Wildcrafted
is the practice of harvesting, or gathering, plants from their natural or “wild” habitat and native growing regions. These herbs and botanicals are non-cultivated and tend to be much more resilient than their cultivated counter parts. Because wild herbs are forced to compete against other vegetation for nutrients and have to sustain the harsh elements of their environment, they are usually stronger and more potent than cultivated herbs. Not only is wildcrafting good for the people consuming these ingredients, it’s also beneficial to the environment. I'm also not worried about quantitative production like big brands. I care about quality of the product and people's health. Can't get as well with low quality herbs as you can with wildcrafted.
Organic
Organically grown herbs are cultivated in a controlled environment with minimal use of "organic" pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or herbicides. Realistically, you can't have the word organic and pesticides next to each other. Just doesn't work. There is minimal use of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and they still have some chemicals.
Conventional
ALL Wholesale herb and spice distributors conventionally grow ingredients in a controlled environment that uses fertilizers and pesticides to promote their growth. This method allows for larger varieties of herbs which increases production rates. Though conventional methods of growing, wholesale herbs and botanicals are typically avoided due to the chemicals that are utilized, this isn't a safe practice to use.
