The Herb Center- Bend
5/24/2016
I'm probably biased since my husband just started working for their farm, but here were my initial thoughts before that.
The location is great, it's awfully easy to find. The only thing that could make this particular location better is more space. They were hiring when I went there and it was packed, so there wasn't very much space to move around.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The budtender (wish I had gotten her name) was the most knowledgeable person I've come into contact with since beginning my dispensary tour. I picked up some of their American Beauty, which was fantastic. Wish I had reviewed that before it was gone too, but it's almost always in stock so that will come later.
They have a GREAT selection and lots to choose from. Their product is green, sticky, and stinky, just how I like it. They make their own everything and each product is tested, marked accordingly, and organic. However, they could change their packaging. I'm sick of plastic packaging everywhere. Please shell out for glass jars, and maybe make a rewards program for those of us who would reuse them or bring them back.
The Herb Center has some of the best prices in town. They cater equally to rec and medical patients, and they really care about the products they are putting out. I'm looking forward to see where this business goes.
As far as working there, I've actually heard negative things about how they treat their employees. However, as I mentioned before, my husband just started working for their farm a month ago and he absolutely loves it. Everyone I've met who works there seems to love their job, so don't always believe what you hear.
