Wildcrafting: A Key Component of Our Sourcing
Wildcrafting is a method of harvesting plants directly from the wild (or the plant’s natural habitats). This is the way so many of our ingredients, as well as many ingredients within the industry, get harvested. We rely on wildcrafting for the plants that simply cannot be cultivated.
The knowledge of wildcrafting has been passed down from generation to generation. These individuals understand the plants, but further, understand the wider importance of those plants within that ecosystem, how to properly harvest and care for the plants, etc.
Wildcrafters only take what they need, making sure to leave portions of the plant in its original space to help sustain a healthy population. These individuals go to great lengths to collect these plants. If it wasn’t for the work of these people, we wouldn’t be able to provide many of our favorite Redd Remedies products.
We’re so thankful for wildcrafters and all the work they do so that we can deliver products that so many rely on.
