Glen Afton Herbs is a small herbal business at 7 Glen Road in Glen Afton, in rural Waikato. It makes small-batch herbal tinctures and handmade ointments from single herbs, many of them grown on the owner's six-acre property. Where a herb cannot be grown there, the business sources it from reputable suppliers, preferably organic. The owner, Kaylene, says she has been interested in herbs since 1997, and moved to the property in 2016 and has been planting herbs, natives and fruit trees since.
Kaylene offers to help people choose which herbs might suit them. Postage is $8 per order, or $12 for rural addresses, as at 2026. The owner is also the Chief Botanical Officer for Mr Mug vermouth, which uses mugwort from the property. Orders can be placed by phone or email, and Kaylene is at the Glen Afton market from 8am to 12pm on the second Saturday of each month. Our pick in Glen Afton for single-herb tinctures from a small local grower.
