About Taos Herb Company
Tina worked the morning shift with her two-year-old son, Francis. She remembers when daily sales of $25 was good! Rob worked days after his shift working as a Histology lab tech. Fritz "did the books" at the end of the day after his shift as surgical scrub tech and EMT at Holy Cross Hospital.
A wonderful thing happened one day in 1988 - Tina received her first paycheck from the business!
There has been no turning back. Today Taos Herb Company manufactures over 400 herbally-based items for a local, national and international market.
In the mid 1600's explorer Coronado colonized northern New Mexico. The Pueblo people didn't sit well with this and turmoil ensued. Eventually the Spanish and Indian cultures began to live with some peace, and information was shared about the local medicinal plants.
The Spanish people relied on Curanderas and Sobaderas for their healing needs and remedios. Herbal medicine was handed down from each generation until a change began to occur.
When Holy Cross Hospital was built in the 1930s in Taos, people began to abandon their tradition of using medicinal herbs. As the younger generations lost interest in the elders' information and sought new medical treatments, the use of herbs began to be less familiar.
Rob, Julie, Tina and Fritz were not alone in realizing how important saving this tradition was and Taos Herb Company found a niche in this "herb wise" community where the long lived, time-honored tradition using herbs for medicine was established.
Today, the Taos Herb Company is an energetic exchange of information and customized service. In addition to the manufacturing of herbally-based products, Taos Herb Company offers custom-blend extracts and teas created for Taos Herb Company customers.
Since 1981, Taos Herb Company has steadily grown and served our local and now, worldwide, community. At Taos Herb Company we continue the tradition, manufacturing quality herbal products and providing the excellent customer service that we have come to be known for.
