The Sustainable Herbs Initiative (SHI) is supported by a diverse group of companies and organizations across the herbal supply network. From family farms to global brands, members are united by a shared commitment to ethical sourcing, ecological care, and industry transformation.
Together, we are creating a road map for consumers and companies to have the tools and resources needed to purchase and produce herbal remedies that benefit human health, promote greater social equity, community resilience, and biodiversity, and ensure herbs are here now and in the future.
When you buy an herbal product, you want to feel confident in the quality of the ingredients and know they will support your needs.
You want to know the plants were harvested sustainably to ensure they regenerate and support future generations. And that the collectors and farmers are paid a fair wage.
Participating members, including like-minded brands such as evanhealy, Wishgarden, Gaia Herbs, Fat and the Moon, and many others, recently shared in a video why it matters to know where your herbs come from.
"It matters because Motherlove was built on the connection between Mother Earth and motherhood, and that connection starts with the plants themselves." - Motherlove Herbal Company
