Our Story

I soon added chickens. Twenty-five which roam the property, pecking grain I’ve sprinkled beneath their feet at sunrise or finding a juicy insect for breakfast. The dogs run alongside as I wander between the barns and garden, milking the cow and goats and plucking vegetables the moment their flesh hints of ripening. This is my idea of heaven: a simple existence, in harmony with the earth with humanely raised animals, and creating a life I love with my own two hands.

My desire to connect deeply with what I put in my mouth led to a heightened awareness of what I put on my body. I became an avid label reader, scrutinizing everything from my toothpaste to the shampoo in my shower. And one day I mused, “If I can raise my own cattle and cucumbers, perhaps I could make my own soap, too.” The goats delivered fresh, nutrient-rich milk and soon I found myself banging around the kitchen, learning the time-honored tradition of natural soapmaking.

Today, Blossom’s Barn is proud to produce a carefully edited collection of earth-friendly products brimming with nature’s simple bounty: calendula blossoms infused into sunflower oil, shea butter, pure essential oils and fresh lavender buds. Each one is created with intention right here on the farm, saturated with good energy and an appreciation of the simple things in life.

These days, I still wake with the sun to tend the gardens, feed the chickens and milk the goats. And after polishing off my first pot of coffee, I begin the measuring, mixing and delicate wrapping of my small batch apothecary products. I hope they encourage you to take a moment to count your blessings, reconnect with what matters most and inhale deeply the magic of the earth which surrounds you.
