About Us
The journey to Shepherd's Harvest is a very personal one. It began several years ago after I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After some research and many bouts of various medications, I decided to avoid medication and try to use organic and all-natural foods and body products--but they were expensive and/or hard to find! So, I started making and growing much of what I needed to keep myself healthy and pain-free.
In 2009 Shepherd's Harvest started as a home canning and pickling business, selling through farm stores to the eastern Connecticut community. I spent some time working on organic vegetable and dairy farms, and eventually started making my own goat milk soap. This blossomed into a business, along with shampoo bars, deodorants (with no aluminum), and an insect repellent which seems to work ridiculously well! In June 2012, I decided to share the products online and locally at Farmer's Markets.
My personal journey also included a little bit of faith. On every Shepherd's Harvest package you will see the message, "I am the Good Shepherd...I lay down my life for the sheep." This is from the Bible, John 10:14. It reflects my belief that God loves each one of us passionately and wants us to be whole in every way, to the point of even laying down his life.
My personal mission is to provide you, my friends, with high quality products with minimal packaging and fuss; for a reasonable price. Hope you enjoy all that Shepherd's Harvest has to offer!
Peace and love,
Sandy
