Who We Are

We’re Sam and Abi — a grandmother-and-granddaughter team living, growing, and making on a little patch of land in Victoria, Virginia. Everything you find here is an extension of our daily life: steeped in mud, rooted in plants, and stitched together with love, learning, and old-fashioned grit.
 
Our journey began not in a pristine studio or a polished storefront, but in a farmhouse kitchen, surrounded by herbs we grew ourselves and the wild ones we met along the way. What started as medicine-making for our own health — the kind we could trust, pronounce, and actually understand — slowly turned into something we wanted to share.
 
Abi is the curious heart of our farm, never far from a plant book, a lamb, or a new idea. I’m Sam — the hands in the soil, the planner of rows and routines, the one who wakes before the rooster. Together, we forage, plant, harvest, and create every single product ourselves, from seed to salve, with reverence and responsibility.
 
We don’t believe in shortcuts or hype. We believe in knowing your herbs, trusting your hands, and making only what we’d use on our own family. That’s our promise — no fillers, no commercial nonsense. Just clean, strong, real remedies made the way they were always meant to be: with intention, integrity, and the land at the center.
 
Thanks for walking this path with us.

The Sheep

Our sheep live like sheep should — free-ranging across nearly 100 acres of woods, pasture, and scrub. They browse, not just graze, finding what their bodies need from the land itself. We don’t confine them to paddocks or control their feed by the bag. In hard winters, we supplement with hay and a little grain, but the goal is always to let the land feed them first. We do harvest some of our animals — with full awareness of what that means. They are not pets. They are not machines. They are part of a closed-loop system where life supports life, and nothing is taken lightly.

The Birds

Our chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl are fully free-range — and they act like it. They roost in trees, nest where they please, and spend their days patrolling for ticks, bugs, and anything that moves. They are loud, wild, and occasionally feral, which is exactly how we like them. These birds don’t live in coops or eat pellets unless they choose to. Eggs and meat from them are seasonal, hard-earned, and never guaranteed — which makes them all the more worth having.

The Livestock Guardians

Our Great Pyrenees dogs were born to work, and that’s what they do. They live with the flock, track every predator by scent, and handle their job without human micromanagement. You’ll find them sprawled in the dirt by day, but come nightfall, nothing gets past them. They don’t bark without reason, and they don’t back down. They’ve earned the trust of every animal on this farm — and ours too.
