Forest Herbs Research
Forest Herbs' plants are grown organically at our own farm, called Kaituna, adjacent to the million acre Kahurangi National Park. This is a temperate rainforest wilderness of New Zealand with the only intrusion being a few hiking tracks.
To replicate Horopito's natural growing environment the plants are grown in sheltered clearings in the forest.The Horopito bushes must be at least five years old before they are harvested.
Funds generated from the commercial activities of Forest Herbs Research
are used to search for new medicinal plants from New Zealand. Forest
