Regenerative organic agriculture expands beyond the best practices of organic farming by improving the health and vitality of the entire ecosystem – starting with the soil. At Starwest Botanicals, we believe in sourcing in a way that improves soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability through regenerative practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and integrating diverse plant species. We are committed to partnering with farmers who are certified in these practices, which help capture and store carbon, mitigate climate change, and also support water retention, nutrient cycling, and wildlife habitats. Together, we are contributing to a resilient and holistic farming system that leads to improved outcomes for farmers and consumers alike.
As an industry leader in organic herbs and spices since 1975, Starwest Botanicals now provides over 100 Regenerative Organic Certified ingredients for large-scale food and beverage manufactures. Our high-quality ingredients are sourced directly from our small-scale farmer partners dedicated to regenerative principles, ensuring that our products contribute to both ecological sustainability, animal and farmer welfare, and improved food systems. By choosing regenerative organic ingredients from Starwest Botanicals, you are supporting practices that prioritize the health of the planet and the well-being of future generations.
At Starwest, we are partnering directly with small scale farmers across the globe to help them achieve Regenerative Organic certification.
