Calendula

Calendula
Calendula officinalis

Grown & Processed by a Meeting House Collaborative farm in 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 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.
