Celebrating Progress: A Comprehensive Look at 2025 for Mountain Rose Herbs
As we transition into the new year, it’s a time for reflection at Mountain Rose Herbs. The past year was not just a series of transactions; it was a celebration of transformation, community, and the quest for holistic wellness. With a strong commitment to ethical practices and educational outreach, Mountain Rose Herbs has made significant strides in 2025, setting the tone for a more sustainable and engaged future.
Free Herbalism Project: Fostering Community Connections
The cornerstone of our community engagement is the Free Herbalism Project, which has evolved since its inception in 2013. This year, we brought the event to Bastyr University in Seattle, attracting expert herbalists like Suzanne Tabert and Sajah Popham. This in-person experience signifies more than just a series of workshops; it’s a celebration of shared knowledge and the bond between herbalists and enthusiasts seeking to enrich their understanding of plants and wellness.
A Wealth of Knowledge: 123 New Educational Resources
2025 saw an explosion of educational content with the publication of 123 blogs that touched on various topics—from DIY body care to sustainable practices. Our readers especially loved the Natural Mosquito Repellent guide and the delightful Queen of Hearts Mocktail with Hawthorn recipe. These accessible resources allow our community to explore herbalism's role in everyday life while promoting a deeper connection to nature.
Embracing Ethical Practices: Fair for Life & FairWild Certifications
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to ethical sourcing and fair treatment for all involved in herbal production. Our Fair for Life and FairWild certifications ensure that every herb we offer supports not just our customers but also the communities and ecosystems that help bring these plants to life. In 2025, we celebrated our highest score yet in compliance with these certifications, reflecting our ongoing dedication to equitable practices.
Innovative Approaches: Regenerative Organic Certified Offerings
As consumers become more eco-conscious, regenerative organic farming has emerged as a critical focus area. In 2025, we expanded our offerings to include eleven new Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) botanicals, supporting biodiversity and soil health. This approach not only nurtures the environment but also guarantees a better quality of herbal products, aligning with the holistic wellness journey many of our customers are pursuing.
Strengthening Local Economies: Sourcing US-Grown Herbs
In alignment with our sustainability goals, we’ve made substantial progress in sourcing US-grown herbs. By focusing on local suppliers, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint while supporting domestic farmers. This initiative reflects our commitment to strengthen local economies and presents our customers with high-quality, familiar offerings.
Employee Wellness: Building a Caring Workplace
It’s vital for us to prioritize the health and well-being of our team members. This year, Mountain Rose Herbs introduced several initiatives, such as covering 100% health insurance premiums and scheduling “service dog days”—all aimed at fostering a supportive work environment. By investing in our employees’ health, we recognize that their happiness translates into better service and products for our community.
Looking Ahead: Goals for 2026 and Beyond
As we look forward, 2026 promises to be even more ambitious. We plan to scale our FairWild initiatives and expand our Regenerative Organic Certified offerings. The upcoming year will continue to highlight our focus on education and community involvement, ensuring that everyone is equipped with the knowledge to engage with herbal practices effectively. Our commitment is clear; we strive to cultivate not only plants but also richer connections with our customers and the environment.
