The Original Plant Realized Skin Care The Farm-Sourced® Ethic The Spring Equinox was a reminder of new beginnings and for us at Benedetta, it is the time to assess our botanical needs for the upcoming year.

During the Harvest Season from April through September, my priority is to build continued relations with farmers and producers that respect and honor sustainability through the highest energetic means of cultivation and harvest.

I still require GC's to see the variance in constituents from harvest...

This is the time of year we reflect on the year past and set our intention(s) for the New Year. 2017 was certainly one to remember as our planet endured hurricanes, earthquakes, and for us in California, fires.
