These healthy plump resin-filled cottonwood buds are sustainably hand-harvested in rural mountainous areas of the Pacific Northwest during the winter months (generally December thru March). We concentrate on sustainable harvesting of just the healthy plump resin-filled leaf buds. No pollution. No pesticides.
Cottonwood buds are stored immediately in the freezer after picking, and then shipped to Arizona for the air-drying process which usually takes 2-3 weeks. Alternatively we may use a dehydrator to help with the drying process. A case sheet is included with each order indicating harvest details (elevation, air temp, harvest location, etc.).

Packages are shipped via USPS First Class or Priority (includes tracking & insurance) within 24-48 hours of order. Local delivery available in the Seattle or Okanogan Valley areas. Overnight or international shipping options / estimates also available.
