Winter is a season to slow down and nourish. Learn how gentle cleansing, tallow-based skincare, and simple daily rituals help protect and restore your skin during the cold months.

Born from a holistic esthetician’s search for truly clean skincare and a mother’s ancestral tallow remedies on a Midwestern farm, Meadowlark Made is a faith-filled prairie apothecary rooted in family, stewardship, and the beauty of the old ways.

September on the prairie brings goldenrod, elderflower, echinacea, and rosehips—herbs that have supported families for generations. Learn how Meadowlark Made celebrates these seasonal treasures in our Foraged Grace Facial Balm, Tattoo Balm, and nourishing lip balms.

Herbalism, to me, isn’t just about remedies. It’s about relationship. It’s about walking barefoot down the dirt road near our home, or wandering through my parents’ timber, or pausing in a meadow—and staying open. My eyes are always scanning the ground, not just for plants, but for the lessons they carry. It’s a quiet kind of learning, guided by curiosity, reverence, and faith.

Before lab‑made drugs dominated, herbs growing freely in ditches and prairies were our medicine. In this blog, we explore how plants once trusted for healing were labeled unwanted, and why it matters to restore ancestral wisdom and our connection to the land.
