Organic Production Facilities

Superior quality organc herbs begin with a superior organic farm and facililty.

OWH Main BuildingOregon's Wild Harvest is able to maintain superior quality control standards because we are in the unique position of being able to control every step in the process. We grow the majority our organic plants onsite, or ecologically wildcraft our quality herbs from our local area. Because we are able to select time of harvest, quality of seeds and methods of processing, we have the ability to guarantee the freshness, purity and consistency of our certified organic herbs used for supplements, bulk herbs, herbal teas, spices, extracts and herb oils.

With our in-house microbiology laboratory we are able to perform comprehensive microbiological testing of each herbal supplement and maintain a laboratory-verified sanitation program. Because we process our own fresh organic plant material we have the ability to identify the genus & species of each plant, pressing identified voucher plants and storing them in our herbarium for future reference. Our soon-to-be completed chromatography laboratory will bring an added dimension to our species identification and verification process.

Oregon's Wild Harvest is a Certified Organic herb grower and processor and a member of the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA).

Oregon's Wild Harvest's operations are in compliance with all state and federal regulations.
