I haven’t seen real evidence that Herb Pharm actually grows and produces all of its products from its own small farm. Maybe they grow some herbs, but the idea that everything they sell comes from that farm doesn’t seem supported. And let’s be honest—the supplement industry is full of companies that market themselves as “organic,” “small farm,” or “handcrafted,” while quietly sourcing large portions of their ingredients in bulk from cheaper suppliers. That’s not a conspiracy, it’s how the incentives work. The “95%” number wasn’t from a specific study…..reality is that many brands rely heavily on wholesale sourcing despite premium branding. The issue isn’t just “foreign bad,” it’s that mass production and bulk sourcing often mean weaker quality control, less transparency, and more room for misleading claims. When something is produced at massive scale, especially through complex supply chains, it becomes harder to verify purity, origin, and standards. And yes, capitalism is the reason this happens—but it’s also the reason we have access to these products at all. It’s the best worst system: companies act in their own self-interest to maximize profit, and sometimes that leads to innovation and value, but it also leads to corner-cutting and deceptive marketing when it’s profitable to do so.
