Sourcing Guide

Where to Find Herbs

Many of the herbs discussed in this guide are common herbs that could be growing right outside your door, hanging out in your spice rack, or available at your local grocery store. Some health food stores offer many herbs in bulk as well. We are lucky to have many companies that sell high quality herbs online if we can’t locate what we want locally.
