Listen Later

This week on Everything You Didn’t Know About Herbalism, Thomas sits down with someone many of our listeners are likely familiar with, Steven Yeager. Proudly serving as the Vice President of Quality and Regulatory Affairs for Mountain Rose Herbs, Steven joins us for a different style of interview from his usual entertaining and educational Plant Walks with Howie Brownstein. Listen in as Thomas and Steven take a deep dive analysis into the numerous facets involved within Quality Control, and how these tedious steps are crucial to upholding Mountain Rose Herb’s standards for quality in every herbal product we offer. From the time of procurement to when a box of herbal goodness arrives at your doorstep, rest assured that quality is always at the forefront of our minds throughout each step of the botanical journey to you.

As always, we thank you for joining us for a new type of botanical adventure and are honored to have you join us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from will be invaluable to this new series. So please email us at [email protected] to let us know what problem you want us to tackle next within the vast world of herbalism.
