Mountain Valley Botanics is a small, farm-based distillery that specializes in distilling fresh, organic herbs and flowers.  We have been farming our little mountain valley since 2014 and began distilling in 2019.  We are a husband and wife team, with Andrew tending to the soil and helping with harvests and Kristine tending to the plants and stills.  We love to work with plants of all kinds and have worked with aromatic herbs since our first little home garden in 2008.   We love distilling because it captures the beauty of these plants in a way unlike any other form of preservation.

 

All of the herbs and flowers that I distill are grown here in our garden.  We harvest them when they are at their aromatic peak and full of vitality and load them straight into our traditional copper stills.  I add fresh spring water, gentle heat, and allow the process to strip the plants of their volatile components and gently carry them through the steam to be cooled into a beautiful plant essence we know as hydrosol.  Our hydrosols are produced in a clean, dedicated facility where every aspect of their production can be carefully monitored and controlled.  I take every necessary precaution to be certain that our hydrosols are free from any potential contamination and packaged for the longest possible shelf life.  

​

I distill for a variety of customers, from large skin care brands to clinical aromatherapists, but I also distill for our own customers who use our hydrosols to enrich their daily lives.  I provide a size for every customer and every application, and value each customer equally.  No matter how a hydrosol is sold, each bottle is full of love and reverence for the plant and the process of distillation.  Our customers can feel the love and intention that goes into each product, and I hope that you'll give us a try.
