Description

Locally-made artisan soap, tea and salve, handcrafted with herbs from the Mount Pleasant Herbary Garden located in the rolling hills of northern Wayne County. Proprietor, Gudren Feigl, maintains the 2-acre farm surrounded by open farm land and wildflower meadows which grew from the inspiration of her native land in Germany. "Starting in early spring, we start preparing our herb beds for the season. Herbs are being clipped several times throughout the growing season, then put on screens to dry in the drying shed. The dried herbs are then either blended together into herbal teas, ground up for our soaps, or used in infusions for herbal salves. My neighbor Kathy has taken over the business of sewing all the eye pillows, neck pillows, sachets, booboo pillows and catnip toys."

Gudrun generously donated:
-Dream Pillow
-Herbal foot bath
-Lemongrass soap
-Shea Butter Lotion Bar
-Bug repellent
-Plantain Salve (soothing after beestings and bug bites)

Pamper yourself and then cover yourself in a luxurious Uruguayan merino wool poncho using your $50 gift certificate to BRONCA. Merino wool is a natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber. Lighter and softer than regular wool, it is itch-free, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant, odor-cancelling, and helps to regulate your body temperature. In cooler climates, natural waves in merino wool trap air, keeping us warm. In hotter climates, it transports sweat away from skin, keeping us cool and dry. Fifty percent of Broncha's profits are donated to feed underprivileged children around the world. Go to Broncha's website to read more about their mission.

BRONCA's story:

BRONCA was founded in 2018 by twin brothers Jose Ignacio and Juan Pablo Portela. Though born in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo, at the age of five they moved with their family to a small, rural town. As adults, they built BRONCA with one clear mission: to nourish and support underprivileged children around the world.

BRONCA produces rural goods, similar to those the Portelas used and loved when they lived in the Uruguayan countryside, but with a contemporary twist—and fifty percent of profits go to feeding kids who have been dealt an unfair hand from the start.
