This project started as a collaboration between medicinal herb practitioners and researchers in Oregon who were fielding questions from the community on how to access locally produced medicinal herb ingredients. We quickly realized the need to assess the demand for domestically produced herbs and provide targeted research on crop production practices to support local farms as they continue or increase herb production to fulfill the market needs in our communities.
We are committed to working with farms, industry, herbalists, and practitioners so that we can facilitate the development of a research plan that is inclusive and targeted to enhancing the availability of PNW-grown herbs.
