Pork Tallow, Answered
-
It’s very mild and neutral. Any scent comes from our herbs and essential oils, never synthetic fragrance.
-
Ours is rendered from the leaf fat of pigs we raise on pasture ourselves. It’s nothing like grocery store lard, and that’s why we call it pork tallow.
-
It comes from our own pigs, and it feels lighter on the skin.
-
No. Our balms and butters are anhydrous (made without water), and they keep for 12 to 18 months. Our hydrosols are unpreserved, so use them within 6 months of opening.
-
We keep our prices accessible on purpose, because artisan small batch doesn’t have to mean a $200 face cream.
Hello there
Meadowlark Made by Heather & Syd
It started when Syd’s firstborn needed gentle skincare and nothing on the shelves felt right. Our first balm came out of our kitchen, and we still make every batch like it’s for our own family.
Heather crafts every product. She renders the tallow from our own pigs, slowly infuses the herbs, and pours each batch by hand. Syd brings her background in holistic esthetics to how we build our rituals, and she leads the brand. No contract manufacturer, just the two of us and our family farm.
Because we use real herbs and flowers, color and scent can shift a little from batch to batch.
Old ways. New skin. Faith led.
NOTHING WASTED. EVERTHING HONORED.

NOTHING WASTED. EVERTHING HONORED.
Holiday Hams from Meadowlark Farm
A limited number of hams from our heritage Kunekune pigs, for local pick up and drop off only.
We don’t ship pork. You’ll find it at market, through drop-off orders within 60 miles of Adair, and with select local chefs. Our farm-to-market kitchen returns in May.
