Welcome to Enchanted Herbals

Hi, I’m Tracey!

I was born and raised on a farm here in south central Kansas.  As an adult, I became curious about our natural world and how we can work with it instead of against it.  Personally, I think we’re more connected to the natural world than we realize and I’m curious about how we can work with nature in ways that benefit us both.

Truthfully, I don’t think there is a lifetime long enough to learn it all, but I’m certainly enjoying the journey.  That’s my passion–to be curious and learn more about how we can work well with the natural world in a way that allows us to care for the natural world while it cares for us.  And then share with anyone who wants to know what I’m learning along the way.🌿

My husband and I run Rusty Chain Farm.  We’re a small chicken and egg farm in the heart of Butler County, Kansas. Our farm has become our peaceful life and we love providing fresh local meat and eggs to those who want it.

Thank you for visiting. I’m I’m excited to share everything I discover with you! 🌿

I didn’t start this journey early.  I was well into my mid life when I started wondering about more natural approaches to health.  That started with things like massage therapy and herbal teas.  I didn’t set out to be an herbalist, I really just wanted to know how to make a good cup of herbal tea and relax sore muscles naturally.

Later I became more curious.  One question led to another and I started reading books and taking classes.  I got curious about what most folks talk about as weeds.  Weeds were free and through the books I’d read I realized they were worth so much more than we gave them credit for.  Many of them turned out to be incredibly valuable and powerful medicinal plants.

My grandkids both struggled with eczema as babies.  My search for a product to help them taught me how many chemicals were used in our everyday skincare.  That set me on a path to learn more about how these natural plants could be used in so many different ways.

This curiosity led me to everyday herbal remedies, skin care, home care and more.  

The more I learn, the more I realize there is to learn.  It’s led me to learn how to live more naturally, eat seasonally, and locally when and where I can.  It’s taught me how to use nature and my own mind to help calm my nervous system and to help with pain.  Who knows what else is waiting to be discovered.

Enchanted Herbals started as a place to teach people how to use herbs in recipes for skincare and everyday remedies.  Over time, it’s grown into something a little different.  Now it’s simply a place where I share what I’m learning and invite you to come along on this journey with me.

I hope you’ll join me.  Maybe one day, something you discover here will inspire you to share that same curiosity with someone else. 🌿
