ABOUT
HELLO AND Welcome to Bear Lake Botanicals, where my passion for the natural world drives me to share these potent and pure herbal creations with you.
Nestled on our small 5-acre farm in rural Northern Michigan, we specialize in crafting herbal salves, tinctures, and teas. Our farm boasts a diverse range of gardens, including a vegetable garden, medicinal herb garden, berry garden, lavender patch, wildflower sanctuary, and mushroom logs, complemented by beautiful flower beds throughout the property. With utmost care, we start all our seeds indoors in our grow room or greenhouse.
As a small company, we take pride in being hands-on in every aspect of our process. From growing and foraging to harvesting, processing, creating products, bottling, labeling, website maintenance, shipping, and customer service – we do it all. Each tea blend and remedy is meticulously handcrafted in small batches to ensure freshness and potency. We source our plants from seed, nature, local apothecaries, herb farms, co-ops, farmers markets, or reputable companies like Mountain Rose Herbs and Starwest Botanicals when local options are not available.
