Needles are hand - foraged from Pennsylvania woodlands. Eastern white pine needles grow in little clusters of 5 needles & will be picked & sent that way in their unique, natural form. Photo shows two ounces of needles in a one pint jar, for reference of how much that is. Refrigeration is recommended for the longest shelf life. If you won’t be using them in the next few weeks they can also be frozen! 2 ounces (57 grams) fresh needles $16, includes shipping Shipped in a cellophane bakery bag for freshness. Every day we find fresh treasures to harvest & share, & will be expanding our offerings in limited small batches. Note that the needles are shipped fresh & green, but will turn brown if subjected to hot temperatures such as sitting in a hot mailbox. Please keep in mind & plan accordingly to have shipped to a workplace or collect quickly & refrigerate for best results! If your needles arrive in less than perfect condition, please contact us to resolve before leaving negative feedback! We cannot account for all of the factors during their shipment but are happy to send replacements for damaged needles. Much like a bag of carrots, you will want to open the bag in the fridge to release extra moisture & extend shelf life. Needles can also be frozen. They can be expected to last approximately 6 weeks in the refrigerator & around 6 months in the freezer. For a limited time, all orders are shipping with a reusable cotton tea bag as a free gift.
