About
About the S.C.H.A
The Sonoma County Herb Association received it's non profit status as a 501c3 in 1993. Since then we have become a vibrant part of the Sonoma County agricultural and healing communities.
We are an eclectic group of herbalists: herb growers, medicine makers, educators, practitioners, gardeners and students. Our membership is concentrated in Sonoma County, but includes herbalists throughout Northern California and beyond.
Throughout the year we sponsor herbal events and fundraisers focusing on community building and herbal and sustainability education. We also host the Sonoma County Herb Exchange, a clearinghouse providing the highest quality locally and ecologically grown herbs to our local community and beyond.
Check back frequently to see what’s coming up, or join our email list. Take time to peruse our Herbal Resource Guide and familiarize yourself with the best herbal businesses and practitioners in the region. We encourage you to join the SCHA!
