Crafting organic herbal products fresh from the garden. From Seed to Bottle, we’re ancient wisdom in modern times.
At Avena Botanicals, we make herbal products such as cremes, salves, oils, tinctures, elixirs, and glycerites using fresh, organic & biodynamic herbs. These vital plants and a sacred connection to place promote the wellness of the body, mind, and spirit and encourage humans to be mindful and loving stewards of the Earth.
We bring over a thousand pounds of fresh, hand-gathered herbs into our apothecary annually and use these herbs to thoughtfully prepare our herbal products. Over 80% of these herbs come directly from Avena’s certified-biodynamic gardens.
Offering herbal extracts, skin care, dried herbs and classes.
