About Us.

Hi friends, and welcome to The Smithstead!  

We’re Andrew and Tara — a committed couple, parents, homesteaders, and active-duty service members with over 30 years of combined military service. We believe in doing things with purpose, patience, and heart, both in uniform and at home.  

What started as a love for simple living and natural wellness has grown into a passion for creating small-batch, locally sourced, handcrafted products for our community. We take pride in our Fresh Finds, showcasing the best of Local Goodness.  

Everything we make is crafted by hand using clean, nourishing ingredients and traditional methods. We don’t believe in shortcuts — only in quality, integrity, and caring for people the way we’d want our own family cared for.  

The Smithstead is more than a business to us. It’s our way of sharing a slower, more intentional way of living — rooted in faith, family, service, and stewardship of the land. If you’d like to reach out to us, feel free to Contact Us anytime!  

Thank you for being here, for supporting our small business, and for being part of our journey. We’re so grateful for each of you. 💛  

— Our Family
