Farrow founder, Charles Mayfield:

Farrow founder Charles Mayfield’s interest in clean food and healthy products began when he was working as a personal trainer. He spent years researching nutrition to help his clients reach their fitness goals and eventually co-authored three paleo cookbooks. Along the way, he discovered that it’s not just the kinds of foods we eat that impact our health, but also the way those foods are grown. Learning about regenerative farming changed the course of his life. 

Regenerative Farming:

Regenerative farming is conservation-based approach to growing healthy food with sustainable practices like rotational grazing, composting, and recycling. It reduces waste, improves the vitality of the soil, eliminates the need for chemical pesticides and herbicides, and dramatically reduce atmospheric Co2. Regenerative farming is also healthier and more humane to animals. Instead of being caged in overcrowded, stressful enclosures where they become ill and require hormones and antibiotics, regeneratively raised animals spend their days roaming the pastures soaking up fresh air and sunshine and eating healthy, clean feed. 

How Charles + Regenerative Farming = Farrow

Charles began Mayfield Pastures with the goal of growing food in a way that could heal the body and the planet – and to give his children a deeper connection to healthy food and the land where it’s grown. As a regenerative farmer, he’s always looking for ways to reduce waste and make the most of the farm’s resources. Several years ago, suffering from a particularly brutal sunburn, Charles tried slathering himself with lard. He was blown away by the surprising speed of his recovery, began researching the use of animal fats in traditional skincare, and the idea for Farrow was born. Farrow’s ingredients are sourced exclusively from regenerative farms and the cream’s signature fragrance is a unique blend of doTerra essential oils.
