Do you know where your herbs are from?

Do you know why it matters?

Our health is inextricably linked to the planet's health.

The quality of the herbs in finished products directly reflects the quality of the care and attention with which they were harvested and processed.

We’re working for a more sustainable and prosperous future for the plants, the people working with the plants, and the planet.

– Ann Armbrecht, SHI Founder and Director
