For well over a decade, we have pioneered the use of Pine Pollen, introducing RAW Pine Pollen™, Pine Pollen Tinctures, and Pine Pollen Extract to a global audience.

Sourced with Integrity, Crafted with Care

Our Pine Pollen is sourced from the remote mountain forests of Chun’an County, China, where the Pinus massoniana pine tree thrives in its natural habitat. These untouched, government-protected forests provide ideal conditions for wild-harvesting, ensuring the purity and vitality of every batch.

Through direct partnerships with skilled local harvesters, we collect Pine Pollen during a precise three-day window each spring when potency is at its peak. This hands-on approach ensures that Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ remains single origin and site-verified, upholding the highest standards of transparency and integrity.

Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ exemplifies the harmony of time-honored herbal traditions and modern scientific advancements. By adhering to ethical sourcing practices and utilizing precise manufacturing methods in our USA-based facilities, we ensure that every product remains true to its natural origins while meeting the highest standards of quality.

Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ is more than a product—it’s a symbol of trust, renewal, and the enduring power of nature. Read our article, Sourcing Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™, to learn more about our sourcing and why it matters.

Origins Born Out of Necessity

At RAW Forest Foods, our journey with Pine Pollen began out of necessity. More than a decade ago, we identified a gap: no domestic sources existed for this extraordinary ingredient. Driven by a commitment to quality and inspired by Pine Pollen’s potential to support holistic health and vitality, we embarked on a quest to find the most authentic and sustainable source. Our search led us to the pristine, protected forests of Chun’an County, China—the natural habitat of the Pinus massoniana pine tree.

These forests, untouched by industrialization and safeguarded as a government-protected region, provide the ideal conditions for Pine Pollen to flourish. In this remote environment, the air is pure, the water is clean, and the ecosystem thrives, ensuring that every batch of Pine Pollen we harvest reflects the vitality of its origins.

Each spring, during a precise three-day window, local villagers hand-harvest Pine Pollen at its peak potency. This intricate process, deeply rooted in respect for nature’s rhythms, preserves the pollen’s unmatched purity and vitality. Our direct partnerships with these skilled wild-harvesters have created lasting relationships built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared dedication to preserving traditional practices.

Our commitment to sourcing Pine Pollen in the Daodi tradition from Chun’an County is more than a sourcing decision—it’s a reflection of our values. By prioritizing ethical and sustainable harvesting, we honor the local communities, the integrity of the forest, and the heritage of herbalism.
