🚜 Jeff Carpenter developed his love and understanding of herbs through an apprenticeship with Rosemary Gladstar and as the former co-owner of Sage Mountain Herb Products and the International Herb Symposium. Since those early days, Jeff's work as a farmer, agricultural consultant, author, educator and researcher has focused on the cultivation, conservation, and marketing of medicinal herbs.

🌿 Melanie Carpenter grew up at Sage Mountain with her Step-Mother and herbal visionary, Rosemary Gladstar. It was from Rosemary that Melanie first cultivated her love for medicinal plants. For the last twenty-six years Melanie has worked in the field of medicinal herbs as a farmer, mother, grandmother, community herbalist, and educator.
