Hi,
I'm new here, but I think that there are several U.S. herb farms that grow organically. Since the actual product is tested, this would seem to me to be a safety mechanism.
I'm on the West Coast and one herb company with a good reputation in these parts is Herb Pharm in Oregon.
There website is http://www.herb-pharm.com
The only problem with them is that they don't sell bulk dried herbs. If you are looking for suggestions for that, I'd check Michael Moore's (the herbalist, not the moviemaker) list at

Good luck!

Does anyone know a reliable source of pure skullcap? The fact that something comes from a big, reputable, company does not seem to make a difference in this case, since their supplier may have sent them impure skullcap. Thanks for any information.
