Culinary herbs and teas grown on Whidbey Island
We are a small-scale farm growing medicinal and culinary plants, crafting herbal teas using only ingredients grown here on the farm
Wilhardt Woods is a small-scale venture focused on plants that nurture and heal, and on healthy, regenerative growing practices.
We have been planting and growing on our seven-acre property on South Whidbey Island for more than a decade. Our herbal teas are made exclusively with plants we grow here on the farm, and are sold locally when available.
More than half of the land we steward is healthy second-growth forest, which we maintain for long-term preservation. Roughly three acres was open, mowed pasture when we moved here. Since then, we have planted hundreds of native trees and shrubs to encourage wildlife diversity & ecosystem restoration. We have also established permaculture-style orchards anchored by various fruit & nut trees, berry bushes, and gardens for annuals and perennials.
​
We love perennials, and many of the plants we grow serve multiple purposes — food & medicine for wildlife, food & medicine for humans, beauty, ecosystem support, wildlife habitat, climate resilience, soil building.
Supporting and nurturing diverse and abundant life is a primary goal as we continue to experiment with plants.
