The vendor's About page calls Traditional Medicinals an independent botanical wellness company and a registered California benefit corporation, and the B Lab directory lists it as headquartered in California and certified since August 2010, with no parent or investor named anywhere.

The CANADA List records the owner as Traditional Medicinals, USA.

The vendor's Contact page gives its address as 4515 Ross Road, Sebastopol, California, and the Careers page places its people at the Sebastopol plant and a Rohnert Park office, both in Sonoma County. The About page mentions a company-led sales team in Canada without a Canadian office or headcount, so the small Canadian share is an estimate.

The vendor's Quality page says it sourced over 2.25 million pounds of organic herbs in 2021 across more than 100 botanicals from over 35 countries on six continents, and the About page names Trout Lake Farm in Washington as a supplier since the early 1980s. No breakdown by country is published, so the split favouring non-US, non-EU growing regions with a US share for domestic farms and packaging is an estimate. The Canadian online store runs on the US platform WorldPantry.
