Dried Organic Calendula Flowers (Calendula officinalis) hand harvested and grown by Purple Sage Farms

Our Calendulas are a part of our permaculture growing methods where the plants come back year after year from the seeds they dropped the previous growing season. The plants that are best suited for our farm come back and we in turn develop a genetic line that is specifically acclimated to our sandy soil and high desert climate. The flowers have amazing color and are super fresh. When the flowers are infused in oil and the nutrients and essential oils are extracted, the oil changes color to a golden orange. This is a unique product of nature which means color, shape, and size may vary slightly from the pictures.

Our herbs and flowers are carefully hand harvested in their prime, when they taste their best, have the most nutritional value, and their essential oils are the most abundant. We gently air dry at low temperatures, preserving the flavor, color, and aroma of the plant while using minimal energy. We cut and sift the herbs by hand to keep the plants as whole as possible to reduce oxidation, which is a process of degradation. Therefore, this product may contain some stems and may require some sorting. Dried herbs and flowers can maintain quality for up to three years.
