Tina Sams is the editor of The Essential Herbal magazine. After many years of running wholesale and retail herb businesses, she decided to pull together some of those resources and friends made during those careers into an herb magazine. Wildcrafting herbs and wild edibles are of vast interest, as well as soaping, medicinal and culinary uses of herbs, and various herb crafts. Most recently, a still for creating hydrosols and essential oils was added to the crafting equipment, along with lots of land to grow things. Based in Lancaster County, PA, she lives and works with daughter Molly.
