What is it?

The Artemisia CSA is our Community Supported Apothecary, inspired by the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), designed to support our local community in an integrative and individual way. It was named after osha root, a potent healer native to New Mexico. By providing this CSA, we are strengthening our relationship to our community through seasonal herbal shares which include not only hand crafted products, but education on herbalism in the home. Each share follows the seasons of fall, winter, spring, and summer, totaling 4 CSA boxes.

The products that are included in a share contain herbs that are likely to be needed during that time of year.  For example, a spring share would include a nettles tincture or our allergy blend for those who suffer from seasonal allergies, or a spring detox vinegar / tea.  A winter share would include something like our cough syrup or our Echinacea Osha tincture.

We practice bioregional herbalism, in that the majority of the herbs we use are place based or native to New Mexico, however we do use some herbs that you cannot find in this area.  Any herbs that we use are purchased from reputable sources and are either ethically wildcrafted or organically cultivated.

We offer flexibility and strive to cater to individual needs for our shares.  Our registration form provides an opportunity for participants to tell us about any specific ailments or issues they would like to address (skin problems, autoimmune issues, family needs, etc.) so that we can cater parts of the CSA (such as our tinctures) to best suit the needs of the individual, and provide a share that is going to work well with their own / their family’s bodies. 

Shares run March through December, and follow the seasonal equinoxes and solstices. Shares will be available for pickup during the weeks of March 20th, June 21st, and September 22nd, and December 21st.

It is important to us to be able to provide you with everything you need, so we ask that the family size and individual share are paid in full up front. We do provide an extenuating circumstances option if needed, where our members are able to pay half of the cost up front, and the remaining half prior to receiving their 3rd share. Please e-mail us if you need assistance at artemisiaherbsnm@gmail.com.

If you would like to become part of the Community Supported Apothecary Family, and find you are coming in after the season has started, we are happy to pro-rate your cost for the remaining shares available, or you may receive previous shares by picking them up at our facility.

Please e-mail us prior to registering if you are joining after the season has started.
