Have you ever thought to yourself, "There has to be more to life than this!" There is. In 2020, while living what many would consider the "American Dream", God grabbed our hearts and showed us that although we felt like we had it "right", He had more...and it looked much different than the suburban lifestyle we'd been living.
What began as a curiosity about the supernatural led to a "cracked book" every now and then, as He is faithful, a personal relationship with our creator that defines our purpose. Small steps in obedience followed, leading to a bigger faith, which led to bigger steps in obedience in 2021...
When He says to move, we move. Literally.
We sold downsized our house and upsized our land. We began making steps to become as self-sufficient as possible while trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Once you see "behind the curtain" of the food and drug industry (and the entertainment industry for that matter), it's hard to unsee how toxic the things we consume really are. So we got some goats for milk, some hens for eggs, chickens twice a year that we process for meat, some cows for beef and began a community garden free to the public. We can our own food, make our own sourdough, create our own medicinal herb tinctures and teas and do as much as we can using the resources God freely provides. We also began to homeschool our 3 elementary aged sons, host a Christian boys camp in the summer and each of us have started our own businesses! In 2025 we completed a renovated a shell of a pole barn used to store hay so we can host Men's and Women's Saturday morning fellowship and Bible study as well as converted a pole barn into a 4-season building to host ministry and home church! (Neither of us had ever used power tools before we moved here but with the help of the amazing people God has brought to this place...and He truly is to get ALL of the credit, we were able to do all of this "on our own"! All as a result of pausing, asking God for His will and faithfully stepping out in obedience. The community He has given us to support and encourage us is one of our greatest blessings and it is our hope to continue to do His work through our earnest seeking of His will in our lives. We hope our journey encourages and inspires you to do the same!
Why TALLOW?
Because you're NOT a plant.
I know it seems weird to rub beef fat on your skin but once you try ours, you’ll never go back! Plant oils are not as compatible with our skin as animal fats - specifically beef fat which has the closest fat profile of any animal fat to human sebum! This means your skin responds to tallow similarly to how it responds to it's own natural oils, m meaning it won't clog pores, it absorbs completely, doesn't clot pores and is less likely to produce any adverse biological responses such as inflammation or redness, when used. What's more, it's abundant nutrient profile, packed full of anti-aging nutrients, aids your skin's natural restorative process and helps reverse signs of aging, inflammation, acne, irritation and minor superficial injuries.

Why Waymacres™?
Because it's the best.
Toxins are stored in fat! If you’re using tallow from a cow confined to a pen, eating grain grown with pesticides and being injected with drugs and hormones they you’re using a rendered fat with a high toxin load and spreading it all over your body to be absorbed. NO THANK YOU! Waymacres™ tallow is 100% grass-fed and raised organically so you can be confident that you’ll get all of the benefits of tallow that your skin deserves without any of the toxins it doesn’t!

Why Goat's Milk?
Because you're STILL NOT a plant.
It's no secret how beneficial mother's milk is both nutritionally as well as for skin. If you are, have been or know a breastfeeding mother, you'll surely have heard her say "just put some breast milk on it !" countless times. Just like the fat of a cow is the closest biological composition to our skin's natural oils/fats, goat's milk is the mammal milk that is closest in biological composition to human's breast milk. That is why many babies (my own included) who have lactose issues are able to tolerate goat's milk, even before 12 months of age. It's no different for our skin than it is our tummies.
Not all goat's milk is created equally...WAYMACRES™ goat's milk is always sourced from our own, healthy and happy goats and is used RAW to maximize the retention of it's naturally occurring vitamins, anti-oxidants, lactic acid, selenium, probiotics.

2021 testimony
In 2021, Joe and I began attending a Christian church for the first time. We were asked to share our testimony with the congregation just a few short months after we began reading the Word and getting to know Christ. At this time, we had NO idea what was in store - we hadn't even considered moving from our "dream home" yet! The farm, Waymacres, and ALL Christ has done since then wasn't even on our radar! But we kept coming across this scripture...and leaned in wholeheartedly. Thank God we did!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your was, acknowledge Him and He will make straight your path."
- Proverbs 3: 5-6
