Feather Catcher Gardens & Wild Harvesting Remedios
We practice bioregional herbalism, or place-based herbalism, which means we create herbal remedies with local plants, seasonally. As herbalists, we believe that a deeper level of healing can take place knowing that we're providing our community with plant medicines that are native to our homeland. These plants experience the same environmental and seasonal conditions, challenges, and ancestral memories that we do — so part of their medicine that we consume is the resilience they embody.
All of our products contain plant medicines that are either homegrown, or are carefully and respectfully wild harvested in small amounts from the deserts and mountains of our ancestral lands. We also enjoy incorporating some favorite non-native herbs in our products, all of which are organically grown in our herbs gardens. We like to document our process (photos below) — it’s important to us that we demonstrate our craft for the sake of transparency and integrity. So whether we’re making a salve with homegrown herbs, or we’re making a fresh field tincture in the mountains at 10,000 ft elevation, we want you to actually see how we go “from garden to bottle,” as they say!
