Calendula - Certified OG
Calendula
Calendula officinalis
Certified Organic | Grown & Processed at Meeting House Farm, Scarborough, Maine
Calendula is a luminous garden ally, known for its bright orange petals and long history of use in traditional apothecary practice. The flowers are harvested in full bloom throughout the growing season, with each blossom picked by hand at peak vitality.
Our Calendula is grown using regenerative and organic practices at Meeting House Farm in coastal Maine. Flowers are dried immediately after harvest in our on farm certified facility to preserve their vibrant color, aromatic resin, and plant integrity. From there, Calendula is prepared into a range of apothecary forms with full traceability from field to finished product.
Calendula is harvested continuously across the season, with flowers gathered every few days to ensure freshness, quality, and consistency.
Available Forms
Dried Herb
Certified organic whole Calendula flowers, gently dried and ready for infusion, blending, or apothecary use.
Extract
Fresh Calendula flowers prepared as an alcohol extract in small batches using organic grain alcohol made in Maine and pure Maine spring water. 1:2 ratio.
Infused Oil
Our Calendula infused oil is double extracted using two complementary methods. Dried flowers are first extracted in alcohol, then slowly infused in organic jojoba oil. The infusion is held at 80 °F for eight days to gently preserve delicate plant constituents. The oil is double filtered after infusion and never pressed, maintaining clarity and integrity without compromising quality.
Infused oils may naturally solidify at cooler temperatures around 40 °F. Bring to room temperature before use. Infused oils are typically ready to ship 2 to 3 weeks after your order is placed.
