Starting out as a simple request from Sydney to her mom Heather for safe, all-natural products for her son, has transformed into something much more meaningful.
Meet Heather & Syd
“We come from a long line of hard-working and resourceful women. We’ve always dreamt that someday, we would do something substantial on our family farm that would make our foremothers proud. We are so thankful for this opportunity to work together as mother and daughter, and to get to share these products from our family to yours!”

Founder, Owner, & Formulator
"As a mother and grandmother, my first priority was creating simple, natural products that I could trust for my family. It started with just a few handcrafted items I knew were safe and beneficial. Using nutrient-dense, pasture-raised pork tallow as a base for our products which also supports sustainable and ethical practices on our farm. Upon seeing the results on ourselves and family members, Syd and I realized we could offer the same quality and care to others. What began as a way to protect our family has grown into a business that allows us to share our passion for clean, natural skincare with our customers. When you purchase our Meadowlark Apothecary products, you're not only supporting our women-owned business, you're also supporting our small, family farm. Thank you for supporting small businesses!"

Co-Owner; Marketing Director
"With a background in holistic esthetics and a passion for natural health, fitness, and wellness, I believe in taking a simple and natural approach to caring for the body. When I became a mom, it was even more important to find safe, nourishing products for my son. Teaming up with my mom to create our apothecary felt like the perfect fit. Originally beginning as a personal journey for our family has now grown into something bigger. I'm excited to share the same wholesome, effective products with others who value natural health as much as we do.
I run our marketing, product design, & online store while living in Colorado. However, you’ll still see me in Iowa often - helping at the farm or our local market!”
