Ingredient Sourcing

Where does FreeWildShe source ingredients?

We take sourcing seriously. The botanicals that go into a product shape everything that comes out of it. Our primary ingredient partner is a certified sustainability leader known for organic, fair-trade herbs and deep relationships with their growers.

The rest are grown or foraged locally in Oregon, including from our own tea garden in McMinnville. (Yes, we hand-process our own lavender buds. It’s a whole thing.) Fresh fruit like cherries, strawberries, marionberries, and rhubarb come from our partner family farms, each located within ten miles of our production kitchen.

We only use ingredients we trust and never those tied to unethical harvesting. From farm to blend, every ingredient reflects our commitment to thoughtful sourcing, flavor integrity, and care you can taste.

 

FreeWildShe Sources From:

Mountain Rose Herbs

Baird Family Farm

Eola Crest Cattle

Dolce Farm & Apiary

Parsons Farm

Pablo Munoz Farm

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bitters?

Bitters are an infusion of high-proof alcohol plus herbs, roots, barks, fruit, spices, and flowers. At least one of the botanicals must taste bitter. They're often added to beverages in drops and dashes to bring balance, complexity, or flavor.

Are FreeWildShe products organic?

Most of the botanicals we use are certified organic, but FreeWildShe is not a certified organic company. We prioritize responsible sourcing practices, fair labor standards, and quality testing.

What do you mean by thoughtfully sourced ingredients?

We select botanicals with care. Our primary supplier emphasizes responsible growing and harvesting, fair labor standards, and rigorous quality testing. We also source fresh fruits and herbs from local farms to support regional agriculture.

What do you mean by small-batch?

We produce our bitters and loose-leaf teas in limited quantities, mixing, blending, and packaging everything in-house. This hands-on approach allows us to make thoughtful decisions at every step, maintain consistency, and pay close attention to the quality of each batch.

Where are FreeWildShe bitters & teas made?

FreeWildShe bitters & teas are made by hand in small batches in our licensed commercial kitchen in Dayton, Oregon. About 35 miles SW of Portland.
