Our Story
Meadowlake Farm Skin Care was born in 2005 when founder Sally and her husband Joel embarked on an unexpected journey. After Joel learned the art of organic beekeeping, Sally became fascinated with the remarkable benefits of honey as a skincare agent — and their story began.
The farm itself has been in Joel's family since 1959, originally named Meadowlake Farm by his great aunt and uncle. Before them, the land was owned by a naturopath — and it has always been a place where nature, not industry, takes center stage. Some places seem to choose their purpose. Meadowlake Farm is one of them.
A cosmetic chemist by training and a member of The Society of Cosmetic Chemists, Sally started tinkering with a few simple salves and gradually developed the full line as it exists today. A truly green chemist, she works exclusively with raw materials derived directly from nature — no synthetics, no shortcuts. Sally brings a rare combination of talents to Meadowlake Farm: a strong scientific foundation, a sharp business mind, and a deep love of craft, shaped by dual careers as a commercial architect and a newborn intensive care nurse.
Joel, a one time small business owner, skilled tradesman, and talented craftsman, has been an essential partner in building the farm and the brand from the ground up.
The Team
Sally’s sister Judy rounds out the Meadowlake Farm family. A registered nurse, wound care specialist, and health care administrator, Judy brought an already impressive depth of knowledge when she joined the team — and then took it further by becoming a certified family herbalist. Her expertise in herbal medicine has proven invaluable to our formulations and our mission to help people and the planet.
