Rebecca and Shannon sit down with Jessie Bidlack of Sweet Prairie Farm to talk ranching, rendering, and the return of traditional tallow skincare. From pasture-raised cattle to small-batch, handcrafted balms, Jessie shares how her Central Montana homestead transforms a time-honored ingredient into nourishing, value-added products.
