In the verdant landscapes of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Bluestem Botanicals blossoms as a certified organic herb farm and processor since its roots in 2008. Led by founders Linda Shanahan, an herbalist and registered nurse, and Eric Vander Hyde, an herb farmer and controls engineer, the mission is clear: connecting people with plants for nourishment, healing, and a resilient future.
Harvesting Nature’s Bounty:
Bluestem is not your ordinary herb farm—it’s an ode to ecology, valuing people over profit. With a mission to foster harmony with natural systems, Linda and Eric have cultivated over 70 aromatic and medicinal crops. Specializing in whole plant, freshly harvested, farm-grown, and processed certified organic herbal extracts, Bluestem caters to the herbal wellness and craft drinks industries.
Commitment to Quality:
Proud members of the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) and adhering to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Bluestem ensures the highest standards in their processes. But what truly sets them apart is their commitment to whole-plant goodness, crafting products derived from nature, not artificial flavorings.
