We love our tea and coffee here at Orchard House Farm brewing pot after pot throughout the days. We currently offer nine different types of tea, several of which we have blended ourselves. We have tried many different brands and flavors over the decades and are proud to share our favorites with you.

Some flavors are seasonal and other available year round. We are featuring: Earl Grey, Lady Rose (Earl Grey with Roses), Lady Lavender (Earl Grey with Lavender), Ginger Peach, Blackberry, Orange Spice, Masala Chai, and Sweet Dreams Teas. Our coffee offerings are Pumpkin Latte and Winter Wonderland (Hazelnut/White Chocolate Mousse/Vanilla/Cinnamon). They are just the thing to brighten your day!

We been making scones to enjoy with our teas forever. After getting asked repeatedly for a mix we've made it available to you. We happy to share our Chocolate Chip Spice and Cranberry Spice Scone mixes with everyone. Pairing a mix with a bag of tea makes for a wonderful gift idea.

Our Herbal Salt is a favorite around here and popular gift item. While each batch is hand blended and each jar shows this individuality our amazing Herbal Salt usually contains summer savory, basil, tarragon, thyme, parsley, dill, cilantro, bachelor button & calendula petals. These herbs are blended with kosher salt, or sea salt creating a fabulous seasoning you'll enjoy on everything from eggs and veggies to fish and chicken. It's great sprinkled wherever you would use regular salt. Makes a great hostess gift as well!

Sometimes we like to pick up the heat and so in addition to our Herbal Salt we begun selling our Spicy Salt. This is a mix of sea salt, pepper, chipotle powder with just a bit of sugar to balance it all. It's great on meats, veggies and even on pizza. Add it to any food that needs a kick. It's flavorful with a hint of smoke and lots of spice.

Our skin care line includes a variety of hand crafted products for your enjoyment and pampering. We use high quality, all-natural ingredients for products you'll be proud to put on your skin. As our products are not filled with chemicals and stabilizers, we recommend you store them in a cool location. Many items contain coconut oil which is wonderful for your skin, but has a low melting point.

We have our favorite whipped Body Butters. We blend shea butter and a wonderful combination of oils that is then whipped to perfection. This rich and creamy lotion goes on smooth and just a little goes a long way. This is pure luxury. It's now available in Lavender and Lily of the Valley scents.

Pair the Body Butters with a jar of our Sugar Scrub and you have a wonderful gift for you, or a friend. Our Sugar Scrub is a wonderful way to quickly smooth rough, dry skin as it ex-foliates. This is a great item that can be used all over, including your face. Just scoop it out, rub it in and rinse with warm water. Do take caution in a tub, or shower as the oils may be slippery.

We love our Healing Balm. This Healing Balm is excellent for all sorts of skin troubles. We use it for eczema, diaper rash, scrapes and cuts and more. It even takes the itch out of bug bites! It soothes extra dry, chapped, and cracked skin as well. Our customers have even found relief for healing incisions after stitches are removed and radiation treatments. We been making this Healing Balm for years now and will always keep on making it. It's clean, natural scent is wonderful. Try it once, and you'll be amazed.

We began making Vapor Rub after having children reading the ingredients and warnings on the commercial rubs' labels. This Vapor Rub is petroleum-free, non-toxic and works well. Do keep the lid on when not in use to keep the powerful essential oils at their peak.

We always have a tube of Lip Balm on hand. This luscious Lip Balm is handcrafted with all natural ingredients. We use sweet almond oil, beeswax, and real Honeyville Honey. Our Lip Balm is blended with Peppermint, Clove, Cinnamon and Lavender Essential Oils for a wonderful light flavor. It goes on smooth and lasts.

Years ago we decided to take life at a slower, simpler pace. We began to remove some things from our lives and add others that were more in line with what we wanted. With more time open to us, we began making more things from scratch and growing more of what we needed. It started out with food and expanded to all areas of our lives.

Experiments and new projects filled our home including our own line of all natural, hand crafted skin products. We been making our various balms and butters since 2009 and decided to share them with others.

Along the way, we outgrew our suburban life and moved out to five acres in the country. We started raising more food and animals and Orchard House Farm was established.

Recently, we relocated back to Durango where we are busy planning for our new homestead here in the Animas Valley. Our days are filled with all sorts of projects and learning and laughter, as well as copious amounts of tea. We happy to share a bit of our lives with you through the products we make and sell. We believe you will enjoy them as much as we do!

Whenever possible, we organically grow the herbs and flowers needed for our products ourselves. When we need to purchase additional herbs, we source them organically as well.
