About Tracey:

Botanical Harmony Farm is a family affair! We are striving to be community-minded and with great purpose in all we do. Tracey Burks, Ashleigh Newnes and both of their families work extremely hard together to make a home, farm and business run! We make organic goat milk soap and wild crafted herbal skin care and remedies and other diversified farm products through sustainable, organic methods from our animals, fields, and woodlands. We refuse to have to play a game with marketing, packaging, branding because we are farmers and sell at local farmer’s markets and events, using minimal and recyclable packaging. We believe it is more important to invest in the product itself rather than the box it comes in and that is why our soap stays naked. This passes on savings to our incredible customers! We love being able to pay bills through money flowing locally! We, in turn, purchase or barter for things like hops, beer for soap, industrially grown hemp for soaps and skincare, locally roasted coffee and herbs that we didn’t grow or had a crop failure! Local supporting local! Ashleigh and I manage a local farmer’s market where producers/makers are all within 50 miles because we believe it is important for everyone to support local. Our lifestyle is challenging yet grounding and humbling; we live extremely simply on purpose. So, while we are a minority, on many levels, we know we are on a right, peaceful, passionate, full of soul path for us, always willing to grow, eager to learn and change when needed. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow” Melody Beattie
