The course on medicinal herbs Agnès held for our group was extremely valuable and I think, all of us went home filled with a lot of inspiration and motivation and so much input to process!
We got introduced to her top 5 useful herbs, learned not only about their properties and features, but about what stage to harvest them at, in what form to use each most productively. We also made our own tea blend, got to try other forms of usage, e.g. tinctures and balms.
Overall it was such a well-put together workshop. We really appreciate all the personal insights Agnès shared and the extra effort she put into it. It definitely made our experience memorable and we’re looking forward to potentially plan more trips to Agnès farm for the Outdoor Club in the future!

Endast för utbildningssyfte. Denna information är inte avsedd att diagnostisera, behandla, bota eller förebygga någon sjukdom.
lokalt odlad och vildplockad
Nordiska Örter är Sveriges första medicinala örtagård med fokus på odling och försäljning av medicinalväxter. Dr. Agnès Brosset odlar 700 m² örter på Ulleråker Gård i Uppsala och handplockar vilda örter.
Produktionen är för liten för KRAV-certifiering, med odlingen sker utan pesticider eller syntetiska gödselmedel, bara jord, kompost och noggrant handarbete.
Här skapas äkta farm-to-remedies. Alla örter skördas, torkas och packas på plats för maximal kvalitet. Sortimentet är säsongsbetonat och finns i begränsade mängder.
Vår process
Harvest
We begin with nature’s best. I grow traditional medicinal varieties sourced from a trusted small-scale French herb producer. Plants grow in a living fertile soil, with a no-dig method. Every herb is harvested by hand in its perfect seasonal moment, when its aroma and potency are at their peak.
Drying & Garbling
Plants are dried gently within three days to preserve their color, strength, and scent. We then carefully sort dried herbs by hand with a large sieve. Thick stems are removed and desired parts are kepts to be packaged.
Time-tested remedies
The methods I use to process the plants are time-tested. Drying and handling techniques are inspired by the work of Zach Woods Herb Farm. The recipes come from traditional herbal knowledge and from modern extraction protocols well-established in the herbalist world.
Limited quantity
There is no industrial manufacture here. Every product comes straight from the garden and is crafted in a commercial drying room and kitchen. It is true local farm-to-remedies, with high freshness and full control at every step. Because all is processed by hand, the quantities remain limited.
