Ashwagandha Root

Ashwagandha roots. Withania somnifera.

Grown organically and regeneratively by one of the Meeting House Farm Collaborative Farms. Available chipped.

Chipped roots 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 Ashwagandha in late October.

In the Apothecary:

Herbal Action:  Nervine, adaptogen, tonic, sedative. Focus and energy builder.

From our Experience:

Ashwagandha is traditionally boiled in milk and drunk warm with turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla and rose extracts.  Milk is said to activate the potency of the root.

Looking for a wonderful bedtime ritual of self-care? Ashwagandha powder makes a delicious moon milk.  Combine 1 teaspoon with coconut milk, honey, turmeric and rose extract.
