Wild Dispensary mulls international markets as growth scales up - Ruth Vaughn

Wild Dispensary co-founder and managing director Ruth Vaughan speaks with Kate McVicar. Wild Dispensary mulls international markets as growth scales up - After five years, Otago natural health firm is profitable, debt free, set up to tackle next five-year growth plan. Take a drive through central Otago as the weather starts to warm and the days become longer, you might find the traditionally brown and rugged landscape dotted in pink puffs of wild thyme.  What started off as a passion project, after noticing an under-utilisation of wild herbs, has turned into a viable business with its eye on overseas markets.  Dunedin-based Wild Dispensary offers a product line of health tonics, from digestive bitters to specialised vinegars, formulated from local and foraged ingredients from around the Otago area.
