At Locally Inspired, we love sharing the stories behind the products on our shelves. Every maker has a reason they started, a passion that inspires what they create, and a story worth knowing. This month, we're shining the spotlight on Purple Thumb Lavender, a sister-owned farm and small-batch maker from east-central Wisconsin.
Meet Mindy and Kristy, the sisters behind the business, and discover the many ways they bring the beauty and versatility of lavender into everyday life.
Meet the Makers: Mindy & Kristy of Purple Thumb Lavender
Mindy and Kristy started Purple Thumb Lavender on their east-central Wisconsin farm in 2017. Their inspiration was deeply personal: they wanted to preserve the land their father loved while creating sustainable, all-natural products their own families could enjoy.
What began with a meaningful connection to their family land grew into a business centered around one wonderfully versatile herb: lavender.
From sweet treats and culinary creations to relaxing self-care products and fragrant sachets, lavender offers so many ways to enjoy a little everyday goodness. Mindy and Kristy take pride in the care they put into every small batch, creating products they hope others will enjoy just as much as they enjoy making them.
We love that their business is rooted in family, a love for the land, and a thoughtful approach to creating products for everyday life.
