About Us

Herbologie’s mission is to produce cutting edge, value-added US agricultural products that are functional, flavorful, and socially responsible. We are committed to providing opportunities to US farmers by locally sourcing at least 50% of our ingredients. In addition to supporting other farmers, we grow several of our ingredients hydroponically in house making a truly farm-to-bottle product. We will continuously improve our process toward use of environmentally and economically sustainable materials and practices.
