Bulk Herb Suppliers
Mountain Rose Herbs- my personal favorite site for ordering bulk herbs.
Red Moon Herbs- Located in Black Mountain NC, not far from me. They offer classes and host the Southeastern Womans Herbal Conference.
Jean's Greens- Another good supplier, located in the NorthEast.
Maine Coast Sea Veggies- The best place on the web to buy seaweed. Good products, nice people.
Founded in 1991, ASHH is the oldest Herbal School in NC. Run by Ceara Foley and a staff of teachers who are experts in their field. I graduated from the Traditional Herbalist course in the fall of 2007, and I cannot say enough about the quality of teaching and the life changing experiences I had there. I highly recommend it!
