Happy Earth Month, neighbors! In its honor, we're highlighting products and brands weaving sustainability and regeneration into their daily details. May we all treat our daily choices like they matter for the future wellbeing of our people and our planet.

Gaia ® Herbs—Supplements for a Healthier Future At Gaia Herbs, the seeds of sustainability are sown in the rich, carbon-sequestering soils of the Gaia Herbs Farm in North Carolina. Here, they grow 20–40 species of herbs every year using organic, biodynamic, and regenerative practices, which help o set the CO2 emissions of their operating facility through carbon sequestration on the farm. The farm is abundant with biodiversity, including pollinator-friendly plants for monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. It’s been Certified Organic since 1997 with 270 acres (of 350) now Regenerative Organic Certified ® . What Gaia can’t grow on its farm is ethically sourced from around the world. And with the brand’s unique traceability tool, Meet Your Herbs ® , you can discover precisely what’s in every bottle, including where it’s sourced from, parts of the herb used, and quality testing results.
