About MCF

Mountainside Chapel Farm is an ever evolving dream of mine. My husband, of 30+ years, and I live in a small country church on the side of a mountain in West Virginia with our two dogs, two cats, two goats, and some chickens - hence, the name Mountainside Chapel Farm seems to cover all the bases. On this little farm we are working toward a sustainable homesteading goal - I grow medicinal herbs, we garden and can the vegetables we grow, my husband hunts on our 36 acres, and I now create and share some lovely products that I craft from locally sourced animal fats - primarily beef tallow. When I'm not doing that, I enjoy repurposing furniture or making flower presses or anything else to scratch my perpetual creative itch. I also teach online career classes and do one-on-one career coaching.

In the midst of the pandemic and the phenomenon known as "the great resignation," I made the decision to leave a successful career in pursuit of a more peaceful lifestyle, focusing on my aspiration to become an herbalist and launch my own business. In 2023, I established Mountainside Chapel Farm, a faith-driven, female-owned venture dedicated to sharing the natural products I have personally crafted and used for years. The business has since expanded to offer over 27 products, with ongoing development of new items. My goal is to provide affordable natural solutions that promote healthier choices for skin care, recognizing the skin as the body's largest organ.

I am actively seeking new opportunities for wholesale or commission sales with local businesses as well. For inquiries, please contact me at [email protected] or through my website.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.
