ABOUT

Hi I’m Sarah Rose! Artist, Permaculture Designer, Herb Farmer & studying Herbalist at Mountainfarm Herbs.

Over five years ago I followed my passion, enthusiasm and a deep unknown call to return to the land and learn to live off-grid in the wild forests of Squamish Valley. After studying the principles of Permaculture, I understood that true sustainability and safety comes from knowing yourself and the world around you intimately. To know how to grow food and where your water comes from, to me, was true freedom and I was ready to immerse myself in that journey of remembrance.

This of course led me towards the trail marker of the plant path as these beautiful green beings were living all around me in the wild woods that surrounded my tiny home. I began to develop a relationship with the plants, I noticed them and they noticed me.

Through my own personal struggles with a subtle auto-immune disease, I began to work with Nature, and the plants, to help me heal my own body, from the outside-in, and the inside-out.

My current herbal knowledge comes from a place of rigorous self-study, countless in-person trainings and in-depth apprenticeships, mixed with an ever deepening relationship with the plants and a daily connection to the Earth herself, something I feel every practicing Herbalist should find within themselves if they wish to help others heal.

I am currently completing an online ‘Practical Herbalism Diploma Program’ with the ‘Wild Rose College of Natural Healing’ as well as some courses in Alchemical & Astro-Herbalism at ‘The School of Evolutionary Herbalism,’ both fabulous educational resources.

I truly believe we are all here to thrive, to access to our innate joy, and to live in a body free from pain and suffering, with a mind clear and balanced, and a soul conscious and connected. The plants can help us.

My herbal offerings come from a place of patience, practice and a deep ancestral knowing of how to grow and nurture plants, create healing herbal products, and offer my gifts back to the community, near or far. After all, my Norwegian last name ‘Bergland’ does in fact roughly translate to “Mountainfarm” so I must be right where I am supposed to be.
