Why I Wash My Face With Dirt And Oil
When I was a young teenager, my mother shared her secret for beautiful skin with me. It was the same secret her mother used, and her mother’s mother. Three generations of women in my family had all done the same thing: washed daily with Noxzema followed by an application of Oil of Olay. I wonder what they would say if they knew I now wash my face with dirt and beef tallow balm!

One of the best things about buying from small family farms is that the food you eat is seasonal. When your farmer runs out of tomatoes for the year, they are gone until next year. If you want tomatoes in the winter, you need to eat from the harvest you “put up” during the summer bounty (in the case of tomatoes, that’s usually freezing or canning, although sun-dried tomatoes are lovely).
The folks at Chaffin Family Orchards are famous for their exquisitely mild olive oil, but they too only harvest once a year. Last week, they volunteered to give away some of the LAST of their olive oil until next season. When they run out of their stock of 375ml bottles, you’ll have to wait until after the next olive harvest to get any of their fabulous (& affordable!) oil. So, if you want to try their oil, or if you have some that’s about the run out, NOW is the time to get some — particularly while they’re giving away FREE shipping on orders placed within the continental U.S.
But first, the winner!
GIVEAWAY: Chaffin Family Orchards Olive Oil $59 Value
Sometimes, I wish I lived in California. I’d get plenty of sunshine, year-round farmer’s markets, and the chance to meet farmers like Chris Kerston of Chaffin Family Orchards. Chaffin Family Orchards is a five generation family farm located in the Sacramento Valley in California. The founder, Del Chaffin, bought the farm just after his graduation from UC Berkeley in the early 1900’s. He wanted a location that could grow fruit 365 days a year. He found that and more. The farm has been harvesting and producing olives and olive oil for over 75 years. For over 50 years the farm has produced beef cattle, citrus, stone fruits, and avocados. The farm has raised sheep and poultry for over 20 years and the meat goats were begun in 2006.
In other words, these guys know how to do it right. And this week, they’re giving away 6 bottles of olive oil to one of my lucky readers!
