Here’s your yearly reminder to dry your peonies! I’m surprised every year at how many people have never tried it!

What a great opportunity to be interviewed on this podcast!
Come listen to the “why” that launched my herbalist journey.

*Yes! It’s cringey to hear your own voice recorded. 😬 But I did it so you could know the heart behind this business.

New episode of Feed Your Lion Podcast is out!

Dr. Jodelle Yount sits down with Certified Herbalist Michelle Dixon Gerlach of Willow Valley Farmhouse to talk about natural living, traditional remedies, and the beauty of using simple ingredients you can trust.

Michelle shares how she began creating her own all-natural products for her family using locally sourced beef tallow, carefully selected herbs, and ingredients grown and harvested right on her farm. From her popular whipped beef tallow lotion to herbal tinctures for scalp and hair health, everything she makes is rooted in quality, simplicity, and intention.

Her approach is all about knowing exactly what goes into the products you use every day and returning to natural options that have stood the test of time.

If you’re interested in holistic wellness, natural skincare, herbal remedies, and living closer to the land, this episode is one you’ll love.

Listen now and discover how small changes in what you use every day can make a big difference.
