Wildcrafted chickweed (Stellaria media) is a hardy little plant that thrives from the coldest northern regions to backyard gardens. Also known as chick wattles or mouse ear, chickweed has been a staple in folk traditions for centuries.

With its mild, earthy flavor, dried chickweed is often brewed into herbal tea or infused into oils for home apothecary projects. It’s a versatile herb that can also be added to vinegars, shampoos, soaps, and bath blends. In the kitchen, chickweed can be sprinkled on soups, salads, casseroles, stir-fries, or pasta, and it even works well as a base for homemade pesto.

    Ingredients: Wildcrafted Chickweed

    Are all of your ingredients organic?

    We love providing herbs that are fresh, pure, and of the highest quality. Whenever possible, we source from small family farms that grow with care for the land. Some of our partners are USDA-certified organic, while others practice organic methods but choose not to certify due to the cost.

    Because our own facility is not USDA-certified, we don’t label our finished products as “organic.” Instead, you’ll see “organic” noted in the ingredient lists when that particular ingredient was grown on a certified organic farm. We want to stay transparent while still offering you the cleanest, most responsibly grown ingredients we can find.

    We’re grateful to support local growers, and we believe that when ingredients are raised with integrity, you can taste and feel the difference in every cup.

    Herbs are legally sold by the ounce but often we get asked how many cups are in a bag.

    This herb has an approximate average of 16 cups per pound.

    Chickweed can be:

    • Steeped into herbal teas
    • Infused into oils or vinegars for topical or culinary projects
    • Blended into shampoos, soaps, or bath bags
    • Sprinkled fresh or dried on meals such as soups, salads, or pasta

    Made into pesto for a homestead twist on a classic
