Falcon Creek Farm is located in a small town in the Missouri Ozarks.  Missouri is abundant in healing herbs that many call weeds.  We showcase these plants to highlight their benefits and have created a few products based on the properties of these herbs.  We do not use any fillers, parabens, preservatives or even water.  These medicinal herbs grow in prolific abundance on our farm where outdoor spaces are created based on organic permaculture based growing systems. 

As a teenager I experienced a severe health crisis. My mother and grandmother were very interested in using herbs and natural healing methods and that is how I started to learn about using plants as medicine. 

In 1986, I got a job in a local health food store and read everything I could get my hands on.   Since I read most of the books in the store, they asked me to be the store's book buyer.   Most of the books were geared towards using capsules though. 

In 2000 after another health crisis, I turned to food, herbs, breathing exercises, and movement. I started studying folk herbalism and learning how to make plant medicine full time in 2008. 

I create plant extracts, infused oils, herbal vinegar, dried teas, and spices from my organically grown herbs.  With them I make rubs/ salves, face creams, face cleaners, and a variety of other things you can find in our Etsy shop.

I give weed walks and small tours on the farm and am available to speak at garden clubs and festivals about natural growing methods and using weeds to improve gardens and health. 

As the former Sr. Quality Assurance Analyst for a large software company, I take great care in harvesting and processing.   My products are created with traditional ingredients that have been used for generations by thousands of people.  As many ingredients as possible are grown organically on the farm.  All infusions and extracts are made in small batches to ensure freshness. We hope you enjoy these products and that you learn something new on the site.

Graphics and package design have always inspired my creativity but my first love in life were the local plants. When I was quite young, about 2 or 3 years old, my mother took me on a guided tour of the spring flowers blooming in our rural, in St. Charles County, Missouri yard. I was mesmerized by the many varied patterns and amazing colors. Each blossom was more beautiful than the previous. I had never seen anything so incredible. For several days after that, I spent as much time outside in the yard as I could, hoping to find ever more treasures I was sure, were just around the next corner. One time, a neighboring farmer found me a mile and half from my home, sitting next to his pond looking at flowers.  He immediately returned me to my anxious and grateful parents. From then on, my outdoor excursions were closely monitored.

My love of plants and the outdoors did not end there. In my early twenties, I would take weekend motorcycle/camping trips to the Ozarks. I always took plant books along and attempted to identify as many native species as possible. I have always loved the Ozarks and eventually, a life long dream was realized when I was able to buy pristine land here upon which I have since hand-built my own home. Many native herbs already grow here and we are creating new beds to organically grow even more varieties. Once these natural medicinals are harvested, they too will be used in Missouri Herbs products.

As a graphic designer, it is my job to use images and text to tell a story. Upon meeting Jamie Jackson and learning about her passion for creating holistic herbal salves from her own organically grown plants and herbs, I realized I had found a story so compelling and so positive, it just had to be told. It is with great personal satisfaction that I have aligned my efforts with Jamie Jackson and Missouri Herbs to help bring to all of you this great story of how to maintain your personal health, and that of your family, simply, by using herbs and the healing power imbued within plants, effectively, with no side effects, and for relative pennies. To your health!

update: Ken passed away Sep 22, 2021 but his work for Missouri Herbs lives on

When it’s harvest time, these are the local friends that show up to help. We get big bowls and snips and get to work. We end the day with a potluck, bon fire, laughter and drumming! I couldn’t do it without them.
