Commitment to community is an integral part of Oregon's Wild Harvest. This commitment begins with the organic farm itself, which is open to the public on many summer weekends (see our Biodynamic farm tour schedule), offering free educational talks, samples, and tours. Founder, and herbalist, Randy Buresh speaks frequently to a wide variety of organizations on many aspects of herbal medicine and holistic health care. Randy considers this form of community service one of his greatest joys. Click here for more information on Randy Buresh.

At Oregon's Wild harvest, we feel it's extremely important to donate or collaborate with researchers on important research studies and safety and effectiveness studies that advance the science of herbal medicine. As a company, we strive to make this possible by continually applying for grant dollars. This method is ideal for Oregon's Wild Harvest, because we are so well positioned to provide such impactful results:

1. We have complete control over the herbs we grow
2. We have a great working relationship with NCNM and OHSU

In the end, we feel it is extremely important that we do our part to help insure a sustainable future for healing herbs.

Oregon's Wild Harvest supports many admirable organizations through donations of products and labor.
