NOWIA Unete, Center for Farm Worker Advocacy which began in 1996, is a movement of farm workers and immigrants that strives to empower and enrich the lives of both groups through education, cultural presentations, advocacy, representation in issues that affect their lives and organizing to defend immigrant rights.  UNETE formed due to the need for farm worker representation in legislative actions which would have excluded them from state minimum wage requirements and from their rights to file grievances related to labor violations.  Unete’s goals include working towards:

1. Organizing the farm workers and Latino immigrants in the Rogue Valley.
2. Educating the farm workers and Latino immigrants to advocate for themselves by offering  leadership training and building leadership capacity.
3. Building a strong immigrant’s rights movement.
4. Building community support for farm worker
   and Latino issues.
5. Build appreciation and understanding of Latino and indigenous American cultures and traditions.

The Rogue Valley is a unique agriculture community centered around small farms dependent on Latino immigrant labor. The struggles for worker + immigrant rights is so vital to our local community here in Southern Oregon and in all farming communities.

Help us celebrate May Day by honoring historic labor struggles and supporting current movements for labor rights!

When I started Wild Rose over 6 years ago, I had no idea that it would grow to become a legit full-time endeavor. Honestly, the only reason I decided to sell my products online was because I was working long hours as a live-in caregiver and I couldn't take time off to work farmers markets and craft fairs. I took my favorite recipes at the time, made a quick water-color painting of a wild rose and started an Etsy shop.

Over the years we've gone through plenty of changes, but I stubbornly kept that old rose. Admittedly, if I had known that Wild Rose would grow beyond a hobby, I would have spent more time on the logo back in 2011. This year, I finally decided to make the logo everything I wanted it to be. The rose is cleaner, more refined and more symmetrical. We hope you love the new look - and our brand-new products, as much as we do!

We've totally revamped our line of aromatherapy sprays, adding pure Pink Himalayan Salt to the mix! These new Botanical Salt Sprays produce negative ions, remineralize skin and texturize hair. Use as an air freshener, yoga mat spray or subtle hair & body perfume. We've discountinued a few old scents, but have added some new ones. We look forward to expanding this line!

We're so excited to share our newest scent: Dusk! Dusk is a dreamy, floral blend with earthy, sweet undertones. Made with organic Jasmine extract, traditionally known as “the night queen” for her soothing effect. Ideal for a centering time-out when feeling overwhelmed. Soak in Dusk just before bed to prepare for a restful, rejuvenating sleep.

In addition to the new soak, we are now offering all of our bath salts in sample-size glass test tubes! Each tube contains enough salts for one full-strength bath. Grab one tube for $7.95 or three for $19.95!

We can't wait to continue our rebranding throughout the year and add new, exciting products to the Wild Rose // Wild Man family. Thanks for being a part of our journey!

We're making room for some exciting new products, so we've put a selection of items on sale while supplies last!

All small jars of our botanical facial masks are 40% off as we're eliminating this size. But don't worry! We're keeping our mask sampler set.

All Aromatherapy Spray are also 40% off as we make room for a brand new scent series. A few of your old favorites will stay the same, but we are eliminating some scents as well. If you're partial to one of these sprays, now is the time to stock up!

It's time again to temporarily say goodbye to our Limited Edition beard oil scents. All of these scents will return in September, but take advantage of the low price now if there's one you simply can't live without.

And finally, we ended up with a few extra Refresh Stimulating Skin Care Gift Sets over the holidays so we've included them in the sale as well. Grab one of these sets for yourself or as a gift for just $12.00 while supplies last!
