We grow over 16 different types of flowers on our skincare farm and use over 7 in our products 🌷🌸🌼 In August, calendula, alfalfa, borage, meadowsweet, and arnica are all hand-picked one by one at their peak potency by the very team that planted them only a few short months back. They are carefully moved to the greenhouse and placed on drying racks, and then left out to dry for a few days to a week — depending on humidity levels. Luckily, Doreen, our garden manager, is an expert and has perfected the proper timing. Once determined to be dry by Doreen and her team, the flowers are carefully garbled and cleaned to remove any non-nutritive stems and leaves. When deemed ready, the dried flowers are carted along the dirt road up to the office buildings (typically by golf cart — truly). One more step before they officially go from soil to skincare #greenyourbeautyroutine #tataharper #farmlife #summertime #harvesting
