In this episode, we sit down with Charles Mayfield — father, bestselling author, regenerative farmer, and founder of Farrow Skincare — to trace his journey from Mayfield Dairy roots to launching a land-based skincare company built on lard and healing.

Charles shares how his upbringing on the family dairy instilled a powerful work ethic and how his hands-on experience at Polyface Farms with Joel Salatin sparked his passion for regenerative agriculture. He went on to found Mayfield Pastures, raising high-quality, pasture-based meats, and ultimately, Farrow, a skincare line crafted from the very animals he stewards.

We dive into why your skin is your largest organ—and how it’s been overlooked in the health and wellness world. Charles explains why lard is not just an ancestral fat, but a nutrient-dense powerhouse for healing sun-damaged and sensitive skin, and how the key to vibrant health may lie in reconnecting with land, animals, and traditional wisdom.

Whether you're a homesteader, health seeker, or skincare skeptic, this episode will challenge what you think you know about health, beauty, and sustainability.
