Our Story

At the heart of Artisanna Farms is Anna Judd — an artist rooted in the rhythms of the land, creating from a place where art, ecology, and intention converge. Her work moves across mediums, but the thread is always the same: reverence for what is real.

Each jar of balm continues this creative life — infused not only with healing plants but with the same integrity that shapes her paintings, her rituals, and her land-based collaborations.

Old ways are honored here.

Anna sources tallow directly with local ranches in Mendocino County, California, where the cows roam freely in the hills — grass-fed and prayerfully tended.

The chamomile and calendula are grown from seed and harvested by hand. The wild usnea — slow-growing lichen purifiers of the forest — is gathered only after storms, from fallen branches on the forest floor.

These plants are gently infused into the tallow over many days, then blended with organic cold-pressed oils and medical-grade manuka honey into a balm that nourishes deeply — skin, spirit, and story.

Each label is designed in her art studio. Each wax seal is hand-poured. The balm is made in ritual, under the same gaze that governs her paintings.

The result is a rare object: clean, potent, beautiful, and made to last.

This is elevated ancestral medicine — slow-made and story-rich. Whether you find it on a shelf or at a mountain farmstand, you are holding more than balm. You are holding a practice, a piece of art, and a way of life.
