The Herb Group

The Herb Group, an LLC formed in 2002, was designed to provide national retailers an alternative to the traditional shipping model of current herb suppliers. Rather than air shipping to customers across the nation from one distant shipping point, The Herb Group utilizes a network of established growers, packers and shippers strategically located throughout the nation to provide in most cases same-day delivery by refrigerated truck. The advantages are clear: better cold chain management; less reliance on unpredictable airline schedules; and faster delivery. The result: fresher, on-time product for your customers with unrivaled fill rates to boot.

Food Safety

GAP, GMP, HACCP. You may have heard of these acronyms that are becoming increasingly important in our quest for better food safety. But what do these terms mean?

GAP, or Good Agricultural Practices, focuses on the four basic components of production: soil, water, hands, and surfaces. By developing guidelines to address potential risks associated with each of these components, both the quality and safety of harvested produce can be enhanced.

GMP, or Good Manufacturing Practices, is the cornerstone of food quality and safety. GMP includes a food safety plan that incorporates water, product and facility testing.

HACCP, or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, is a systematic seven step process that identifies “Critical Control Points” in the production process—and seeks to eliminate the risk posed at those points.

HerbCo implements all three processes - GMP, GAP and HACCP - in its day to day operations.
