Heritage Homestead Simple, Natural & Back to the Basics. Sharing our knowledge of sensitive skincare, and farm goods. They often just sting, leaving the skin more irritated.

Our small family business was born from the need to find a way to help improve the skin health of our two youngest children. They both navigate life with many food allergies, asthma, and severe eczema. We had spent years trying all the hypoallergenic over-the-counter moisturizers with little to no improvement. With a combined 20-year background in healthcare and cosmetology, this Mama got to work!

What is tallow? Tallow is put simply rendered animal fat, most commonly from beef. It contains all the same vitamins, minerals and healthy fats that our skin has, making it the most biologically compatible with us. It truly is a super skin food! I source my suet from a local butcher and process it to produce my own tallow for all the skincare products I make, for the highest quality possible. We found that the beef tallow skincare products I was making were gentle, soothing, and a game changer when added to their skincare routine. They do not fix the eczema, but where the MOST helpful and moisturizing for them. We started selling our skincare 3 years ago to help others with super sensitive skin, and to help bring back the use of tallow! We began selling at 1 market per week, and now you can find us at 33 stores throughout the states. Our logo is a heritage breed turkey, which I get questions about often! It simply stands for traditional ways and ingredients. Which is fitting since tallow has been used since ancient times but was left behind during the industrial revolution when goods became mass produced for as cheap as possible and ingredient quality has continually become poorer ever since. It truly is a family business! Each jar of lotion is hand piped, each soap hand cut, and all formulated simply and with purpose. All the kids help in various ways including labeling, marketing, sorting, and helping at events and farmers markets throughout the year. The best part is hearing from a customer that their skin or their child's skin has improved! It's just close to my heart, because I have been THAT parent before. Searching and trying anything to help make their baby's skin a "little happier". We also produce small amounts of organically grown garlic, lamb and poultry meat on our tiny farm.

Last night’s cold snap got the best of my workshop ❄️
Because it’s not consistently heated, a custom order cracked overnight. Not ideal—but it’s part of working with real, natural ingredients in a small-batch space.
I’m remaking it fresh today to make sure it’s just right 💛 Not everything is perfect, but care and quality always come first.
Thank you for supporting the real, behind-the-scenes side of small business.

Quick rainy day thought ☔

I used to assume days like this meant my kids’ skin would finally get a break… but it never really worked that way.

Even with all that moisture in the air, their skin would still feel dry, sensitive, and sometimes even more irritated—especially this time of year when the weather can’t make up its mind.

It’s been such a reminder for me that our skin still needs real, consistent nourishment no matter what it looks like outside 🤍

If your skin has been feeling off lately too, you’re definitely not alone 💧

We woke up to the sweetest surprise this morning — Callie had her baby early today! 🐑🤍
There’s nothing quite like new life on the homestead… tiny hooves, soft little bleats, and a whole lot of joy to start the day. We’re soaking in every moment and feeling so grateful.
Welcome to the world, little one 💫

So many new faces here lately—welcome, we’re happy you’re here!

When nothing worked… we had to find our own way.

As a mom, I was watching my children struggle with severe eczema, allergies, and asthma—and every “gentle” product we tried only made things worse.

So we went back to the basics.

What started in our kitchen became something that truly changed their skin—simple, nourishing, and finally something we could trust.

That’s how this business was born.

Today, we’re still a small family-run brand, carefully making each product with purpose—because we know what it feels like to be searching for something that actually works.

If you’re on that same journey, you’re not alone 🤍

This is what small business really looks like ✍️
Not just the finished products on the table — but the behind-the-scenes planning, sketching, and reworking layouts to make every market and event better than the last.
Mapping out booth setups, product flow… and figuring out exactly what my husband needs to build to bring it all to life 🛠️
It may look like a mess of notebooks and ideas now, but it’s all part of creating a space that feels intentional, functional, and welcoming when you stop by.
Fresh season. Fresh layout. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on 💛
