Deborah grew up in a family of gardeners and farmers, and SHF allows her to share that heritage with her family. Her parents and both sets of grandparents raised cotton, as well as vegetables and flowers. Many of the flowers found at Stone Hollow Farmstead originated in Deborah's g

Crafted with an obsession for detail, this Smithey square grill pan is the perfect companion for year-round grilling indoors or out. The pan’s wide raised interior ridges create deep, attractive grill marks while the polished peaks release food with ease. The diagonal ridge layout allows you to easily achieve beautiful crosshatch patterns by rotating food in simple 90-degree turns. And by elevating your vegetables, seafood, and meats above the cooking surface, oils and fats will drip away resulting in healthier, lower-fat cooking.
We think this is the best grill pan on the market & are already planning our al fresco dinner menus around this beautiful piece.

COCO LAVENDER MILK BATH | Great skincare isn't just for the face. Our Coco Lavender Milk Bath is made up of quality ingredients - a luxurious blend of essential oils and aroma compounds including lavender absolute and coconut extract. Immerse your body and allow your being to escape for a brief interlude.
Ingredients to know —
Dead Sea Salt:
Detoxifying and mineral rich, Himalayan Salt makes the perfect base for a soak — containing 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc, and potassium.
Soaking in water enriched with this salt is known to benefit the body from the inside out, treating skin conditions and improving internal processes.
Coconut Milk Powder:
The natural fatty acids in coconut milk help treat dry and irritated skin and removes harmful bacteria. It also helps sunburns by cooling the skin and reducing pain, swelling, and redness.
Sodium Bicarbonate:
Soothes irritated skin by alleviating itching, burning, and rough, dry, or flaky patches. Replenishes the elasticity of the skin, making it feel smooth, soft, and supple.
Epsom Salt:
This salt improves circulatory health, particularly in the extremities of the body, leading to better muscle contraction and temperature regulation.
Coconut Fruit Extract:
This is a highly absorbent and nourishing extract that is valued for its hydrating properties. Coconut Extract is a humectant, meaning it moisturizes the body and helps prevent water loss.

Who is planning their spring gardens? 🤍
Drink it. Shoot it. Mix it. Blend it. Spike it. Love it. There’s no wrong way to enjoy this infused ACV teeming with immune-boosting turmeric. Our organic apple cider vinegar base gets its flavor-enhancing jolt from organic turmeric root grown on our Harpersville farm. Layering in our signature lemongrass hydrosol, honey, lemon & red pepper gives this vinegar a balance that is only complemented by the addition of garlic, cinnamon, clove, star anise & cardamom.
What’s the best way to use is? Beyond imbibing the daily 2-ounce shot, this golden ACV is perfectly paired with a fruity olive oil to dress your salad greens. We’ve also never said ‘no’ to mixing it with some mineral water & a little vodka or gin. Garnish with lavender & you’ll swear you’re on a spa vacation.
Time is swiftly moving, 2023 is upon us & springtime is just around the corner.
This means SHF flowers will soon be brightening our days with their beauty. While our incredible retail team was bustling through the holiday season in town, our team at the farm has been busy planting & editing spring gardens which is giving us something to look forward to — our Spring CSA Flower Share.
What is the Spring Flower Share?
10 weeks of fresh flowers from our Harpersville farm. Your flowers will be ready for pick-up on Tuesday or Thursday of each week at our Birmingham Outpost, FarmStand by Stone Hollow located at Pepper Place.
Mother nature oversees the seasons, so with that in mind, our Spring CSA Flower Share will begin in late March or early April & run for 5 to 10 weeks. Once the flowers begin to bloom, we will let you know the launch date on which you can expect your first share of the year. Each week you will receive approximately 20 to 30 stems of the farms’ best flowers. This could be a single variety or a combination of different blooms.
Flowers grown for Spring 2023 Flower Shares include: Daffodils, Jonquils, Sweet peas, Poppies, Ranunculus, Hellebores, Tulips, Hyacinth, Iris, Fritillaria, Peonies, Snap Dragons & more!
What is the Cost:
Flower Share Options —
5-week bundle of 20-30 blooms $276.25
10-week bundle of 20-30 blooms $520.00
5-week bouquet of 20-30 blooms $300.00
10-week bouquet of 20-30 blooms $550.00
What to Expect:

Spring flowers generally have a very long vase life & will typically last 7-10 days.
Gifting Options:
Is this a gift for someone? If you would like to include a message with the first shipment, fill out the note card and we will include it.

There’s no doubt that the weather has a direct impact on your skin.
Colder temperatures coupled with low humidity can deplete your skin of moisture, coupled with central heating indoors makes even the oiliest of skins feel dry. The end result leaves our skins dehydrated, and itchy, & oftentimes, leads to blocked pores.
Slight adjustments to any skincare program can make a world of difference in temporary seasonal skin conditions. The use of a gentle exfoliant & moisture-locking ingredients will be a huge help during these winter months.
Throughout the year, we are planting, growing, & distilling. Then processing & blending exquisite herbs & extracts into skin-nourishing products to help you manage all of your skin concerns.
Herbs like Calendula, Rose Geranium, & Rose, just to name a few are crops grown at Stone Hollow with the single focus being the holistic health of your largest organ — your skin.
Here are our top 5 best-sellers during these winter months:
Soothing Oil Cleanser
Papaya Enzyme
Calendula Moisturizer
Nourish Vitamin E Oil
Firming Eye & Lip Cream

SMITHEY CARBON STEEL WOK | The wok, like the cast iron skillet, is an iconic cooking tool for millions of people across a diverse array of cuisines around the world. While woks today tend to be mass produced from cheaply stamped metal, there is a rich legacy of artisan wok design – the work of the Cen brothers in Shanghai comes to mind - that combined beauty, function and longevity.
The Smithey wok seeks to honor this legacy, with a stunning hammered form optimized for the modern home cook. Utilizing a lighter weight carbon steel, this pre-seasoned wok weighs around 3 pounds and is designed for high heat cooking and lots of movement. The flat bottom ensures stability and surface contact across a range of heat sources from gas to induction to electric, while the functional depth makes it ideal for everything from classic stir fries to sautéing, steaming, boiling, even light frying.
