Do you own a business where you make and sell teas, salves, tinctures, and other health/beauty aids from products you grow and forage yourself? Do you have concerns about what you can say when marketing your product? Or perhaps you know botanical producers can inadvertently violate state laws by using the word “apothecary” in their business name and have questions?

Join us for our FREE webinar on National Herbalist Day (April 17, 2025)!

While it’s true that balms, tinctures, and other botanical wellness products can add a complimentary revenue stream to the farm business, knowing how to market these products can be difficult. From permissible marketing claims to what sales taxes apply, botanical products are governed by different laws than fresh produce, and it’s important to get clear on the nuances. Join us on April 17, 2025, at 11 AM CT for a free 90-minute webinar and gain solutions.

Please note: This webinar will address general botanical regulations but will only be able to provide state-specific information for the following five states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and North Dakota. Participants from other states will still get a lot of information from this webinar, but some state-specific information will require more research on their part.

Learn how to make, market, and sell botanical products in a legally resilient manner.

During this webinar, participants will learn:

• The ins and outs of crop insurance for botanical products: how to manage wild foraged products for insurability and get protection for value-added products,
• Foraging rules: rules and regulations regarding foraging on public lands,
• Marketing: how to craft legally resilient health-related claims,
• Regulation: how to uncover what agencies regulate your botanical products and what cGMPs to follow.
