We Are Family
Family run small-business
At Fleming Family Homestead, we are a small, family-run business rooted deeply in our love for simple living, honest work, and the blessings of homestead life. Everything we make—from our tallow balms to our handcrafted soaps—is created in small batches with intention, integrity, and good-faith practices that honor both our customers and the land we steward. As believers in Christ, we strive to let His values guide the way we work: serving others with humility, treating every order with care, and creating products that reflect gratitude, stewardship, and the beauty of God’s creation. Our homestead is more than a place—it’s a way of life and a calling, and we’re grateful to share that with you through every product we make.
The Natural Way
What is Tallow Balm?
Tallow balm is a traditional, nutrient-rich skin moisturizer made from rendered beef fat (tallow) that has been carefully purified and blended with high-quality oils. Because tallow’s natural fatty-acid profile is very similar to the oils found in human skin, it absorbs easily and provides a smooth, deeply conditioning feel without synthetic additives.
How It Differs From Traditional Lotion
Most store-bought lotions are made with water, emulsifiers, and preservatives to keep the product stable. Tallow balm contains no water, so it doesn’t require preservatives and offers a concentrated, long-lasting moisturizing experience. A small amount goes a long way, and the texture is richer than a standard lotion.
Why Many People Prefer It
Customers often choose tallow balm for its simple, traditional ingredients and the way it leaves skin feeling soft, nourished, and supported. Because it is made without fillers, synthetic fragrances, or water, tallow balm provides a more “whole-ingredient” approach to moisturizing. Many people appreciate how gentle it feels and how quickly it absorbs.
