Our shop is located in the historic Avenues neighborhood of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. We offer over 300 organic herbs in bulk, handcrafted tinctures, salves, balms, oils, teas, and more. We carry formulas from many herbal traditions and have a unique selection of books and resources. If you're new to working with herbs, we can help! If you're an experienced medicine-maker, we've got all your supplies on hand.
We work directly with farmers and cooperatives to source our vibrant herbs, and grow many of them ourselves. You won't find dry bulk herbs this colorful, aromatic, or potent anywhere else!
Our herb prices are meant to support community wellness and our work directly empowers herb farmers across the world. We carry only ethically-sourced organic herbs; never wild-harvested. We do not stock herbs that are part of closed indigenous practices, are threatened or over-harvested, or those whose harvesting leaves a negative impact on land. Our staff herbalists can help you find the perfect fit for your plant medicine needs, and we can compound tailor-made remedies for you right here in our apothecary! For large bulk herb orders, feel free to call or email in advance to save time. |

Everything you see with the Greenthread name has a few things in common...
First, they are formulated by us using ancient methods of herbal harmonizing and modern inspirations.
Second, they are all crafted by hand in super-small batches by the tides of the moon.
Finally, they are made in a sacred space with ritual empowerment and have a profound amount of love within.

Our handcrafted herbal tinctures are made using all organic herbs, locally-sourced alcohols whenever possible, and powerful methods of extraction. You may notice that our tinctures are incredibly fragrant, colorful, potent in flavor, and are completely clean and translucent. This is because we use Josh's intensive double-filtering method that relies on two fibers, cotton and hemp, to completely pull out all bulk plant material before they're put in bottles. This extends the lifespan of the medicine nearly infinitely and allows for a more direct experience of the plant's sensory engagements.
O I L S & B A L M S
Our oils are crafted the old way- with time and patience. We use absolutely no heat in our oil extraction process, relying instead on the efficacy of time. We are not much fond of essential oils and consider them to be specialized forms of medicine that are far too often overused and applied incorrectly. Most of our oils and balms contain no essential oils or other fragrances- we'd rather you enjoy the subtle scents of the herbs, oils, and waxes themselves. When we do call on essential oils, it is because their intense strength is needed and we work with them in properly diluted forms. We are anti-MLM and do not support any essential oil brands that operate on MLM or any similar model.

We offer a wide range of organic herbal teas for many goals, and have over 300 individual herbs we can work with to create custom blends for you when you visit.

Josh handcrafts a variety of medicines that touch on the level of spirit. Essences, sprays, incense, anointing balms & oils, and more can be found to connect your deepest self to the power of the plants.
S E A S O N A L O F F E R I N G S
Every season you'll find us busy crafting relevant and meaningful medicines to help you align with the rhythms of nature. From oxymels and syrups to limited-run tinctures and special incense blends, we've always got something new to share!
