Back in 2001 I began the process of re-structuring Mountain Rose Herbs with an exclusive focus on certified organic materials- simply because I could not blithely ignore the harsh realities that conventional agriculture was causing to our communities, landscape, rivers and wildlife. This was a daunting task because it meant that no conventionally grown materials could enter our warehouse, which is much more difficult to enforce than you can imagine! However it fills all of us at Mountain Rose Herbs with an immense sense of pride knowing that we remain the only herbal products company that does not offer its customers conventionally grown items, nor do we allow them into our facilities.
I was recently given an awesome opportunity to speak candidly with Organic Connections magazine about why organic agriculture is important to Mountain Rose Herbs and why other companies are not following our lead. It’s a great article and I promise it won’t produce yawns. Check it out at….. http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/2010/11/company-committed-to-organic/
