Our tinctures are made with love and in small batches. We use Certified Grain Organic Alcohol and only use fresh and organically grown or wild-harvested herbs cultivated without the use of pesticides, fertilized with organic manure from our own chickens, rabbits and little kinder goats, and the water used is from our private well which is sustained by the Nisqually River. Our tinctures are "extra strength" not like the watered down and dull products found on the commercial marked today. While sampling a good portion our competitor’s products we found that the majority of them use more distilled water than alcohol, and the herbs they use are probably not picked fresh during harvest - which ultimately means there's less of the good stuff. We think you'll notice a difference with our tinctures.
