Arnica

Dried Arnica. Arnica montana.

Grown organically and regeneratively by one of the Meeting House Farm Collaborative Farms. Plants are dried immediately after harvest in an on-farm drying facility to maximize potency and preserve quality.

Pre-orders are closed until Spring of 2024.

For customers who pre-ordered from our 2023 harvest, you were put into a queue for the next harvested pound. Orders will ship out in the order they were received.

Smaller bags (1 oz and 4 oz sizes) will be made available once we have filled all pre-orders.

We typically harvest Arnica flowers in June & July.

From our Experience:

Dry arnica flowers and infuse in oil to make a healing topical salve.  Arnica tends to "puff" as it dries. Do not despair - the medicinal qualities are still there.  An arnica extract can be used as a topical spray.
