Many of our customers require freshly harvested botanicals for their proprietary formulas. At Pacific Botanicals we have years of experience harvesting, packing, and shipping freshly harvested herbs. Very few growers do this. It is one of our specialties. We encourage you to call early in the season to reserve your portion of the harvest. Below is our price list and the season you will need to call to place your fresh order. On page 12 there is a list of the fresh harvested herbs and the number of times (in parentheses) in the year that each herb is harvested. These time frames are approximate because of the fickleness of Mother Nature. Remember, fresh harvests are limited so we highly recommend you plan ahead and reserve your supply.

One man’s weed is another man’s Miracle The Amazing Healer: St. John’s Wort s so many of you know, SJW is an amazing plant. It is sometimes re- Aferred to as the “happy” plant. It has been long recognized to support a sense of well being. And, most recently scientists have found that it is just as effective as Prozac in treating depression. German scientist, Dr. Klaus Linde, from the Centre for Complementary Medicine in Munich, pooled data from twenty nine studies involving 5,489 patients with mild to moderately severe depression. ‘Overall, the St. John’s Wort extracts tested in the trials were superior to placebo, similarly effective as standard anti-depres- sants, and had fewer side effects than the pharmaceuticals’, he said. Product constituencies may vary, so for the best product sources it is always best to get advice from a qualified practitioner. On the other hand...many have considered SJW , also known as Klamath weed, a noxious weed. Its eradication from Northern California cattle country became the most celebrated biological control success story in American history. Introduced to Pennsylvania in 1793, the yellow-flowering plant had both medicinal and religious meaning for the Europeans who brought it here. By the 1940’s, the plant, toxic to livestock, had spread across the continent, rendering more than five million acres of cattle grazing rangeland useless. Scientists recruited natural predators to control the weed, and Chrysolina, a group of Eurasian beetle species, were released in the western United States in 1945 and 1946. As soon as the insects established themselves in their new home, St. John’s Wort populations crashed in California, freeing up hundreds of thousands of acres and saving an estimated $3.5 million per year throughout the 1950’s. The Directors of the Humboldt County Wool Grower’s Association and the Humboldt County Cattlemen’s Association in northern California were so thrilled with the results, they erected a statue of Chrysolina in the town of Arcata, California. But...of course...we are glad they did not eradicate it all. At Pacific Botanicals our SJW is ethically and sustainably harvested in the wild. The timing and health of the plant is crucial to its potency. We only use trusted, experienced wildcrafters that we have built relationships with over time. Each wildcrafter must meet our strict ethical guidelines for environmentally friendly harvesting.

Sometimes I Wonder What it must be like... ometimes, when I’m staring out the window of my Soffice, or walking down the path past the rows of crops, I wonder what it must be like to be a plant. Maybe you have too from time to time. What must it be like to be rooted so firmly in the ground? Strong in wind and rain, wound and woven close to a whole field of friends who are so much like you but not exactly. Do they sense their closesness to each other? Do they always get along? What would it be like to spread your petals in the sun? Face turned up to the endless sky. Stretching upward faith- fully surrendered to the warming light. Fully open all the day following the sun from east to west. Drinking in the penetrating rays. Patient over days and days to observe the simple coming and passing of the changing shades of sky. Humbly closing without worry for the night. And what about when you and I pass by? By tractor or by feet. Do they sense us? Making a riffle in the air. A brightly charged cloud of chatter or thought as we stroll by. Do they silently acknowledge “the breathing ones?-- Our colorful hair and hats--Our fragrance and gait--Our bright faces in the sun. Can they feel our turmoil or our joy as we pound our boots along the dusty track? Do they feel affection for the beauty of our kind? Each of us so different and unique. As we do them. Do they sleep peacefully at night and dream of earthworms lighlty brushing their dangling roots? Do they worship the falling rain that cleanses in a thrill and sinks down to stir the dark mineral stew for those who do not toil and do not spin? And the bees? Called to the spinning honey glow, and the nectar, and the seductive color refined over centuries. Are the flowers excited at their approach? Do they feel the whisper of the vibrating air from beating wings, the rubbing of moving legs that catch the furry pollen and the delicate touch of tiny feet dancing on their sensitive leaves? Do they cherish their being freely blooming even if only for a season? A few glorious months in the sun? I wonder sometimes, don’t you, what it must be like.—DE.
