All of the herbs are home grown or gathered in the woods and meadows around our area. Unfortunately the orange and lemon peelings used in those varieties come from tropical countries which can’t be helped, but we buy organic. It is part of our mission to BUY LOCAL and SELL LOCAL.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES SECTION

Description Of Environmental Practices: We take the utmost care to reduce, reuse and recycle every step of the way in our production, display and packaging. Scrapings are retained and used in our laundry detergent. Our display case was discarded by a large grocery chain. Our packaging is either recycled brown paper tied with grass, or a fabric bag made from reused clothing items and tied with leftover bits of pure wool or cotton yarn leftover from our knitting projects. We also gather, wash and reuse baskets that people have discarded after Easter, or from flower arrangements. We use shredded post-consumer paper as filler in the baskets WHEN necessary. We try not to use too much so the baskets do not need yards of plastic wrap to keep the contents intact.

Soap @ Wikipedia - Soap is a surfactant used in conjunction with water for washing and cleaning that is available in solid bars and in the form of a viscous liquid. Chemically, soap is a salt of a fatty acid. Traditionally, soap is made by the reaction between a fat and a strong alkali such as lye (sodium hydroxide), potash (potassium hydroxide), or soda ash (sodium carbonate). Historically, the alkali was leached from hardwood ashes.

Detergent @ Wikipedia - A detergent (as a noun) is a material intended to assist cleaning. The term is sometimes used to differentiate between soap and other surfactants used for cleaning. As an adjective pertaining to a substance, it (or "detersive") means "cleaning" or "having cleaning properties"; "detergency" indicates presence or degree of cleaning property.

Gift Basket @ Wikipedia - A gift basket, or fruit basket is typically a gift that is delivered to the recipient at their home or workplace. There are different varieties of gift baskets, some which have fruit only, some with dry/canned goods only (such as tea, crackers and jam) although the standard gift basket will have have a selection of both. Gourmet gift baskets are very similar to the standard gift basket, although it will include more unusual/high end fruit, and often will have good quality cheese and wine included.
