Wildcrafting is the art of harvesting and collecting plants
and herbs that are found growing in the wild. To wildcraft one
must be able to identify many plant characteristics and growing
conditions. This is a difficult skill to master. The untrained
eye can easily mistake a useful herb for a common weed.
"Why do people wildcraft?" Many people wildcraft because
there are very useful herbs that are rare and can only be found
in areas with the right climate and growing conditions. These
rare herbs cannot usually be found in many stores.
Rio Grande Herb Company specializes in wildcrafting herbs
that grow only in the Southwest United States such as Inmortal,
Osha, Yerba del Manso, Cota, Canutillo, Amole, Poleo Mint,
Epazote, Chaparral, Yerba de la Negrita and many others.
What makes wildcrafting so special is that these plants
usually can only be found growing wild. They are raised by
mother earth, and are Nature's gifts to us all.
Rio Grande Herb Company has been wildcrafting for many
years. We take great pride in our environment and the gifts that
nature provides. We are very careful not to upset the natural
balance of life and are very careful not to harvest too much at
a time. Some of our most popular and most beloved herbs we sell
are directly wildcrafted from the mountains, deserts, and
valleys of beautiful New Mexico and Colorado.
