Spring...each day warmer, longer...more time to enjoy favorite outdoor activities

Each year to Celebrate Earth Day, we donate a portion of our profits to organizations working on behalf of our environment. 

· Climate Collaborative a community of businesses from the natural products industry working collaboratively to take bold action to reverse climate change. H&A is proud to be part of this group.

· Raritan Headwaters Association For over 60 years, they have upheld a promise to protect the land and water. We rely on their vigilance.

· Musconetcong Watershed Association Dedicated to protecting and improving the quality of the Musconetcong River and its Watershed, including its natural and cultural resources. They're in our back yard!

·  Project Self-Sufficiency of Sussex County empowers vulnerable families to achieve stability and self-sufficiency through comprehensive programs that build self-confidence and self-reliance. This program is near and dear to many in our community.

Herb Day celebrates 15 years! A grassroots annual event, Herb Day is an international celebration of herbs and herbal products with independent but related events scattered across the planet. Often we get involved with a regional in-person event, but that will have to wait another year.

We will donate a percentage of our sales the weekend of May 1-2 to United Plant Savers, a wonderful organization that works to protect herbs for future generations.

Erin Stewart is a clinical herbalist, aromatherapist and organic gardener in the Pacific Northwest. A recent graduate of David Winston's two year Center for Herbal Studies Program, Erin offers apprenticeship-style training in herbalism and aromatherapy through her online school, Floranella.

This March, we were part of a global community of more than 3,700 businesses celebrating what it means to be a Certified B Corporation. We spent some time raising awareness for what makes a #BetterBusiness.

B Corps do business differently. They are for-profit companies leading a movement to use the power of business to solve our most pressing global challenges. B Corps meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability to all of their stakeholders. They are therefore better for the community, customers, and the planet.

Did You Know? Herbalist & Alchemist was the first herbal supplements company to become a Certified B Corporation in 2010. Learn about our journey and more of what it means to be a #CertifiedBCorp here.

Congrats to Jessica Baijnauth, who won a Bitters Spray Sampler Kit as part of the B Corp “B Engaged” Social Media Giveaway.

David Winston will give the keynote presentation for the NutraIngredients-USA web seminar Botanicals for Immunity: The Adaptogen Opportunity on May 19.
