Our Beginnings

Some have wondered, what does "Elfin" in our name mean? We're near a natural preserve called the Elfin Forest in Los Osos, California. It's a 90-acre preserve filled with coast live oaks that are hundreds of years old, but small (elfin) in size. For an herb farm, we're small too, so Elfin Herb Farm became our name in September 2002.

The roots of the Elfin Herb Farm began 18 years ago as Staci planted an apothecary garden for making herbal remedies for her newborn son and family. As the number of people she made the remedies for grew, so did the gardens. Today, we have many varieties of herbs to choose from for our products.

The herbs are hand tended using organic methods and following patterns in nature. This way we have high yields and use our land as efficiently as possible.
