Hi, we're Wild Dispensary
From day dot, we've been on a mission to make plant medicine you'll actually enjoy taking. Inspired by our own fussy kids (our best and biggest critics), we've created an award-winning range of natural formulas that do good and taste good.
Ruth Vaughan
co-founder
With a background in environmental science, Wild Dispensary grew from Ruth's love of wild places and the plants that grow in them. Combined with her passion for ethical business, those values continue to shape everything we do today.

Sustainability
Bottle Return Scheme
Our Bottle Return Scheme is one way we're reducing waste and encouraging a more circular approach to packaging.
Giving Back
We donate $1 from every online order to the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital. More than 75% of native species in New Zealand are threatened. The Wildlife Hospital has a critical role in the survival of many of these species.
Living Wage Certified
We believe businesses have a responsibility to help address inequality, which is why we pay a wage that reflects the real cost of living in Aotearoa New Zealand, not just the legal minimum wage.
Plastic-free dispatch
Your order arrives thoughtfully packaged using plastic-free materials. It's one small way we're reducing waste and making it easier for you to shop with the environment in mind.
"A dispensary is a place where something is dispensed, especially medicines, and we only have to look in the wild places around us to find medicinal plants and herbs. From the mountains in Central Otago to the plants in our backyard."
Wild harvested herbs
A piece of Aotearoa in every bottle.
