Our Signature Process
How We Freeze-Dry Our Herbs
The cleanest way to keep herbs shelf-stable, nutrient-rich, and true to the living plant.
Start With Freshly Harvested Plants
Locally grown and picked at peak vitality, our herbs are gathered straight from the field when their energy and nutrients are at their best.
Gently Preserve With Cold Temperatures
Placed in a low-pressure vacuum chamber, the water is gently removed through sublimation—protecting delicate compounds and potency.
Package & Seal To Retain Plant Vitality
Superior to other drying methods, freeze-drying retains the nutrients, enzymes, activity, & vitality of fresh plants.
Freeze-Dried vs Air-Dried
Freeze-Dried Herbs
- US-Grown & Freeze-Dried the Same Day
- Up to 97% Nutrients Preserved (peer-reviewed studies show freeze-drying is the best method for retaining vitamins, enzymes & antioxidants)
- Protects Delicate Compounds that are easily lost with heat or air
- Shelf-Stable: Nutrients locked in for years without degrading
- Potent, Vibrant & Closest to the Fresh Plant
Air-Dried Herbs
- Often Grown Overseas, Stored & Shipped Long Distances
- Only ~40–60% Nutrients Retained (heat & oxidation reduce vitamins and phytonutrients)
- Fragile Compounds Lost — activity, color, flavor, and aroma fade quickly
- Begin Degrading Immediately; potency drops each month in storage.
- Short Shelf Life: Herbalists know dried herbs last only 1–2 years, which is why they’re often tinctured.
