Our Story
We started in a rented barn, drying herbs by hand
A decade later, not much about the process has changed — we just got better at it.
Rootwild started with a question nobody could answer well
Why did every 'natural' tea on the shelf list eight ingredients we couldn't pronounce? We started drying our own chamomile to find out, and never really stopped.
What we won't compromise on
Our commitments
No synthetic shortcuts
Every grower we work with skips synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Small batches, always
We blend in batches small enough that one person can taste-test every run.
Packaging that breaks down
Compostable pouches, reused glass, and paper tape — no plastic film.
Growers we know by name
Long-term relationships with farms, not spot-market buying.
How we got here
A short timeline
Started drying herbs in a rented barn with two growers.
Opened our own drying house and first bottled essential oils.
Switched every pouch and bottle to compostable or reusable packaging.
Working with eleven small farms across three growing regions.
