How the Journey Began…

When I moved from the city to the country in November of 2012, I was so excited to finally have a garden! I’d never had one, but I wanted to learn. Since it was November in upstate New York, I spent that winter reading and learning.  It was then that my journey began.  I learned about the differences between GMO (eek!) and heirloom (ahhh!) seeds so I bought my first packets of heirloom seeds and began to grow my own plants. It was a journey into finding organic soil and natural ways to fertilize and keep bugs away.

Two years and a room full of books later, my little garden had grown from three raised beds to nine. I also started canning and began making my first natural beauty and cleaning products. I learned so much about the chemicals that were in our food, beauty, and cleaning products, and I took the Rosemary Gladstar course “The Science and Art of Herbalism” to continue to learn and ensure my products were safe. I became passionate about making a sustained positive impact on my environment. 

I believe that the food we put into our body, the products that we put onto our skin, and the products we clean our homes with are an incredibly important part of our health. When we limit chemicals, we not only nourish our bodies and revitalize our homes but help to keep our planet healthy.

I grow many of the ingredients I use in my products; what I can’t grow, I source from verified sustainable, earth-friendly vendors, including bottles, packaging, and labels.

Stay tuned and watch us grow!
