Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Everyday Ancestral! Today, I’m sitting down with Charles Mayfield, founder of Farrow Skincare and a long-time advocate for regenerative farming and ancestral health. Charles brings a unique perspective to skincare by tapping into the healing properties of lard, a once-vilified fat that’s making a comeback in natural skincare.

We dive into the fascinating history of lard, its benefits for skin health, and how Farrow’s products align with nature’s rhythms. Charles also shares his journey from writing paleo cookbooks to launching a skincare brand that champions nutrient-dense, farm-to-skin solutions.
