Behind every great herb is a farmer who deserves a real future.
For 13 years, Oshala Farm has grown medicinal herbs in the Applegate Valley, earning a reputation for what many in the industry consider best-in-class quality. But after more than a decade of doing this work, something has become clear: we cannot do it all. And at some point, none of us can do it forever.
The Oshala Farm Collaborative is our answer to both of those realities.
Our Core Values: Transparency, Quality, and Ethical Herb Farming

The Challenge of Sourcing High-Quality Organic Herbs
Across the herb industry — from home herbalists and small-batch product makers to national brands and multinational companies — the single greatest challenge is the same: consistent access to quality ingredients that actually meet their standards. From dried herbs and roots to botanicals used in teas, tinctures, and herbal formulations, the supply exists in fragments. The knowledge exists in silos. And the farmers who could be producing exceptional herbs often lack the market access, infrastructure, or support to get there.
That inconsistency holds the entire industry back. Building a resilient network of botanical growers is essential to the long-term success of our industry, and to ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality herbs, roots, and wildcrafted botanicals. We think it is solvable, but not by any one farm working alone.
Our Network of Organic Herb Farmers and Growers
The OFC brings together like-minded herb farmers from across the United States and around the world: growers who share our commitment to how quality is achieved, not just that it is achieved. Certified Organic is the baseline for cultivated herbs. Regenerative Organic Certified® is the horizon we are working toward collectively. Fair labor and genuine environmental stewardship, including responsible wildcrafting practices, are non-negotiable.
Building a Collaborative Network for Sustainable Herb Production
Bringing farmers together strengthens community, encourages the exchange of ideas, improves efficiency, and elevates quality. No single farm has all the answers, but 13 years of hard-won experience has taught us that herb farmers working together can raise the collective bar in ways none of us could manage alone. When farmers join the OFC, we invest in their quality alongside them — sharing what we know about production, post-harvest handling, and the details that separate good herbs from exceptional ones.
We are also committed to sharing stories from the farm, giving customers a deeper understanding of the care, skill, and dedication behind every botanical. And we are starting now to train the next generation of farmers who will carry this work forward. That process is long, deliberate, and does not happen overnight; which is exactly why it cannot wait.
Wholesale Organic Herb Sourcing for Brands and Buyers
The OFC is built primarily around wholesale relationships: contract and spot purchasing with the companies, brands, and buyers who have the volume and vision to make long-term sourcing partnerships worthwhile. If you are a wholesale buyer looking for reliable, values-aligned domestic supply, that conversation starts here.
Some OFC products will also be available directly through our website, so that smaller makers and passionate herb customers can access and support what we are building. However it is that you found us, welcome.
Our Commitment to Transparency in Herbal Sourcing
Oshala Farm is not going anywhere. Oshala-grown herbs are Oshala-grown herbs, clearly identified as such. When a product comes from one of the farms in the collaborative, that will always be clearly stated OFC — never buried, never blended without disclosure. Every source is known and vetted. That transparency is not fine print. It is the foundation the entire model is built on.
The Future of Ethical and Sustainable Herbal Supply
At Oshala Farm, we uphold the highest standards of quality, transparency, and responsible farming and wildcrafting practices. The herb industry needs a more consistent, more resilient, more values-aligned supply — and every herb you purchase through the OFC supports ethical growers, nurtures healthy ecosystems, and meets exceptional standards of excellence. We are building that future one farmer, one relationship, and one honest transaction at a time.
