For a few years now, I have been on a mission: seeking knowledge and natural solutions for everything we experience regularly as humans. I wanted to know how things were made because I began to recognize how toxic our world had become. I had so many conversations with friends and family about how it was starting to seriously affect our bodies. I knew that people had been healing themselves for centuries with things found in nature, but the art had been lost.
My generation has missed out, and I think we are craving a return to simplicity.
This business began with Beef Tallow. I had been interested for a while in trying tallow as a moisturizer, but I wasn't satisfied with buying one that someone else had made. I wanted to see what the process was like and if I could do it myself. Turns out, it's pretty easy.
At first I made a batch for me and a few friends. They encouraged me to sell my product and, after a bit of toying with the recipe, Three Pines Provisions was born.
Three Pines Provisions is intended to be expanded. I want to use this brand to not only provide simple goods to others, but share the knowledge I am gaining about simple remedies and homemade products.
And you don't need 10 acres and a milk cow to get started - although you might end up there somewhere down the line.
