Horizon Herbs

Were Strictly Medicinal, located in the town of Williams in Southern Oregon. Back in 1985 our family (the Cech family, pronounced check) started Horizon Herbs, LLC, growing gardens of diverse medicinal herbs. Because we were fascinated by seeds and medicinal herbs, and at the same time couldnt find seeds for many of the herbs in which we were inter... ested, we started collecting the seeds from our gardens and selling them through a homey hand illustrated catalog. The first catalog featured then 8-year-old daughter Nadjas drawing of a Calendula flower on the front. We still have a copy of that catalog kicking around somewhere!? Many seasons have come and gone, always moving us a bit closer to our goal of understanding the appropriate habitats, germination requirements, life cycles and uses of this totally diverse offering of fascinating medicinal herb, permaculture and vegetable plants. Our children have grown and now that they have children of their own. By the grace of Great Nature, we still work together here on the farm, making use of the talents of each memberdesign and construction, gardening and seedwork, drug plant analysis, art and photography, writing, poetry, laughter, cryingits all there! Mayche is the Mom. She has a warm heart and a sharp mind. Richo is her sweetie, the main guy, who sometimes goes by the grandfatherly name of Pops. He has travelled extensively (China, Africa, Central and South America, the USA) to find rare and unusual medicinal herb seeds and grows them out in our state certified greenhouses and intensively cultivated and cover cropped fields and gardens. In time, the Strictly Medicinal team will harvest, winnow, clean, weigh, lot number, germ test and package the seeds. Now that the farm and business have grown (started as Horizon Herbs, now called Strictly Medicinal), Richo and Mayche rely on a really great team of local folks to help them get the seeds and herbs out to the people, seeds nourished by homegrown compost, pure mountain air and water, love and breath.
