Everything from sunscreen, pain care that helps you recover quicker, skin care, bug spray, we hand milk our goats, infuse organic oils with what we grow, for truly luscious Goat Milk and Tallow soaps. I formulate medicinal and delicious teas, Fire Cider, use the salts from The Dead Sea, the Sea of Cortez and Celtic salt to create an amazing magnesium and nutrient spray and body butter using organic mango butter. Our reviews are astounding and so much of what we do has been by request and of course, is what my family uses. Items like our anti-itch and healing salve and hormone balancing salve, the skin serum and shampoo bars, a powerful dermatitis salve, using the wax from our beehives, as beekeepers and the tinnitus tea with several wins behind it, and wow! Did you see the review posted on our Facebook and the dramatic results in the varicose veins? We wild forage and find much of our medicine in nature and Creation as we show our journey at on facebook and our website at www.fillingamehomestead.com I am extremely passionate about what we do, Creation has saved my sons life when we were given no hope and no treatment.
