Overview:
On a south facing ridgetop, four miles from the sea, Avena Botanicals' apothecary, organic herb gardens, and the Avena Institute's teaching center are nestled into the hillside, bordering a 6000 acre wetland. We are blessed with an array of songbirds, deer, moose, and other species of animal and plant life which live in the neighborhood. As our understanding of the local and global significance of restoring plant and wildlife habitats deepens, we continue to expand our educational programs through Avena Institute to include classroom and hands-on opportunities for students to better understand issues of biodiversity, seed saving and ecological and cultural restoration along with various programs on growing and using medicinal herbs. For those of you new to Avena, we are a small business owned and run by women committed to working in ways which nourish ourselves, our community and our planet. We carry on an herbal tradition kept alive by women for many centuries. The daily ways we work together planting, harvesting and making medicines, mixing formulas, filling and labeling bottles, answering the phones, shipping orders and interacting with each other, continues to be done with thoughtfulness and care. We believe a kind and supportive working environment is essential for the making of medicines and for the health and well-being of all of us. In the midst of the rapid expansion of the herbal industry, we are committed to remaining a small community-based business... | |
