Meet the Maker: The Farmer’s Body Story

How a Vermont Dentist Turned a Handcrafted Lip Balm Into a Brand That Connects and Cares

At Farmer’s Body, we believe the things you give — to your patients, your customers, your community — should be as thoughtful and nourishing as the care you provide.
But this story didn’t start with a brand.
It started with a balm.

From Busy Practice to Small-Batch Passion

Hi, I’m Meggan — dentist, mom of three, and founder of Farmer’s Body.
Years ago, between patient care and parenting, I found myself craving something quieter. Something hands-on. Something rooted in nature and creativity.

So I started making lip balm in my kitchen. Not just any lip balm — one with real ingredients I could trust, with flavors that made people smile, and a texture that actually worked.

Friends and family began asking for more.
Then my patients.
Then my colleagues.
And before long, what started as a weekend craft became something more.

Why Lip Balm?

Because it’s small.
But it’s personal.

Lip balm is something we all reach for. It goes with us in our bags, in our cars, on our desks. It’s the little touch that comforts, soothes, and makes us feel just a little more cared for.

When that balm carries your brand, it becomes more than a product.
It becomes a message:

“I see you. I care. I choose quality.”

That’s the kind of feeling I wanted to help other women-led businesses share.

A Brand That Reflects What Matters

Today, Farmer’s Body creates handcrafted, custom-labeled lip balms for:

• Dentists who want to delight patients

• Boutiques that care about small-batch quality

• Businesses that give with meaning

• Event hosts who believe in beautiful, usable gifts

We partner with small U.S. manufacturers and carefully select every flavor and label to ensure it reflects the kind of care that never feels mass-produced.

And our name?
It’s a nod to Vermont, where we live — to hard-working hands, natural beauty, and the bodies we care for with love and simplicity.

It’s Not About Lip Balm. It’s About What You Leave Behind.

When a patient opens their post-visit bag and finds a beautifully branded balm…
When a boutique shopper picks up a lip balm that smells like orange clove and says, “This feels like me”…
When a customer tells you they keep your balm in their purse and think of your practice every time they use it…

That’s not just a product. That’s a connection.
That’s what we’re here for.

From My Hands to Yours

Thank you for supporting a woman-owned business rooted in intention, joy, and integrity.
We can’t wait to help you create something beautiful, useful, and truly unforgettable for your brand.
