Wildcrafting  

Wildcrafting is the practice of harvesting plants from their natural habitat for food or medicinal purposes. It applies to uncultivated plants wherever they may be found, and is not necessarily limited to wilderness areas. Ethical considerations are often involved, such as protecting endangered species.
​
They are harvested in a sound, ethical and sustainable manner without the use of chemicals. When wild crafting is practiced sustainably with proper respect generally only the fruit, flowers or branches from plants are taken and the living plant is left. If it is necessary to take the whole plant, seeds of the plant are placed in the empty hole from which the plant was taken.
Care is taken to only remove a few plants, flowers, or branches, so plenty remains to continue the supply. 

Wildcrafted vs Organic

Wildcrafted botanicals are generally not farmed or sprayed with any kind chemicals. They are wild, native and organic and retain the positive attributes of plants grown in their natural habitat.

Certified organic herbs and plants are usually grown under ideal conditions on a farm and produced according to strict standards. They are free from harmful pesticides, fertilizers or GMO plants (genetically modified organisms), to enhance their growth.

​Though organic products are grown under optimal conditions there are not necessarily cultivated in their natural habitat which means they may not retain all the qualities of their wildcrafted counterparts.

​Both wildcrafted and certified organic products are free from harmful chemical additives and are much better and safer than their commercial grade counterparts. However, one isn’t necessarily better than the other.
