| | Where do you get your herbs from?
Is there an online store that sells herbs only? like the passion store that only sells peppercorns.

I buy just about all my herbs and spices form Penzeys.com.

Are you looking for fresh or dried?
I buy my herbs fresh, with the exception of bay leaves and mexican oregano, which I can't get fresh here most of the time. In the summer I get some herbs from the farmers market; everything else comes from the grocery store. There are places online that sell fresh herb plants, if that's what you're looking for.
I like Penzey's for spices, and that's where I get my mexican oregano.

Thanks Everyone,
I'm looking to try new herbs and spices instead of the store brands.

Definitely hit a farmers market. If you can find a good one, there will likely be varieties of fresh herbs that you won't find year-round. It's great for trying new stuff.

Another vote for Penzey's. Nice selection, good descriptions, & quality product.

When I can't get fresh from my garden (will be gone soon) I usually use a local guy who sells dried spices and herbs in bulk. You cannot beat knowing your merchant ... one time last winter I wanted some paprika and he literally chased me down to give me a sample of what he had (which was what I needed for that particular dish). That said, when I'm looking to try something interesting and new, I'll cast my vote with those who say Penzey's.
