As the weather gets colder, working on your homestead can be quite the challenge when lips get chapped and hands start to crack. There's no need to shop for lip balm and salve when you can make them at home with friends and family. Here at Marigold Farms we use Balancing Bee Balm and Sophie's Healing Salve to get us through those cracked up days.
