Today NPR’s morning edition introduced a Eugene, Oregon-based company Mountain Rose Herbs, which undergoes substantial growth despite the great recession. Eugene, Oregon was a place we planned to relocate and visited last year. Herbs or plants in a broader sense are my lifelong passion, and organics are my new-found interest. All the above three reasons led me into an online research on this company Mountain Rose Herbs.
Since 1987, Mountain Rose Herbs offers one of the most thorough selections of certified organic herbs, spices and botanicals in the United States. Dried herbs, plant extracts, essential oils are among their products, sustainability and fair trade are their pledge, executive pay cap is the lowest level nationwide, not more than 3.5 times of the entry level pay.
Another interesting finding is the Columbines School of Botanical Studies, also based in Eugene, Oregon, which offers an educational program ranging from entry level lectures in community herbalism to a two plus year program including botany, ecology, wildcrafting, plant pharmacy, physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical herbalism.
With all these interesting people, business, and education opportunities, I might have to reconsider our relocation plan.
