Our Story: From Farm To Skin

It started at my kitchen table in 2016. I was pregnant with my first child, chasing a healthier life for my family, and I began crafting natural skincare. I sold out at my very first craft show, and I knew right then this was more than a hobby, it was a way to help other families live well too.

Then my husband, Brian, and I bought back my childhood home and started a farm from scratch. Our goal was simple: grow and raise as much of the skincare line as we could, right here, while feeding our own family in the process.

That dream grew into a full line of non-toxic herbal skincare, organically raised Kunekune pork and chicken because our community needed a real option too. We farm regeneratively, working with the land instead of against it, and we’re proud to be the first and only Certified Naturally Grown farm in Frederick County.

Our Mission

Our mission is to grow and raise as many of our own ingredients as possible, and to partner with other regenerative farms for what we can’t grow ourselves. Every partnership supports another farm doing the work of farming done right, keeping regenerative agriculture alive for the next generation. This is how we’re building a sustainable skincare line, from the ground up, one farm at a time.

Regenerative Farming

  • Producing our own ingredients

    Producing our own ingredients like herbs, goat milk, and lard ensures the highest quality and purity for our skincare line. This farm-to-skin approach minimizes environmental impact and promotes sustainability by reducing transportation and supporting regenerative farming practices. By controlling every step of production, we provide you with truly natural and effective skincare products.

  • No Till

    We choose not to till our land because it helps preserve soil health and fertility. Tilling can disrupt the natural structure of the soil, leading to erosion, loss of organic matter, and disruption of beneficial microorganisms. By practicing no-till farming, we maintain soil structure, reduce erosion, and promote the growth of healthy crops while minimizing our impact on the environment. We raise pastured pigs for this specific reason.

  • Rotational Grazing

    Rotational grazing improves soil health and pasture growth, leading to more productive and sustainable land. It helps control pests and weeds naturally, enhances biodiversity, and promotes better animal health. This method also conserves water and reduces erosion, supporting long-term ecological balance. Overall, rotational grazing boosts productivity and aligns with our commitment to regenerative farming practices.

Our Livestock

Kunekune Pigs

Purpose-Bred Pigs. Farm-Raised with Intention.

At Willow Moon Farm, we raise IKHR-registered Kunekune pigs with one mission in mind: to produce exceptional pork from thoughtfully selected genetics. From the very beginning, we knew that in order to make Kunekune pigs work for a pasture-raised pork program, we had to start with quality. That meant investing in strong, proven lines—not just pretty pigs, but pigs with performance behind them.

Every boar and sow in our breeding herd has reached (or exceeded) 200 pounds by 12 months of age, and some even have carcass merit ultrasound data behind them. Our main herd sire was 274 pound at 12 months for reference. We’ve worked hard to source genetics from breeders who share our vision: Kunekunes that thrive on pasture, grow efficiently, and finish well for flavorful, marbled pork.

We don’t raise Kunekunes just for looks or novelty—we breed with intention. Pork is our priority. And because of that, we’re incredibly selective about which piglets carry on the Willow Moon herd name. Only the best of the best are retained or offered as future breeding stock.

We raise every breeding prospect out to 8–12 months before offering them to another farm or homestead. That gives us time to evaluate growth, structure, temperament, and confirmation. You simply can’t know what you’re working with at 8 weeks old—and we believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way.

When we got started with Kunekunes, we wished we had someone to guide us through the process—someone who bred with purpose, who would answer our questions honestly, and who cared about our success. That’s why we’re committed to being that resource for others.

When you purchase breeding stock or meat pigs (barrows only) from Willow Moon Farm, you’re not just getting a pig—you’re joining a community. We offer mentorship and personalized support to help you build a strong, sustainable pork program of your own. We also host a private group for all of our Kunekune pig buyers where you can ask questions, share updates, and connect with others raising purpose-bred pigs.

Whether you’re building a pork-focused Kunekune program or adding one of our well-started growers to your homestead, you can count on transparency, support, and thoughtfully bred animals that reflect years of care and commitment.

Dairy Goats

Registered. Hand-Raised. Purpose-Bred for the Homestead Life.

At Willow Moon Farm, our dairy goats are more than just milk producers—they’re an essential part of our regenerative farm. We currently raise registered Nigerian Dwarf goats and now Mini Nubians as we expand our herd to meet the needs of our skincare line.

Our goats are thoughtfully bred for hardiness, strong udders, sweet temperaments, and excellent milk production. We value efficiency and quality over quantity, and our goats reflect that. Whether it’s for raw milk or nourishing handcrafted skincare products, our goats provide rich, creamy milk that’s the foundation of so much of what we do here on the farm.

Our Nigerian Dwarfs are ADGA registered and come from lines known for both beauty and production. These small but mighty milkers are perfect for the small homestead: easy to handle, excellent mothers, and producers of high-butterfat milk ideal for both drinking and artisan use.

We’re also beginning to build a Nubian herd—drawn to their elegant stature, gentle personalities, and impressive milk volume. As we grow, we’re carefully selecting Nubians with strong genetics that complement our values: animals that thrive on pasture, maintain health naturally, and fit beautifully into a farmstead system.

Each goat is raised with hands-on care from birth. Our herd lives on pasture and is supplemented with high-quality hay, minerals, and herbal support to promote health from the inside out. We believe animals raised naturally, with respect and intention, give back in abundance.

Like everything at Willow Moon, our goat program is rooted in sustainability, transparency, and community. We raise a small number of doelings and bucklings each year that we offer to other homesteads or farms. We also offer pet wethers (castrated males) they make amazing pets. We’re always happy to share what we’ve learned, and when you bring home a Willow Moon goat, you’re getting more than a pedigree—you’re getting a partner in your journey.

We offer mentorship, ongoing support, and insights into feeding, herbal care, breeding, and homestead dairy life.

Whether you’re looking to start a raw milk program, add quality genetics to your current herd, or simply fall in love with these incredible animals the way we have—welcome. We’re happy to help you along the way with our amazing goats. Send us an email to chat more- willowmoonfarmllc@gmail.com.
