This is an important time of year for celebrations. Samhain is almost upon us, marking the halfway point between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice. Many are stocking up on organic sweets to pass out to the little ones. And here at Mountain Rose Herbs, we’ve been celebrating Fair Trade Month. This annual tradition focuses on raising awareness and building support for fair trade in the United States.

The sun is shining and the weather is sweet here in the Willamette Valley. Throughout the rainy season, we spent days dreaming up excursions to explore the coast, rivers, and mountains of Cascadia, and it is finally time to put these plans into motion! 

Many of us here at Mountain Rose Herbs are unabashed dog and cat lovers, and we are so grateful for the unconditional love or our funny furry friends. We are happy to carry all natural products for our canine and feline friends, including this wonderful Dry Flea and Tick Shampoo.

We have never met an edible mushroom we didn’t like! While we truly adore freshly picked mushrooms like chanterelles sautéed in butter, wine, and garlic, there are so many wonderful ways to prepare dried mushrooms to enjoy year ‘round!

You might have noticed that we carry a variety of lavender products. There are many species of Lavandula out there, and for years we have sold both Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula x intermedia as Lavender Flowers. The differences between these two are very subtle. In general, they can be used interchangeably. However, some do prefer one over the other once you get into the fine complexities.
