History: There are numerous species of this plant, over a hundred. These grow in a wide variety of environments, and that characterizes the landscape of St. Lawrence Valley and North America in general. Golden rod easily spreads owing to its prolific downy fruits (between 15 000 and 20 000 by plant). Once planted, golden rod finds its way with its rhizomes.  

Organic : This oil is Organic but not certified. This type of Organic Oil is usually farmed organically but not certified, normally because there is no certifying agency in the area where it is grown. Chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers are not used. Instead the products are cultivated using traditional farming methods. Soil fertility is built; natural systems are worked with, not against; there is minimal, if any damage to the environment, and most importantly, Mother Nature is being respected.
