Fall 2020 Newsletter

Despite the challenges we’ve all been facing... 2020 has actually been a busy and productive year for Em’s Herbals.
In the current situation, selling organic body care products and healing herbs online has offered great opportunities. We feel blessed with the continued progress we’ve seen in our business during this period, and we’re so grateful for the support of our loyal customers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fresh space, fresh team

Early in the year we moved into a new facility for manufacturing and shipping our products. The larger space and improved conditions have made for welcome changes!

2020 saw the hiring of new employees, including our terrific new shop associates, Lana (pictured above) and Mary. John, production and facilities manager, has also joined the team, bringing his training and experience in industrial processes.

Of course, we were unable to carry out our plans to host exhibits at fairs and festivals in the Pacific Northwest region this year, but we’re hoping to get back out there in 2021.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’re excited...

about the growth of our wholesale business, which has led us to order larger quantities of selected herbs. This enables us to offer lower prices on many items, including Elderberries, Rose Petals, and Hibiscus Flowers, to all of our customers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You may want this... now!

We’re selling a popular new product, Happy Hands hand sanitizer, featuring Aloe Vera juice and fragrant disinfecting essential oils, plus isopropyl alcohol, in a convenient travel-size (2-ounce) spray bottle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More specialities!

Featuring exceptionally high quality Premium Harvest herbs, including local Calendula Flowers and Blue Cornflowers, and remarkable batches of wild-harvested Chaparral, Yerba Mansa, Osha Root (plant shown below), and Ocotillo Bark from the Southwest desert zones.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wishing health and happiness to all—

Looking forward to serving you in the New Year!

Locally Harvested Cottonwood Bud Salve is here!

June 05, 2026

For a limited time, our locally harvested Cottonwood Bud Salve is here! One of my favorite things about herbalism is how connected it keeps us to the seasons. Certain plants only offer themselves for a brief window each year, and when they do, it feels like receiving a gift.
