Shopping is easy
November 28, 2025
Updated review

I found the shopping with your company online to be relatively easy and you've had everything I've wanted so far except something called cats leaf. I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Shipping was a little slow, but that seems to be kind of a normal thing right now with a lot of companies. Overall, I would recommend your company to anyone.

Searching for what I was looking for was very easy and you had everything I was wanting, plus a lot more that I will most likely get in the future.

I Order From The Best
November 26, 2025
Updated review

Every order experience I've made has been Seamless. I always receive the highest quality products. I have been placing orders from Monterey Bay Herb Company for several years now. I would highly recommend all of their products to anyone need the very best products. I use their products daily and they contribute to my health and well being. At almost 70 years of age, I very rarely have a pain. I can move freely and do anything I choose to. I am still in active employment and I feel great everyday. Do yourself and your body a favor and order and use their products. You'll be glad you did... j. gantt

They Only Have Natures Very Best
November 29, 2024
Previous review

Monterey Bay is my source for the best herbs available. When making personal medicine for good health you always look for 100% ingredients in their natural condition just as nature made them. I never have worries of the quality of my herbs when I buy from Monterey Bay. You can't find a better product. I compare their products to what I wild forage myself. Give em' a try. You'll be glad you did.

Shopping on Herb Co. Website was incredibly easy — everything was simple to navigate, the product descriptions were clear, and checkout was fast and seamless. My order arrived beautifully packaged, and the quality of the herbal products is outstanding. They are my go to for large quantity dried herbs.

An A+ From a Retired College Instructor
November 24, 2025
Updated review

This is my first time ordering from Monterey Bay Herb Company and I was stunned by the reasonable prices on BIG bags of dried, crushed plants like elderberries, mullein leaves, and dandelion leaves, which I put in my daily oatmeal for a health boost. At first, I looked at ebay and other online merchants, but they mostly had woefully tiny bags at prices that were much too inflated. As my subject line for this post indicates, Monterey Bay Herb Company receives an A+ from a retired college instructor who loves the quality product, the amble quantity, and the reasonable price. Plus, I can find all of the items I want without having to shop from all kinds of different merchants with all of the shipping fees adding up. I think I will be a customer for a long time!

Awesome Product And Shipping
November 22, 2025
Updated review

The service is expedient with just the USPS Priority mail. The product was fresh and not stale (whole bilberries) and the price+shipping beat their competition in both price and shipping (receiving their product quickly) Big time THUMBS UP! I've bought this in the past and very pleased!

Herbs I need are often out of stock
November 21, 2025
Updated review

I love your herbs and have to order every 2 weeks which I try to order enough to get free shipping, but the company is always out of the important highly used herbs and sure enough as soon as I have already placed an order, days later it comes back in stock so I have to place another order and have to pay 1/2 the cost in shipping just to get those couple of herbs
