    Our Ingredients
  • Mother/Daughter Owners of Meadowlark Made Iowa

    Women Owned

    Starting out as a simple request from Sydney to her mom Heather for safe, all-natural products for her son, has transformed into something much more meaningful. With a background in esthetics and a passion for using pure, wholesome ingredients, they teamed up to handcraft skincare and body care that they could trust for their family. Seeing the incredible benefits of these products, they decided to turn their labor of love into a business.

    Our Products
Nourishing Meadowlark Made Pasture-Raised Pork Tallow

We love that more and more people are turning back to ancestral ingredients — and tallow is one of the most nourishing.

Our skincare is made with pasture-raised pork tallow from Kunekune pigs on our family farm. Like beef tallow, it’s rich in skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K; but pork tallow contains especially high levels of vitamin D, a key nutrient for skin repair and radiance.

It also has a lighter texture and milder scent than beef tallow, creating a silky, easily absorbed balm that feels as good as it is for you.

Inspired by the rhythms of the land and the wisdom of our foremothers, our Seasonal Offerings celebrate the turning of time. From prairie herbs in bloom to cozy winter blends, each limited release is handcrafted in small batches using ingredients grown, foraged, or harvested at just the right moment.

Our Family Farm

Meadowlark Made begins on our small, family farm where heritage Kunekune pigs graze on open pasture and medicinal herbs grow in the prairie wind. This is where we slow-render tallow, gather botanicals, and carry on the work of generations before us. Everything we make is guided by faith, shaped by the seasons, and starts here.
