 FAQs

  • Herb : any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavoring, food, medicine, or perfume.

    Throughout the season we strive to provide you with herbs that are both familiar and new to you. We’re growing over 30 varieties of herbs for the 2024 season, some of which include: Blue Vervain, California Poppy, Chamomile, Calendula, Comfrey, Ginger, Hibiscus, Tulsi, Rosemary, Skullcap, Stinging Nettle, etc.

  • You’ll receive 8 oz of each herb by weight. In some cases, like extremely lightweight or high-value herbs, we will provide you with the 8 oz equivalent in either volume or value.

    8 oz provides plenty of plant material to create one larger or multiple small preparations per herb. By the end of the season your cabinets will be well stocked with creations!

  • We’re glad you’re here! Our Guide to the Season is filled with all the information you’ll need to process your herbs each month. The herb profile cards will also serve as a helpful reference on plant facts, and will provide you with inspiration on how to prepare + use each plant based on modern and traditional usage.

  • Yes, in every way other than being certified so! You can learn more about our growing practices here.

  • Your herbs will be individually packaged for ease of pick-up and transportation home. We strive to use eco-friendly, compostable and recyclable packaging options wherever possible. During pick-up, you’ll receive a bag with your herb bundles as well as the herb profile cards for each herb in that share.

    Whenever possible, try to process your herbs on the same day as pick-up- we recommend setting aside 1-2 hours. We think you’ll come to look forward to this set aside time to work with your plants each month!

  • Hey, life happens- if you won’t be able to make a pick-up day, please let us know as early as possible, preferably at least a week in advance. We will do our best to provide you with an alternate pick-up option as our schedule allows, pick-up will be from our farm in Hillsborough.

    Elysian Fields CSA Members: If you need to miss a pick-up day, we will double the amount of herbs in your share for the next delivery.

  • Yes, our aim is to make Herb Club accessible for all who wish to join. If paying for the full season doesn’t work for you, please email us at heyroseproduce@gmail.com and we will set up a payment plan that does.

    For those that are able, paying for the full season in advance helps us cover the upfront costs for the season such as our seeds, compost, and herb club materials.

  • There is always risk when working with living things, whether it be a rogue storm or unexpected pest. In the rare case we experience a crop failure, we will ensure it is made up before the end of the season- that could look like doubling up on a future herb, or a replacement product of equal value from the farm. Long story short, if it happens, we will make it up to you!
