Where to buy nettles?

[ccbloom]

Any help would be appreciated, I was hoping to make some nettle infusion. Thanks!

I saw two types just yesterday, now I cannot for the life of me remember wth I was! Perhaps Walgreens/CVS? I believe it was like only $10-12.00

Mountain Rose Herb Farm, Whole Foods carries Frontier brand for a fortune, but you can order through a Frontier co-op or open your own co-op account with them.

I prefer Mountain Rose. They have a fair price and are a really great company.

You do need to be careful where you source your nettles from. Nettles are not good to consume after they flower, as they produce a substance that is irritating to the kidneys after that time. Some companies don't care about that and buy up nettle from wholesalers who pick after flowering.

Now is also the best time to wild craft them, as pp mentioned, before they flower. You will know when you find a patch of stinging nettles....

If you want to buy from Mountain Rose Herbs, there's a link in the Resources sticky in H&H that you click, and MDC gets a small, well, kick-back isn't the word I'm really looking for, let's say referral fee, but I figure anything to help offset the costs of running the website helps.

This is it....

The biggest downside is that shipping can get expensive, depending on where you are, so I tend to lump my purchases together as much as I can.
