Mitchell Sustainable Hand Balm
Made from the rendered lard of their heritage pork, jojoba oil, beeswax, arrowroot powder, and essential oils right there on the Mitchell family farm. This natural hand balm restores rough skin so well that each of their farm guys swear by it! Calluses are no match for the moisturizing properties of our rendered lard, beeswax & jojoba.
It starts with the lifestyle of their happy silvopasture raised heritage pigs. They root out invasive vines and trees in the forest on their farm, lolling in the dappled sunshine from the trees overhead and frolicking in their wallow with our ducks and geese. 🪿 it’s a beautiful way for a piggo to spend their days and when it’s time to harvest, they utilize every part of their sustenance provided to them.
Then they render and filter the lard into a scent-free clean fat source that is perfect for protecting your skin. They combine this with nutrient dense jojoba & beeswax and sprinkle a bit of their favorite scents to spice things up a bit.
Tomato 🍅 Vine smells exactly like standing in the garden. A little damp soil under your toes, warm sun on your shoulders where your hat doesn’t cover and a sweating glass of iced sun tea. Tomato worms and weeding not included. It’s gardening without the fuss.
