Acadia Herbals
| Acadia Herbals opened its doors in the fall of 2003 in the historic city of Northampton, MA, just east of the Berkshires. Being a small business, we are committed to offering the highest quality, organic herbs and spices available. Along with these herbs, we offer organic teas, essential oils, tinctures, herbal capsules, Maine Flower Essences, salves, soap-making supplies, gems/crystals, gifts, classes, and more. Founder of Acadia Herbals is Nathaniel Petley, an herbalist and horticulturist who brings together a wide assortment of knowledge of the plant world. He has a B.S. Degree in Landscape Horticulture from the University of Maine and a Master's degree in Plant Science from the University of Connecticut. Nate wildcrafts many abundant herbs all around New England and works with local organic farmers to grow many others. He teaches classes in his shop and in the field on plant identification, gardening, soap making, and using herbs for medicinal and culinary purposes. Acadia Herbals proudly supports local herbalists and farmers. Most of our creams, salves and herbal products are made in Western MA and CT. Many of our herbs were grown on organic farms throughout New England. When available and abundant, we wildcraft local herbs. Whenever possible, however, Acadia Herbals buys certified organic herbs rather than wildcrafted endangered species. For example, our American ginseng and goldenseal is certified organic, not harvested from the wild. This often increases the cost of our herbs, but we feel the protection of native populations is worth the price. |
