Looking for apothecary & skincare partners for locally made hydrosols in 2027

[David J Alvarez]

Hey Whatcom farmers and beyond,

I'm a local hydrosol distiller and I'm reaching out to any apothecaries, herbalists, and skincare brands who'd like a source of locally made hydrosol. I'd like to start conversations this fall so we can plan production for next summer and fall (2027).

I can distill just about any local herb or flower. Tell me what you want, and we can work it out however suits you best:

• You grow it: if you want to cultivate a specific plant for your line, I'll distill it for you.
• You source it: bring me material from a farm you already work with.
• I source it: tell me what you're after and I'll find growers and handle sourcing.

I'm open to contract hydrosol distillation in whatever shape works. If you're interested, message me with:

• Which plants or hydrosols you're looking for
• Rough quantities (liters/gallons per season)
• Whether you'd grow, source, or want me to source
• Any timing, packaging, or certification needs

Growers are welcome to reach out too if you have herbs or flowers you'd like to see put to use.

Looking forward to talking through it this season!

Thank you,

David
