ABOUT US

At Big Tobacco LLC our mission is restoring relationships between people and plants.
Since time immemorial, humans have depended on the abundant diversity of life around us for all aspects of our survival, just as they depend on us for our stewardship of the natural environment. As modern civilization alienates mankind further and further from the natural world, we lose not only the physical benefits that many of these plants can provide, but the spiritual benefits of having a direct relationship with the living beings who share the Earth with us.
We seek to provide customers with healthy plants and information on their ethnobotanical uses. Wherever possible we will provide academic citations regarding the specific ways plants have been used by various peoples in the past and present.

Our Plants
We sell many plants that are rare, unusual, or hard to find, with an emphasis on Florida native species. By making these plants available, we hope to bring our customers new experiences and cultivate appreciation for our native species and the habitats they can be found in. All of our plants are potted in organic soil inoculated with beneficial mychorrhizae to improve the health of the plant, the consumer, and the environment it’s planted in.
We us absolutely no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or chemicals of any kind; and we strive to minimize contact with plastics. Our plants come in reusable ceramic or biodegradeable wood-fiber pots to keep our operation healthy and eco-friendly.
