Join Melissa of Honeybee Homestead to create bath items that nourish your skin, feel good when using them and you can proudly gift. 

Participants will create four items: Body Butter, Floral Tub Tea, Scrub and Herbal Tea Blend - with some room to personalize your products.

If including handmade bar soap fancies you join an upcoming soap workshop here.

The afternoon will also include discussing the qualities of the ingredients, including the benefits of botanicals. Recipes and ingredients have been chosen with care using locally sourced ingredients - some are grown in the Homestead gardens - when possible.

Gift yourself and loved ones nourishing bath items, handmade by you.

Hi! I’m Melissa, the Honeybee of the Homestead. My journey as a homesteader, folk herbalist, forager, naturalist and farm hand started 15 years ago. It was the beginning of experimenting, learning, playing and connecting with the ways my ancestors lived in cocreation with the generosity of the Earth. When I’m not at the homestead you’ll find me dancing, teaching dance, hiking and participating in community events.
