Sustainability and Our Vision for the Future

As a small batch, organic and artisanal producer, we know that our overall environmental impact is comparatively small, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t passionate about sustainability and leaving as small a footprint as we can on the world at large, as well as promoting this idea to others through our actions.

 

The term ‘Wildcrafted’ in our company name isn’t just a trendy buzzword - it describes what we do and informs our practices - as well as sourcing our ingredients from certified organic companies, we include our own, handpicked from their natural habitats and with no interference from us, including watering or any form of pesticides, whilst making sure we don’t over-harvest, so that the plants may return to their former selves and keep providing the local wildlife and habitat with their benefits. This is Wildcrafting in its true form.

 

As well as giving us ingredients at the peak of their potency and effectiveness for skin nourishment, it encourages the habitat they are derived from to survive and thrive naturally, instead of perpetuating the cycle seen in large-scale monoculture-based farming.

 

Our future vision is to expand with this approach, to land where we can encourage and grow more plants that require no external interference in their growth, and further to that, build an off-grid smallholding, where we can produce our products, but also employ and educate people who share our ideas and visions, and want to be part of something special, that goes beyond just having a job and making money.

 

These days, we are lucky to have more refined technology at our disposal to reduce our environmental impact, such as solar power and wind energy to provide us with electricity, energy-free natural dehydration processes for our herbal ingredients, ground source heating for the winter months, sustainable timber for our buildings, rainwater collection to reduce water grid usage etc etc.

 

This is the company we want to be, and want others to be part of, and we’re really excited about what the future holds.
