Glow with Purpose - The FarmHouse Fresh Philosophy

Skincare that saves goats? That’s not your typical beauty routine. But then again, FarmHouse Fresh is anything but ordinary. Every time you lather up with their beloved cleanser or slather on Fluffy Bunny® shea butter, you’re not just nourishing your skin—you’re helping rescue a baby goat, pig, or fuzzy farm friend in need.


So, who is FarmHouse Fresh? FarmHouse Fresh offers a luxurious line of farm-to-skin skincare made with natural, sustainable ingredients. Their handcrafted, eco-conscious formulas promote healthy, glowing skin while supporting small-scale farming and animal rescue. It’s beauty with a mission, from soil to spa.

Where Beauty Meets Heart: A Farmhouse Full of Purpose

Just 30 minutes outside Dallas in McKinney, Texas, sits the 20-acre sanctuary that is FarmHouse Fresh’s heart. When Team Live Love Spa visited in July 2025, we weren’t just impressed—we were moved.

At the helm is Shannon McLinden, Founder and CEO—a true visionary. Whether she’s describing a magical farm event or sharing dreams for the animals she’s rescued, Shannon speaks with such enthusiasm and clarity, it’s as if you’re getting a glimpse into a better future. You don’t just want to listen—you want to be part of it. The best part? You already are—just by purchasing their skincare.

Live Love Spa and FarmHouse Fresh go way back—they’ve been with us since our very first event 13 years ago, and this partnership keeps growing. We’re incredibly grateful to have them join us for our upcoming National Wellness Month Trends Event, where they’ll share in our vision of prioritizing self-care, cultivating healthy habits, and spotlighting spa brands that are making a real impact. Together, we’re creating a platform where the best in spa and wellness can shine.

Skincare That Rescues Animals

FarmHouse Fresh donates 15% of its profits to animal rescue, and their farm is home to 59 animals—horses, donkeys, goats, bunnies, and more saved from neglect or slaughter.

We met some of these animals on our visit, and their stories stayed with us:

  • 🐴 Brooks – A donkey rescued from a kill auction, once matted and neglected, now thriving and full of life.
  • 🐐 Arlo – A miniature donkey born during a thunderstorm after his mom, Pepper, was rescued from a sale barn.
  • 🐰 Benjamin Bunny – A Christmas Day breech birth baby, now bouncing around with charm to spare.

Every product includes a batch number that connects directly to an animal’s rescue story—so your skincare routine becomes an act of love.

“We’re rescuing complexions and animals.”
— Shannon McLinden, Founder of FarmHouse Fresh

An Insider Glimpse: The Farm, The Feeling, The Why

The farm feels like stepping into a real-life Studio McGee dream with vaulted ceilings, whitewashed walls, and warm minimalism, with joyful pops of colorful animal art throughout. Even the bathrooms are hand-painted, each featuring its own whimsical bunny theme.

Design is intentional everywhere—from the guest suites to the shipping area, each space infused with beauty, soul, and purpose.

Shannon lives on-site and cares for the animals with the same devotion that built the brand—checking on them through the night if needed. That spirit is contagious. Ashlee Heirs, who began as an intern 15 years ago and now leads spa partnerships, radiates that same enthusiasm. Over a meal at the long, family-style dining table, she recalled the early days—sitting in the living room with co-founder Delia McLinden, assembling trade show kits late into the night, laughing through the exhaustion. “I loved every minute of it and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else,” she shared. That kind of culture doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built by people who truly care.

A Trend Worth Following: Purpose‑Driven Wellness

In a world where wellness can sometimes feel surface-level, FarmHouse Fresh digs deeper. They've intentionally stayed out of big-box retail to focus on meaningful relationships with spas—where their products are used with care by professionals who understand their impact.

What We Took Away from the Farm
