Zack Woods Herb Farm is
a 10-acre certified organic medicinal herb farm and botanical
sanctuary located in the heart of the green mountains of north
central Vermont. We have majestic mountain views and are surrounded
by pristine forests and streams. It is on this little piece of
heaven that in 1999 we began our dream of living and farming sustainably
while providing people with the highest quality medicinal herbs.
All of our herbs are organically grown or ethically wild harvested
and exhibit the incredible life force that flows through our land.
Last season we completed a research project which demonstrated
our successful methods for cultivating and marketing several species
of medicinal herbs native to this region that have become threatened
due to habitat loss and over-harvesting. The project was funded
by a grant from SARE (Sustainable Agricultural Research and Education).
This research demonstrates profitable land use alternatives for
local farmers while at the same time helping to preserve our native
plant populations.
