Sara Katz

In 1979, Ed Smith and Sara Katz wanted to live a more natural lifestyle, so they moved to rural southern Oregon. There, they planted their first herb garden and founded a tiny company they called Herb Pharm. They soon developed a line of liquid herbal extracts and other proprietary herbal formulas.

According to Sara, they started Herb Pharm because they were completely and utterly fascinated by medicinal plants. They wanted to know these plants intimately and to experience their healing magic as often and in as many ways as possible.
