How deep does a frog stand in water?
Knee deep :)
It’s all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.

The SCHE provides on a first request, first receive basis.
If you have placed a pre-order for the 2026 season, your requests will be offered first, in the
order in which those orders are received. If you have not yet placed your pre-order for the 2026
season, you can do so by sending an email with the herbs you would like receive, preferably
listed in alphabetical order by common name, and if you know the botanical name, include that
for the sake of clarity, noting plant part (root, herb, berry, bark, etcetera)
You can find plant parts that are offered for each herb on the price lists available here:
https://www.sonomaherbs.org/herb-exchange
Please include the amounts you want for each herb, and we will assume you want fresh herbs
unless you specify dried.
Please note that dried herbs are offered as available.
We ask a minimum of 1/2 lb per fresh herb request.
Herbal offerings, including prices and projected availability for fresh herbs can be found
here: https://www.sonomaherbs.org/herb-exchange
If you are not inclined to place your order for the entire season, you are welcome to request
herbs by the week. To do so, have your requests for herbs submitted by Wednesday, for pick
up or delivery the following Tuesday, given the parameters we have in place, as stated in the
above.
We are asking all buyers to support the overseeing non-profit entity, the Sonoma County Herb
Association, by being a member.
If the Association goes away, so does the Herb Exchange.
