Fat Crush: Red Leaf Ranch on Farming, Herbal Medicine, and Community
ππ₯¬π₯¦ If you daydream ALL THE TIME about your perfect, luscious garden then wiiiitch, do we have an account for you: @redleafranch! Brian (@brianbrigantti), founder of Red Leaf Ranch, is one of those magic people who seem to dose everything they do with beauty and fun (yes, even manual labor). Watching his gorgeous videos of harvest and abundance gives you a glimpse into how it would feel to just drop it all and start that dang garden- and thatβs exactly what they did. In March of 2020, Brian and his partner Domonick made the leap from NYC to rural Tennessee to tend to their green garden and nourish their literal roots by growing veggies and homesteading. For our fav @redleafranch videos, and more of their story, check out our most recent blog post. Link in bio, eat your veggies! π§π₯π₯π½π
Some of our fav videos are:Β Gardener Bae, Be Patient Be Present, Evening in the GardenΒ and Two Years Later

Resist what Persists: Silicone
We don't formulate with dimethicone or synthetic texture-building polymers because we're not trying to make botanicals behave like conventional skincare.
