Dandelion Root - Grown Organically
Dandelion roots
Taraxacum spp
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 Dandelion Roots in May and June.
