Who we are

Hello! I’m Joanna Self 👋

I’m the hands and heart behind Red Barn Living — where everything is made fresh, made simple, and made with love, from our Barn to your home. 

After walking through some health issues of my own a few years ago, I began to take a closer look at what I was putting on and in my body. What started as a small effort to replace store-bought products with natural, nontoxic, homemade alternatives slowly became a way of life — and eventually, a business that I love and enjoy. 

From grass-fed beef tallow skincare and other wellness and beauty products, to homemade sourdough, Red Barn Living grew out of my desire to live more intentionally — choosing ingredients I trust, making things from scratch, and creating products that are non-toxic, nourishing and good for you, and rooted in simplicity.

Thanks for being here. I’m truly grateful to share this journey and these goods and products with you. 🌾You will find me in person most Saturdays, May - October, at The Buffalo Gap Farmer’s Market from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm.
