🌿 That's a wrap on our spring event season! 🌿

We are so thankful for every single person who stopped by our booth, shared our products with friends, asked questions, and supported our family business. Your support means more than you know!

As we move into summer, we typically take a break from events. The truth is, our lotions tend to melt in the summer heat... and so do we.

But don't worry, you can still get your tallow fix! Whether you're in the McComb area and want to meet up for a pickup, or you'd like us to ship directly to your door, we've got you covered. And yes, we pack our summer orders with LOTS of ice packs to help them arrive happy and healthy.

Thank you again for an amazing spring season. We will see you again in the Fall!

The rain came but we stayed!

We are still set up here at the Walthall County Dairy Festival and plan to be around until about 3pm here at the Holmes Water Park.

We may have our sides of our tent up to protect from the rain, but our tent is always cozy and welcome to anyone who will listen to us talk about why tallow is so amazing!

So brave the rain and come enjoy all the fun that the Dairy Festival - moo-ing contest, free chocolate milk, toddler tractor racing, and all!

🌊☀️ We’re all set up at Bay Fest! ☀️🌊

Come see us today from 9am to 9pm in beautiful downtown Bay St. Louis! You can find us set up in front of the Hancock County Courthouse.

This is our first time at Bay Fest, and we are absolutely loving it! The weather is beautiful, the vendors are amazing, and the atmosphere is everything we hoped it would be.

If you’re enjoying the sunshine as much as we are and end up with a little too much of it, don’t forget that tallow is wonderful for soothing and helping support the healing of sun-kissed skin. Be sure to stop by and grab yours!

Come shop, enjoy the festival, and say hello. We would love to meet you!

05/30/2026

And we are on our way!!

We came down to Bay St. Louis tonight to be ready tomorrow morning - bright eyed and bushy tailed!

We are excited to meet new faces and hopefully see a few familiar ones. We will be set up from 9am to 9pm, so walk around enjoy this amazing event but don’t forget to stop by to say hi and fill up on all your tallow goodies to keep your skin happy and healthy this summer.

Phew… it’s been a busy last few weeks!

Between Mother’s Day, trips to see friends, and planting our garden, life has definitely been full lately. We have loved our time together as a family, but we’re excited to be back in the kitchen making products again!

And we’re even more excited to be at The Bay Fest in Bay St. Louis this Saturday from 9am to 9pm!

If you’ve already spent a little too much time in the sun and ended up with a sunburn (definitely not speaking from experience), don’t forget that tallow can help soothe and support healing skin. Be sure to stop by and grab yours this weekend! ☀️

We can’t wait to see everyone, enjoy the festival, and spend the day with so many amazing vendors and visitors!
