Producer Spotlight: Honey's Homemade Stuff

Carole Stevens of Honey's Homemade Stuff

When Carole Stevens was diagnosed with MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) in 2000, she decided to use her education which had led to her B.S. in Environmental Conservation, to help heal and sooth her cracked skin.

Course work in Industrial Hygiene had taught her the hazards of toxic chemicals in the workplace so it wasn’t a broad stretch to transfer that knowledge to make a lotion that was free of parabens, fragrances and other potentially carcinogenic ingredients. Friends and family enjoyed her products so much that she began selling “Honey’s Homemade Stuff.

Carole, known as “Honey” to her grandchildren, expanded her line of products one at a time in response to requests, over time, from friends or family members who would ask “what do you have for a diaper rash’, or “do you have something for those awful cracks on my heels”, or “can you do anything for arthritis pain”? And every time someone asked, “Honey” would get on the computer and research until she developed a product that would take care of the problem.

Her research soon convinced her that in addition to skin products free of chemicals, there was an enormous need for and movement towards unadulterated food. There was no lack of interest but knowledge of how to go about changing a lifestyle, for most people, seemed elusive.

With Carole’s teaching background, educating people regarding how to prevent illness and attain optimal health seemed a perfect fit. So, after years of study, “Honey” became a Board Certified Holistic Practitioner, a Master Herbalist and a Nutritional Consultant. You can contact her by email at 46honey46@gmail.com or phone at 804-227-2226. You can call her Carole or Honey; she answers to both and she loves to talk about this “stuff”.

About Fall Line Farms & Local Roots

Fall Line Farms & Local Roots is a non-profit online farmers market in Central Virginia. We are a producers' co-op of small family farms and local businesses providing fresh local food year round to our members.

As a member you order when you want - there is no requirement to order every week. You shop by the item and there is NO MINIMUM ORDER. With one order and one payment, you are able to order directly from 40+ producers.

Our farmers share with you details about their products and their practices so you can make the best decisions for your family's health and nutrition needs. Completely transparent, you will know exactly where your food is coming from and are encouraged to contact your farmers directly with questions.

How Fall Line Farms & Local Roots Works

Each week our producers post the products they have available, setting their own prices, uploading their own descriptions and photos. You can read about their farming practices and contact them directly with questions.

Using our Buying Pages, you shop online with us any time between Friday at noon to Monday at midnight. You pay for your order online and then pick it up on the following Thursday afternoon between 3:00 and 6:00 pm at one of our Richmond area pickup locations.

Orders are delivered fresh, straight from the farms on Thursdays. Our producers share in the delivery process and we rely on volunteers to sort the orders at the pickup locations. This cooperative system allows us to keep delivery costs down to a minimum meaning more money goes back to the producers.

How we are different

Fall Line Farms and Local Roots opened in the fall of 2008 with one goal in mind, to help small farms through the challenging season ahead. Since then, we have grown and developed but never wavered from this basic focus.

Our innovative online buying program allows small farms to sell their products as they come available at a competitive fair price that is set by them.

There is no minimum supply required for them to sell, allowing very small start up farms to grow and expand into a larger marketplace. We like to think of ourselves as an incubator for small sustainable farms.

Because our producers share in the delivery, we are able to keep our costs low. That means more money goes back to the farms.

We are not a reseller. When you order you are buying directly from the producers in our market.
