When we launched the Mountain Rose Herbs Journal in 2021, our goal was to publish a free volume twice a year to offer our readers information on herbalism, organics, sustainability, and more. We love the print edition of this publication, but as we continually assess our environmental impact and the resources we use, we are increasingly aware of its carbon footprint. Now, we're embracing digital technology to bring you the Mountain Rose Herbs Journal paper-free!

Additionally, each article is available in PDF form to view, download, and print.
