who we are

On a small retired dairy farm in western Wisconsin, two social justice workers have settled down for some misadventures in sustainable organic agriculture.

We're shy homebodies who love the mad earthly science behind turning essential oils, luscious organic oils and butters, and botanical ingredients into useful products that elevate the spirits. We're following a crazy dream of creating products with as many locally-grown organic ingredients as possible. Our day jobs have been mostly social justice work in some form, so we're dedicated to running our business with attention to the principles of respect, compassion, and fairness.

We've been handmaking soap, salves and lotions for 10 years, and making jams and jellies for as long as we've been able to follow instructions from an elder. Our interest in sustainable agriculture has also led us into organic chickens, berries, bees, an enormous garden, and a dedication to supporting other local farmers and small businesses. (Eat local, y'all.)

The name Mirasol Farm (mirasol is Spanish for sunflower) reflects the Latina half of our family. Sunflower oil is naturally rich in Vitamin E, and is the one ingredient you'll find in most of our bath and body products.
