The Emporium

Being medically retired after twelve years in the United States Army, I lost a lot of my life's purpose. I had no idea what I wanted to pursue, or be when I eventually grew up.

I have always loved nature, from being a kid making mud potions in the back yard out of my grandmothers silverware, to exploring the vast majority of the worlds ecosystem through my time in the service. From jungles alive with every touch, to the absolute silence of the desert, to the howling of the arctic.

I took in every second I possibly could, and my appreciation for Mother Nature only grew.

Plants became the constant in my life (alongside my beautiful wife and children of course).

From there I decided to pursue a degree in Horticulture from Colorado State University, and become a certified Herbalist through the Lost Remedies Academy.

Grow with us, together, and bring Mother Nature a little closer to your home.

Our Ingredients

•Our soap bases are made in the U.S. cruelty free, sustainably sourced from local farms to the manufacturer!

• Our herbs are home-grown or from Mountain Rose Herbs, who boasts numerous certificates for their products including fair trade, USDA certified organic, and much more. We are currently expanding our herbal garden to offer only home-grown herbs in our products.

•The tallow products come from a family farm precisely 6 minutes down the road. I agreed to partner with the farm after he showed the love and care that goes into not only his products, but his farm and the animals he raises there. While it is beef tallow, these cattle are raised with love and care from birth to processing, and using the tallow from the cattle ensures nothing goes to waste.

• Our beeswax is 100% organic, and is sustainably harvested from happy bees right here in the U.S.

• Our essential oils come from Gya labs who produce the oils from across the globe, to ensure sustainable practices regarding the native plants of that region.
