Hillhouse Naturals EVSC Evergreen Seedlings Candle Tin 6_5 oz_

The Hillhouse Naturals farm story began over 30 years ago in the Kentucky countryside. My husband and I were farmers. I always loved crafts and making things, and I would use the beautiful botanicals and wildflowers that surrounded us to to create wreaths, sachets and potpourris. Tracy helped too of course - her after school “job” was picking flowers. We loved farm life but struggled to make ends meet, but one thing that was never in short supply in our home was resourcefulness. I took some wreaths to local craft fairs, but I never expected for it go beyond that - until one day, when Country Living showed up and bought up everything we had! They wanted us to start selling to them and encouraged to expand. We went down to the bank and got a 500 dollar loan, which got us started on what became a thriving business and a real family affair. My husband used his skills fixing farm equipment of create custom machinery for production. My daughter Tracy had a unique after school “job” - which was picking flowers.
