I'm Sarah, and I harvested this Usnea on foot from pristine Kootenay forests, always with the utmost respect for these sacred places and all beings who live there. I only gather from fallen branches or windfall—never from living trees. This batch was harvested weeks or days before shipment, guaranteed fresh and potent with its rich blue-green seafoam shade.

The Glade Taught Me This
Every forest is irreplaceable. The Glade, a meadow on HooDoo Mountain where I learned to read the forest's language, was logged when I was young. I wildcraft now with that loss in my heart—taking only what I need, protecting what remains. 10% of every purchase supports the Canadian Ancient Forest Alliance. Read The Glade story →
