms to cover essential growing and operating costs for the upcoming season when earning potential for farms are at their lowest.
By supporting the Flora Farm CSA program, you directly influence our farming, foraging and medicine making efforts for the entire year while encouraging BIPOC and female entrepreneurship and strengthening the access to herbalism in communities near and fall.
The truth of the matter is- keeping integrity in the process of growing and crafting quality and experimental herbal medicine comes at a cost.
If the true cost of a product is not paid for by the consumer, it is always paid for by the exploitation of it's ecosystem and/or laborers.
Pricing goods and services is tricky, especially as a small farm and herbal business. The price of these shares are the lowest we can offer while maintaining our high standards of integrity and (maybe) having shot at making a living wage with this work.
The reverence, devotion and commitment to our craft and the journey each preparation has taken to make it into a CSA share is deeper then could ever be conveyed on a silly sales page.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment to evolving and sustaining local economies through grass roots efforts like CSA programs.
