Harvest from different stands or spots in a stand to minimize impact. Don’t harvest the Grandmothers and Grandfathers. The oldest and largest plants in a stand are the most successful survivors with the strongest genes. We let them continue to reproduce. Leave any area you harvest from in the same or better condition than you found it. Fill in holes after harvesting roots. Don’t leave discarded leaves or other plant parts lying around where others can see them. We partner with a sustainable farm, one whose crops are not being over-exhausted, but rather new crops are grown at a rate that is able to meet our demand. We also ensure that farms we choose to work with do not rush harvest or sacrifice the quality of raw material at any point, allowing farmers time to catch up and maintain the viability of their crops. Putting human life and our land fist in every decision we make, obtaining superior ingredients with ethical standards in mind, practicing love for all of God’s creation in every step of the way
