Mountain Mama of Maine Natural Products
Yes, there really is a Mountain Mama. A walk through a field of St. John’s Wort, glowing golden and blowing in the wind started my interest in wildflowers and medicinal herbs. I had just moved to a farm in Maine, leaving the city life behind. I walked the land with a wildflower identification book in hand and began to discover the bounty the earth offers us. After years of testing on friends and family, I was encouraged to offer my all natural products.
Centuries ago, women used herbs and essential oils for bath and beauty. Today there is increased interest in all natural skin care products as we learn about the dangers of synthetic ingredients. Since your skin is the your largest organ it just makes sense to treat it naturally.
Each product is now hand produced by "Mountain Daughter" with oversight from Mama, in small lots to ensure freshness. I'm excited to share that my daughter, Leah Gordon, has taken over Mountain Mama operations, to ensure that the products you rely are still available.
You will notice that our prices have increased. Last winter we completed a Cost of Goods Sold analysis. I haven’t done one since 2018! Ingredient prices continue to soar, some have doubled. Ditto for packaging and freight charges. Supply chain problems are still evident. April 2025 will see the first price increase in years. It must be done and I trust you will be willing to pay a fair price for the products you’ve come to love over the years.
Enjoy and please share with friends.
