Based in the beautiful Skagit Valley of Western Washington, we go into the mountain passes, river valleys, the Puget Sound, Eastern Washington, and Central Oregon to harvest medicinal plants -- saps, roots, barks, resins, leaves and flowers -- with an awareness of environmental impact and sustainability. Whatever plants do not grow in the wilds of our region we purchase from or barter with local organic herb growers.
Our guarantee to you is that our herbs are hand picked at the peak of their potency by resident herbalist Suzanne Jordan and her happy band of apprentices and processed immediately to ensure superior quality products.
We use only "whole ingredients" in our products: beeswax from local beekeepers, pure botanical oils, extra virgin olive oil, grain alcohol for the extracts and free-trade shea butter, to name just a few.
We never use synthetic scents, colors, preservatives or petroleum ingredients in our products. |

Cedar Mountain Herb School
Herbal workshops and apprenticeship programs based on decades of field experience, teaching a partnership of both scientific and spiritual plant studies.
Learn to incorporate wild plants into your everyday life!
When learning about herbs, a common mistake people make is feeling they need to know hundreds of plants for hundreds of maladies. This can be overwhelming and may stop a person from using any herb at all! In addition, with the "wealth" of information on the Net, it is so easy to get confused about the uses of herbs when one source says one thing about a plant and another source says something completely opposite. What to believe? Most people don't have the time to learn about hundreds of plants. Knowing well a few herbs can really help improve a person's life immensely.

This is where an apprenticeship is so valuable. The beauty of an apprenticeship with Suzanne is that she is first and foremost a Wildcrafter. That means that you will travel to many habitats and environments and meet with plants face to face on their "turf," as it were. This can happen in the wild, in a garden and visiting an organic farm. Getting acquainted with the plants is of utmost importance; who they are, where they live and who they live with, how to harvest the right part of the plant at the right time of its season and then make it into something that can be added to everyday life. Thus begins a journey towards having a relationship with plants.
There is great satisfaction in looking into your herb cabinet and seeing edible herbs waiting to be put into soups, teas and herbal vinegars for nourishing and healing, tinctures, salves, creams, syrups and unguents at the ready for healing and peace of mind.
Suzanne says: "Apprentice with me, I will teach you what I know!"
