Goods From The Woods started working to demonstrate solutions to environmental problems resulting from poor use of natural resourecs in the early-1990s. George and Penny Frazier developed a number of social and environmental theories related to land use and human needs. Those theories are applied through the family business, Goods From The Woods in 1996, as a testing ground of the theory, "create a demand for a wild product, in order to create a demand for wilderness."
In 2001 the Frazier family began to work with other small farmers in creating "A Wildcrafter's Growers Group" . The first group project was to explore growing and adding value to native plants. The group received S.A.R.E. producers grant to help preserve native biodiversity through use on small farms.
The company creates botanical products from certified wild/organic native plants. They then grow the plants organically or work with small farm generally accepted practices in wild harvesting native plants. Part of the profits support restoration and community development which enhances Ozark Biodiversity. All plants are hand harvested and hand process. Distillation are done on farm with high quality control and only distilled water is used to produce flower essence.
Goods From The Woods has been working with wild harvested, native plant materials since 1994 and has be sold products on -line since 1998.
