Stephanie Harren of Chosen Weeds Farm has a background in fitness nutrition and environmental education and a love for the outdoors and animals, which all combined perfectly to helping her become a soap artisan and to run a farm. She also owns Triple F Animal Adventures, where she provides farm tours to groups of all ages.

Chosen Weeds farm was born out of a desire to create a place of sustainability and service to the community. Stephanie wanted to fashion a place where people were free to see how animals and plants can be raised with love, where they could be assured that the products they buy are authentic, and they were free to ask questions to learn and grow into their authentic selves.
Listen as Stephanie talks about how she makes her hand-crafted goat’s milk soaps and all-natural insect repellent and her love for the land and animals that she shares with others.
