Lily Hollow Homestead
Homesteading and Handcrafting small-batch herbal goods for the whole family.
On our little slice of heaven in the middle of the woods, we are living holistically with the plants and animals that surround us and our 225-year-old log home. We tend to the land while the land provides for us.Â
We want to share our love of Mother Earth through our carefully crafted herbal creations as well as educating our community about plant medicine and consulting with individuals on their personal healing journeys. Knowing the plants around you and how you can work with them intentionally, instills an empowering sense of security and ensures a mutually beneficial relationship. This is our journey back to our roots and this is our promise to our future generations that we will not let this knowledge get lost in the world.
