Founded in 1989, Soli Organic was originally known as Shenandoah Growers, inspired by our start in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Since then, Soli Organic has grown into the nation’s leading grower of fresh organic culinary herbs, providing sustainable organic greens and produce to retailers coast to coast.

Our Produce

Why can’t I feed your organic herbs to my butterflies?
Why can’t I feed your organic herbs to my butterflies?
All of our living plants are grown 100% organically and are free of artificial pesticides. However, we do use a limited number of USDA-approved, organic methods to control pests. This includes applying beneficial microbes and natural extracts that are completely safe for human consumption, but not always safe for caterpillars.
If a plant is purchased for caterpillar feeding, the leaves should be thoroughly rinsed, soaked, and rinsed again before feeding. After rinsing, try feeding to a small number of caterpillars first before feeding it to the whole group.
If transplanting outdoors, rinse thoroughly with a garden sprayer after planting, and/or plant just before a big rain.
