The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Like many businesses, we’ve weathered challenges such as economic downturns and the disruption of COVID-19. We’ve also had to constantly educate the market about the benefits of fresh herbal extracts in an industry dominated by mass-produced alternatives. Through resilience, innovation and staying true to our values, we’ve continued to grow and evolve.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The biggest pro is the freedom to create a business that reflects our values and makes a positive impact on people’s lives. Seeing our products help people feel healthier and more confident is incredibly rewarding.
On the flip side, running your own business means constant responsibility and never really switching off – but the passion we feel for what we do keeps us motivated.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
This year we proudly launched our new brand, Indie + Mae. We feel this brings a fresh new energy to a wider offering, while staying true to our philosophy of safe, 100% natural wellness. We’re excited to keep innovating with fresh herbal skincare at The Herb Farm, while also growing Indie + Mae. Plus, welcoming more and more stockists on board. Alongside this, we’re working on new product developments and continuing to create a destination where people can reconnect with nature, wellbeing and themselves.
