ABOUT ME

Welcome to the Farm!

I’m a native Idahoan, born and raised right here in Boise, and today you’ll find me living my dream on our farm in Star, Idaho with my husband, John. We’ve been living the farm life together since 1992—though our journey hasn't been without a few funny twists! After getting chased over the fence one too many times by angry cows, John and I decided it was time to look into other animals. When he suggested Boer goats, all I could envision was rusted farm equipment and chewed-up tin cans! But once our first herd arrived, it didn't take long for these intelligent, loving, and crafty animals to steal our hearts completely.

​

My path from raising goats to handcrafting skincare and candles began with a dream. I’ve always loved gardening—growing food, drying rose petals, lavender, and calendula. One night, I had a vivid dream that I was running a farm stand called Little Annie’s Shoots and Sprouts, featuring garden produce alongside homemade soaps and candles. That feeling of pure joy stayed with me. I dove headfirst into learning the art of formulating skin-loving products using pure goat’s milk and essential oils.

​

Today, our whole family makes this magic happen! John keeps our spreadsheets straight, our daughter designed our logo and website, and our other daughter is my chief soap and candle tester. Every single soap bar is hand-poured, every candle is personally created, and every product is made with love right here on the farm.

​

From our family to yours, I hope you love using these products as much as I love making them for you. Take a look around the shop and treat your skin and home to a little farm-fresh pampering today!
