I only use the red clover blossom in my tinctures. Unfortunately, I spent big money & many hours digging out the trash in this purchase including grass, wheat, leaves, stems, etc. But I big disappointment - bag wasn't vacuum sealed, the clover did not smell or look fresh. Will not order again.
Easy to find the product I was searching for. This season we have none in our area. Thanks!
Great web site. Easy to navigate. Helpful product commentary. Thanks!
I ordered 1 pound of the opium poppy seeds, I have never received my order so I suggest not to order from herb co untill further notice. If they deliver my order I will change my rating.
I ordered 1 pound of the opium poppy seeds, I will plant for my clients as decorations, thanks so much. They better sprout and grow. Because if not I won't order from you again, if anyone else has ordered these are they actually the opium poppy? And was you able to harvest the seeds from the pods after growing season
Great product, looking forward to replenishing our supply.

Good easy website to navigate
Have yet to receive my order
Products are great,
But I must resubmit the sales tax info (state, etc) everytime I add an item. Even if I'm not changing my address, just adding items, system insists I continually update my address.
