No they are not, and we're proud of it! Approximately 80% of our herbs are certified organic, with the other 20% being either ethically wildcrafted or what we like to call "Uncertified Organic".

When we say "Uncertified Organic", we mean that while the herb may not have the formal certification, it's been grown and harvested using all of the same criteria and standards as a certified organic herb. Typically, when a herb is uncertified, it is because we source it from a smaller farmer or cultivator that simply doesn't care to go through the extensive process or financial obligation that it requires to obtain the green circle.

We are incredibly meticulous about our sourcing process, and source each herb individually to ensure we are getting the best herb that we possibly can. Rest assured that all of our herbs and materials, certified organic or not, are potent, pure and of the highest quality that we could get our hands on!

Our herbs come from around the globe, but we always prioritize sourcing them locally whenever possible. For us, the most important factor is quality - we seek out the most potent, ethically harvested herbs, whether that means working with trusted local farmers or going straight to the country of origin where a plant naturally thrives.

Some herbs grow best in specific climates, and in those cases, we source directly from regions where they are cultivated sustainably and with care.

No matter where they come from, every herb we use is carefully selected, tested, and handled with integrity to ensure the best possible remedies for you.

You can find each herbs origin is listed on its product page.

We sure do! We are so grateful to have so many wonderful practitioner partners that we work alongside to help supply clients with the high quality herbal remedies and supplements that they need.

We are continually working toward sourcing more herbs locally whenever possible. We believe in supporting Canadian farmers and growers, and we’re always on the lookout for partners who can cultivate herbs on a larger scale while maintaining the integrity, potency, and sustainability we stand for.

As the demand for high-quality herbal remedies grows, so does our dedication to building relationships with local producers. By working with farmers who share our values, we can strengthen our local supply chain, reduce our ecological footprint, and ensure our remedies remain as fresh and vibrant as nature intended.

If you’re a grower passionate about cultivating medicinal plants, or a wildcrafter who wants somewhere to bring all of the plants you gather, we’d love to connect! Send us an email at hello@forageandfaire.com

An herbal tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made from herbs, typically using alcohol or glycerin to extract and preserve the plant’s beneficial compounds (we use a 100% organic cane alcohol). Tinctures allow you to access the medicinal properties of herbs in a bioavailable and easy-to-use form.

Tinctures are simple to take and can be used in a variety of ways:

• Drop directly under your tongue for fast, effective absorption.
• Dilute in water, tea, or juice if you prefer a milder taste.

Each tincture has a recommended dosage, which can typically be found on the bottle. However, dosage is going to vary from person to person and depends on what the intended use of the herb is.

We always recommend consulting a holistic healthcare practitioner, such as a clinical herbalist or naturopath, prior to using any new herbs.

When in doubt, start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.

As of May 2026, access to herbal tinctures is available to clients of Forage & Faire's herbal dispensary and certified practitioners only.

At Forage & Faire, we work closely with clients of ours and other herbal practitioners to compound and dispense herbal remedies from our collection of 450+ herbs based on individual's unique needs and the recommendations of the practitioner overseeing their care.

Whether it's a tincture, tea, essential oil or another traditional herbal preparation, every formula is made to order using high-quality herbs and crafted by hand in our herbal dispensary.

If you are looking for a herbal tincture or another remedy, please fill out our client intake form here.

We've been lucky enough to meet a lot of really incredible practitioners over the years, and we've developed a network of practitioners that we know and trust to pair our clients and customers with! If you're looking for a practitioner and want some help getting matched with the right one for you, please reach out to us and we will do our best to assist.

While most herbs are generally considered safe, not every herb is safe for every person, and many herbs can have adverse affects if they are not taken with knowledge and guidance.

With every herb, we recommend doing your research prior to use to ensure that you understand what the herb is, what it does, how it impacts the body and how it should or should not be used.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have any medicial conditions, we always recommend seeking professional advice from a certified healthcare practitioner prior to using any new herbs.

Herbs + tinctures are best stored in an airtight container (if you're storing a tincture, just ensure the dropper is screwed back on between uses), out of direct light and at room temperature.

Tinctures do not need to be refrigerated and are shelf stable.
