Wormwood Artemesia Absinthe

Certified Organic Wormwood – Artemisia’s Bitter Gift

Ancient Herb of Myth
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) stands among herbalism’s most storied plants, carrying a reputation as intensely bitter as it is historically significant. Named for Artemis, the Greek goddess of the wild hunt, this silvery-green herb has woven through human culture for millennia—from ancient Greek wellness practices to medieval European brewing traditions, from folklore and love potions to its famous role in absinthe and vermouth.

From Our Certified Organic Farm
Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers at Keewaydin Farms in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region, our wormwood thrives in well-drained soil, producing deeply segmented silver-green leaves with its characteristic aromatic, intensely bitter profile. Hand-harvested and carefully dried to preserve its potent constituents and distinctive sage-like fragrance.

Herbalist’s Treasury
For centuries, European herbalists valued wormwood in bitter preparations. The herb found its way into traditional brewing before hops became standard, and later became essential to liqueur-making—most notably absinthe and vermouth, where its bitterness and green hue play starring roles. Historical households hung dried bundles in pantries and closets, appreciating both its strong scent and pest-deterring properties. In the garden, wormwood serves as a companion plant, naturally discouraging unwanted insects. The intensely bitter taste—captured in the ancient saying “as bitter as wormwood”—makes this a powerful addition to bitter formulations and botanical studies. Its folklore connections to dreams and protection have also made it a plant of interest in traditional practices and herbal crafts.
