Our Community

Oregon's Wild Harvest has earned the reputation of having the highest degree of consideration for our customers, employees, and community. We have made it a priority to operate a profitable company by first cultivating the foundation of that company in the workforce itself. Schedules allow for telecommuting, time for continuing education, and other valuable learning opportunities. Employees are encouraged to increase their knowledge, and are given opportunities to experience and grow in various positions. Thoughtful cultivation of our people is a strong foundation for producing the best herbal products.

Commitment to community is an integral part of Oregon's Wild Harvest. This commitment begins with the organic farm itself, which is open to the public on many summer weekends (see our organic farm tour schedule), offering free educational talks, samples, and tours. Founder, and herbalist, Randy Buresh speaks frequently to a wide variety of organizations on many aspects of herbal medicine and holistic health care. Randy considers this form of community service one of his greatest joys. For more information on Randy, click here.

Oregon's Wild Harvest supports many admirable organizations through donations of products and labor. We contribute to the local naturopathic college, the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), by providing bulk herbs to their medicinary and herbal supplements to local area residents via the NCNM outreach clinics, including:

  • Outside-In Clinic (for homeless teens)
  • Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Public Medical Care Clinic
  • InAct (rehabilitation programs)
  • Portland Alternative Health Center (for the homeless)
  • HIV and Hepatitis Patients
  • Homestreet Inc. (free clinic)
  • The Neighborhood Health Clinic (for pediatric patients who might otherwise not receive health care)

Other organizations we proudly support:

Memberships and monetary contributions to organizations that increase public knowledge and safety include the American Botanical Council, National Natural Foods Associations (NNFA), and the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA).

Additionally, numerous small gifts of hard-to-find plant materials and teaching aids have reached many educational institutions throughout the country.
