About Us
Mint 2 Bees is built on a simple idea:
The earth already gives us what we need. Our work is to honor those resources, understand them, and craft them into remedies that support everyday well-being.
About Ashley
Ashley has a background in biology, nutrition, and psychology, and she has spent her career working in cancer research. She has been in the field since 2011. Although she values her work, her long-term dream is to build a life centered on full-time homesteading and natural apothecary practices.
Ashley was diagnosed with autism at a young age and was often told she might struggle in traditional settings. Instead, she has created a path defined by curiosity, determination, and a commitment to learning. These qualities continue to guide both her professional work and her passion for natural wellness.
Her journey into traditional health began in 2011 after experiencing several personal health challenges. Through research and lived experience, she found that traditional approaches to diet, lifestyle, and herbal support often provided more relief than modern interventions alone. We believe that modern medicine is important and has its place, but we also encourage starting with traditional, science-supported practices when possible.
Ashley is grateful for the support of her family, who encourage her to continue pursuing her goals and building the life she envisions on the homestead.
Blending Tradition and Science
We combine traditional homestead wisdom with practical, grounded science to create tinctures, lotions, oils, teas, and other small-batch wellness goods. Every product begins with a plant, a mineral, or a naturally sourced ingredient. Each one is real, living, and carefully prepared to preserve its natural benefits.
Harmony With the Land
Our approach is rooted in respect for the land and the natural cycles that sustain it. We rely on ingredients we grow, gather, or prepare ourselves, using simple extraction methods, clean formulations, and no unnecessary additives. Each batch is handcrafted with intention, guided by the biology of the plants and the chemistry behind how they support the body.
