Went to visit Richo in Williams Oregon, yes Williams, that small town tucked in the mountains near Ashland Oregon that has not only Horizon Herbs seed company but is also the location of Herb Pharm maker of tinctures en masse for the American populace (think dark dropper bottle with yellow label and green writing). Richo was very accomodating to us right before he was to depart for Thanksgiving festivities but he still obliged us by taking us around the property in the pouring rain. After our tour we went to help him out on another property that he had just bought in the middle of "town" . There I asked him briefly what his favorite herb was: "St Johns Wort" he replied quickly. He then went onto explain how he used very few herbs these days, he could get by with just Goldenseal and Self-Heal and that as long as you had the respiratory and urinary tract covered you were pretty much set. When I asked about colleagues he just insisted that he didn't have time for that, and that us loading that wood on that truck was a good representation of what he does most of the time. I like that kind of simplicity, it is rare to find these days. Thank you Richo.
