Scale of German chamomile farming

At FIELD AND FOREST large-scale German chamomile cultivation means we can deliver consistent quality and volume year-round to our clients in the herbal tea, natural cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and wellness industries. With over 500 ha of organic chamomile fields, the size of our operations allows us to invest in advanced harvesting and processing technologies, reducing post-harvest time and preserving the essential oils content and bioactive compounds in chamomile plants.

Traceability and transparency of organic medicinal plant materials

The way we differ on the market is not just the scale of our organic farming and processing operations or the B2B approach, but the transparency and sustainability of our farm field management. FIELD AND FOREST is organically certified according to Council Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 for both organic farming and processing activities. Each batch of chamomile raw material is fully traceable to its precise field of origin, and in some cases, to the exact square meters. Advanced systems and modern harvesting technology enable recording of every truckload of German chamomile coming from the fields. The company ensures quality by managing the entire production process—from farming, harvesting, and drying to processing and delivering chamomile flowerheads, chamomile tubular flowers (pulvis), chamomile ligulate flowers (white petals), chamomile essential oil, hydrolate, and extracts. Every step is controlled all under one roof to guarantee consistency and traceability. This type of business management gives the company full control over quality, hygiene, and sustainability.

Certified German chamomile ingredients direct from the producer

Demand for pure and sustainable raw ingredients continues to rise. The company, as one of the leading Chamomile growers and producers in Northern Europe, continuously expands. All of company’s medicinal chamomile products are food grade quality and are processed in accordance with HACCP standards. Additionally, essential oils and hydrolates are Ecocert Greenlife certified as organic according to COSMOS standard.

This is yet another well-recognized certification providing trust and transparency for brands and customers choosing these products. Ecocert-certified ingredients meet high ecological and sustainability standards, making them ideal for use in natural and organic cosmetics, skincare formulations, aromatherapy, personal care, and fine fragrance creation. For manufacturers, choosing our Ecocert certified German chamomile essential oil, hydrolat and chamomile extracts, it provides a competitive opportunity in a growing ethical and clean beauty market segment.

Chamomile-derived ingredients such as essential oil, hydrolate and various blue chamomile extracts provide soothing, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties, making them highly in demand for sensitive skin and children’s product lines.

Pharmacopeia grade Organic Chamomile

With an in-house analytical laboratory at the company’s disposal, detailed chemical composition profiles of the various chamomile varieties we cultivate are available upon request. This resource allows us to offer products tailored to specific industry needs, including those requiring compliance with pharmacopoeia standards. Our organically grown chamomile ingredients can be supplied according to the specifications set by the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) standard, ensuring exceptional quality, safety, and consistency.

Meeting pharmacopoeia standards is fundamental for pharmaceutical, dermaceutical, and high-performance cosmetic formulations. These standards define quality parameters of the chamomile ingredients such as bioactive compound content, purity, microbiological safety, and other factors.

Conclusion

The company provides more than just organically certified raw chamomile, extracts and oils that meet HACCP food safety standards. In addition to Ecocert-certified chamomile products, FIELD AND FOREST also offers medicinal plant ingredients that comply with Pharmacopeia standards.

Our target is about producing better for the ecosystem, employees, and for the people who rely on chamomile’s healing properties every day.

In the FIELD AND FOREST’s organic fields, chamomiles grow at scale, and purity begins at the root.
