Welcome to Mountain Spirit Herbals

Dear Friends,

Twenty-four years in the herbal world has taught me a lot and I give back whenever I can. Currently, I am working with troubled youths in an herbal apprenticeship program. I do not charge them, due mostly to their circumstances, and would like to work with them more but need additional funding to do so. If you would like to sponsor a youth (ages 16 to 25) I would be happy to send you more information.

I still have a lovely retail set-up in my 30-ft. home yurt and would love to have you come buy your products here, or through our website, catalog, craft fairs and Port Townsend’s local farmer’s market.

I am an earth-based company and have the pleasure of stewarding seven acres of mostly cedar forest and wetlands. I have chosen to keep my life and dreams simple. The products I make reflect these choices. In between the cedars and wetlands I have created mixed herbal and vegetable gardens. Most of my fresh-made products come from these gardens and the surrounding land. I still have to supplement my harvest with high-quality herbs grown or wildcrafted by other farmers, both in our local region and elsewhere, with fair trade and the finest organic products I can find.

Because the economy has been so challenging I have had to give up many of the products I don’t make and increase some prices on my own products.

I hope to hear from you, as I look forward to the time I spend with you, my customers. I am also available for herbal consultations. Feel free to phone for an appointment. In keeping with our 24-year tradition this will be your only catalog for the year 2008.

I am also available for herbal consultations.

With the warmest blessings,
Denise Joy
