Episode 22: Pioneer Women in Organics: Jane Hawley Stevens of Four Elements Organic Herbals

Jane Hawley Stevens raises certified organic medicinal herbs on her farm in North Freedom, Wisconsin, and turns them into creams, lip balms, and salves  that are sold nationwide. With about five acres in production, Four Elements Herbals produces a wide variety of annual and perennial medicinals in the Baraboo Bluffs of Wisconsin. We dig into medicinal herb production and post-harvest handling, meeting FDA regulations for processing and for selling herbal products, and how Jane has grown the Four Elements Herbal brand in the market place. Four Elements Herbals recently used a Value-Added Producer Grant to support the expansion of their product line, which in turn drove significant growth in the business overall. Jane shares her experiences managing growth and moving into a national market, as well as how she has passed the field production torch to a new generation and the ways that her job has changed as her business has grown. We also learn the meaning of the word, “garble.” The Farmer to Farmer Podcast is generously supported by Vermont Compost Company.

055: Jane Hawley Stevens on Scaling Up with Value Added Medicinal Herbs

If you asked me what an herb was, I’d tell you that I use them to add flavor to my meals and that my favorites are cilantro, parsley, rosemary, basil, thyme, &amp; bay leaf. I’d actually never think to use them to treat a headache or to breathe better or to soothe my skin. But I do understand that herbs are the original medicinals, and I’ve read that somewhere around ~1/3 of Americans use herbs for medicine.  My guest today is in a great position talk about all things herbs with me. Jane Stevens owns Four Elements Organic Herbals. Her herbal wellness products are grown, created and packaged from her farm in the Baraboo Hills of Wisconsin. Jane and I talk about what herbs are, the tradition of herbs as medicine, about the herbal roots of the modern pharmaceutical industry, what some common herbal remedies are, the naming convention of the first medicinal herbs, how people can use herbs for their health, some references/resources that Jane recommends that you look into to learn more, we touch a bit on why they aren’t regulated as drugs, if there are any dangers to using herbs and why you should always disclose the herbal supplements that you use to your doctor, and Jane’s recommendation for herbs that you might want to cultivate for your own personal use. Herbs have a long tradition of healing, they are the original medicinals… and should be recognized &amp; respected for their impact on our health. In this show, Jane recommends that you check out these authors; David Hoffman, Rosemary Gladstar, and Matthew Wood.
