2026 Grower Season

---

 At Carolina Herbal Garden, our growers are at the heart of everything we do. We believe high-quality herbs begin with responsible land stewardship, ethical growing practices, and strong relationships built on trust and transparency. Whether you are a small-scale farmer, an established herb grower, or an experienced forager, we are always interested in partnering with people who share our commitment to quality, sustainability, and care for the land. 

We are dedicated to sourcing herbs and botanicals that are grown and harvested with integrity. Our standards are rooted in:

• Sustainable and regenerative growing practices
   
• Respect for the land, ecosystems, and local communities
   
• Clean, high-quality plant material suitable for herbal, culinary, and wellness use
   
• Transparent sourcing and traceability from field to finished product
   

We value growers who take pride in their work and who understand that how a plant is grown matters just as much as how it is processed.

• Small and mid-scale herb farmers
   
• Certified organic growers and farms transitioning to organic practices
   
• Wildcrafters and foragers with deep knowledge of plant identification and ethical harvesting
