Celebrating Our Abundant Eschscholtzia Harvest

There are certain moments in the farming year that remind us why we do what we do. This week has been one of them.
Our biodynamic fields have been glowing with the vibrant golden-orange flowers of Eschscholtzia (California Poppy), and this year’s harvest has been nothing short of exceptional. The plants have flourished, producing an abundant crop of beautiful, healthy herb at its very peak of vitality.
Because nature has been so generous, we’re delighted to be offering our Eschscholtzia tincture on special offer while this exceptional harvest lasts.
Harvested at the Perfect Moment

Timing is everything in herbal medicine. At our biodynamic farm, we don’t harvest according to convenience or production schedules. We harvest when the plant itself tells us it is ready—when it has reached its optimum stage of growth and its natural vitality is at its highest. Every harvest is carried out by hand with great care and respect for both the plant and the rhythms of nature.
From Living Plant to Medicine—On the Same Day
What makes our tinctures truly distinctive is what happens after harvest. Unlike many herbal products that are made from dried herbs, or fresh herbs transported over long distances before processing, our freshly harvested plants travel only a short distance from the field to our cGMP and MHRA-approved laboratory.
There, on the very day they are harvested, they are carefully macerated to begin the tincture-making process. This rapid transition from field to laboratory means the living character of the fresh plant is preserved. There is no lengthy storage, no unnecessary transport, and no delay between harvest and extraction.
We believe this allows us to capture the full vitality of the herb at its freshest, preserving the qualities that nature intended and ensuring as little as possible is lost between field and bottle.
Crafted to the Highest Standards
While our farming methods are rooted in traditional biodynamic principles, our manufacturing is held to the highest modern pharmaceutical standards.
Every tincture is produced in our cGMP and MHRA-approved laboratory, where rigorous quality controls ensure consistency, purity and traceability from seed to finished bottle.
It’s a unique combination of traditional farming wisdom and modern manufacturing excellence—bringing together the best of both worlds.
