BEHIND THE COMPANY
Flourish Apothecary was created out of a passion for providing high-quality, small-batch, natural health products from local origins.
We had a strong desire to create products that not only heal our bodies, but are also kind to the planet and support our local economy as well. Many companies work hard to maintain one or two of these qualities, but we strive to do even better. We are proud to work directly with local foragers, wildcrafters, and organic farmers who lovingly and sustainably harvest every herb that goes into our products. We source all of our packaging materials as close to home as possible, with an emphasis on supporting other small, local businesses. When making purchasing decisions, we aim to lower our carbon footprint while supporting our neighbors with jobs and opportunities to enhance our local economy. We are committed to providing the highest quality herbal products for our customers, and are always open to improvement; if there is ever something you feel we could be doing even better, please let us know here.
