Carrubba Farms & Partners
Farm to Formula Ingredients
For over 50 years, Carrubba has believed that exceptional ingredients begin long before extraction. Through our own farming operations and long-standing agricultural partnerships, we carefully source botanicals with an emphasis on quality, traceability, and responsible stewardship.
Every harvest represents decades of botanical expertise, sustainable growing practices, and a commitment to creating ingredients brands can trust.
Growing Responsible, Traceable Botanicals from Our Farms
At Carrubba, we believe exceptional ingredients begin with trusted relationships. Alongside our global network of carefully vetted suppliers, we proudly cultivate botanicals through our own farming operations and long-standing agricultural partnerships. This approach helps support ingredient quality, transparency, and responsible stewardship while strengthening our connection to the plants that inspire our work.

Growing the Future of Natural Ingredients
Nestled on 27 acres in Newtown, Connecticut, Maybrook Farms serves as Carrubba's dedicated farming operation, where botanicals are cultivated with sustainability and long-term stewardship in mind. Every season presents new opportunities to expand our growing capabilities while protecting the land for future generations.
Using compost generated from our manufacturing processes, we return valuable organic matter back to the soil, helping create a more circular growing system while minimizing waste.

Sustainability Cycle with Maybrook Farms
At Carrubba, sustainability doesn't end after extraction. Whenever possible, the remaining plant biomass from our manufacturing processes is upcycled into compost and returned to our farming operations, enriching the soil that helps grow future botanicals. By closing the loop, we reduce waste and help support a more circular approach to ingredient production.
