About smittys little farm

smittyslittlefarm was created by mother & daughter team Colleen (me) & Jennifer. "Smitty" from smittyslittlefarm refers to Colleen's dad & Jen's grandpa. Smitty was a colorful character & a heck of a story teller. He toured the Great Plains Region, Desert Southwest and Rocky Mountain West presenting another version of history (in full costume, approved by the Sioux Council in South Dakota) that told the story of the Native Americans of the Plains from their point of view once Europeans came to America. Of course that was pretty controversial stuff in the 1960's. Smitty's flair for showmanship was only topped by his love of all things natural, native & useful. Because of this & the fact that his wife, my mother, Elaine was a penny pincher & could whip up anything you needed out of that tiny kitchen of hers, we became the people that other people called on when they needed a remedy or a recipe. 

After moving to the high country in 1985 it became apparent that getting to the grocery store was sometimes more of a challenge than was warranted. That's when making our own health, bath & beauty products became more of a necessity & not just a fun hobby.

Jen is the mad scientist-in-residence (kidding!...probably) & Colleen does most of the growing & marketing.

So that's who we are & what we do.
