Being in BC we grow a multitude of herbs in our garden. Then process them in the fall. Dry or freeze. And I grow massive amounts of basil and typically make 5-9 litres of pesto each year, depending on volume. Dried herbs we almost always get from Silk Road - my spice drawer probably has over a hundred items. And yes, I use them all. Even Urfa Biber (if not often)!
As others say - for smaller quantities - grow yer own. Rosemary, oregano (better dried anyway), basil, thyme all overwinter inside well. Tarragon and cilantro? Not unless you have lots of space! The joys of living in Canada.
We used to get fresh at CFM but that was years back when we lived there.
