Honeybabe Herbs is a radical herbal product company.
Radical means “from the root”: think restructuring, starting from scratch. Our goal is to get back to the basics of wellness and empower folks to grow from there.
Our products guide you to redefine wellness, to restructure the way you see yourself in relationship with your body, with plants, with your community. Honeybabe meets you where you are and encourages you to step back into your body. We’ll support you on your journey, one step at a time.

We create local, seasonal, land-based products in small batches, growing and ethically wildcrafting ingredients whenever possible.
All of our products are developed on Vancouver Island by a Community Herbalist using evidence-based research, traditional knowledge and historical information.
Packaging
All packaging, labels and shipping material were chosen with the environment in mind. Our tea pouches and labels are home-compostable, and all containers are reusable, recyclable and as plastic-free as possible. We are always working towards lessening our environmental impact.
Empowerment
Our products are designed to support and empower you to take hold of your own wellness and feel safe and comfortable in your body. You are in the driver’s seat, we’re just here to guide you when you need, and to make you a delicious cup of tea.
Community Care
We practice herbalism from a harm-reduction standpoint, where everyone can feel seen and held exactly as they are. Everyone deserves to feel at home in their bodies. We want to build a resilient, diverse and loving community and nurture relationships with plants, with others, and with ourselves.
Wildcrafting
We ethically wildcraft only a select few ingredients, with strict guidelines, to ensure that we tread lightly on the Earth. We only wildcraft plants which are abundant & thriving, never threatened or culturally important ones, and even then, we harvest very little, and with much gratitude
Education
Nobody knows everything—and indeed, we should be wary of those who claim that they do. But we do know something, and that is that the world of holistic wellness can be intimidating. Honeybabe aims to distill the mountains of information into an accessible format so you can understand the whats, whys, hows and nuance. No gatekeeping here!
Sourcing
We source bulk dried herbs from local, vetted producers who share our thoughts on ethical sourcing and quality standards. We also grow small amounts of ingredients in our home garden when possible. Someday, maybe, there will be a Honeybabe Herbs farm!
We respectfully acknowledge that the land we gather and work on is the Unceded Traditional Territory of the K'ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of this land.
