Founded in 2015, our small family owned company is based in Elbe, Washington. Mountain Maus' Remedies is known for organically grown, sustainably sourced, and wild crafted products. Located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier in the little town of Elbe, Washington, Mountain Maus Remedies was born out of thankfulness and awe for the many plants and all their healing properties that were so amazingly created, and lovingly given to us from God Himself (Genesis 1:29). Here at Mountain Maus’ Remedies, our prized loose leaf teas, bulk herbs the essential oils and hydrosols, our herbal tinctures, and the various natural body care products that we provide are of the highest quality and finest ingredients.
Our herbs are all grown organically, cultivated without the use of pesticides, fertilized with composted manure from our own chickens, rabbits, alpacas and the water used is from our private well which is sustained by the Nisqually River. Only 20 miles upriver is where the Nisqually begins, at the Nisqually Glacier which is located on the south side of Mount Rainier. Our method of using organic rich soil, choosing to use companion plants instead of pesticides and pure glacier water to grow our herbs, plants and flowers, may be more labor intensive, but it takes a far less toll on our environment. Through soil building, crop rotation, careful harvesting and proper composting, all of which are sustainable agricultural practices, the end result is well worth it, not to mention the product is much healthier for our bodies.
We are also excited to share our new partnership with Aloha Ke Akua Plantation on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. This beautiful 47 acre plantation is family operated and is strictly cultivating organically grown and wild crafted herbs from the islands. Completely free of pesticides or chemical soil additives.
All of our herbs from our farm as well as the herbs that are cultivated by Aloha Ke Akua Plantation are hand picked, dried, meticulously analyzed, tested for freshness, aroma and taste before we package and deliver to you. No machinery is used in our fields.
We are not a Certified Organic Farm nor will we ever be! Certified Organic Herbs are loaded with "Approved Pesticides, "Approved Chemical Soil Additives", and bathed in Sulfur, heat treated etc. You can think what you want and say what you want, but we run test here and these herbs are not clean nor are they good for you. We also refuse to feed our farm animals "Certified Grain" which is required in order to use their dung for composting and fertilizer. We refuse to feed our animals "animal biproducts". If you don't know what that means, its feeding your animals bits and pieces of other animals. We do not have a Certified Organic Certification. If you require Certified Organic Herbs, it is at your own discretion. If you require a C/A for the Certified Organic Herbs you purchase from us, we will be happy to supply you with our suppliers documents.
We are a Christian based organization and take pride in our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As Jesus had said in Mark 16:15, we as believers in Him are to share the gospel with all creation, so we include in every order that is shipped a gospel message to you.
Bio: Patricia ‘Maus’ Delgado is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She retired as a CPA, has always had a love of plants and gardening, and in the fall of 2014 she had a desire to provide family members with an alternative to pharmaceuticals and simply asked God for direction. She began learning and studying about various plants and natural remedies that have been lost over time and the Lord increased her knowledge and love for not only plants, but in being a vessel to help others with her knowledge of plants and their medicinal properties. Although it started with a desire to help out family, a business blossomed and she is now a Master Herbalist and is proud to say that the business, Mountain Maus Remedies, was born out of the thankfulness and awe for the many plants and all their healing properties that were so amazingly created, and lovingly given to all of us from God Himself!
