In this episode of Coffee in the Barn, we welcome Charles Mayfield, founder of FARROW Skincare, whose unique journey bridges CrossFit, paleo nutrition, and regenerative agriculture. Charles shares how his personal experiences—ranging from a painful sunburn to deep-rooted agricultural practices—led him to create a skincare line using rendered pig fat (lard) that promotes natural healing and supports sustainable farming.
We explore the links between what we eat, what we put on our skin, and the larger ecosystem of health and farming. Charles opens up about the surprising regulatory gaps in skincare safety, the microbiome on our skin, the truth about modern sunscreens, and how honoring animal by-products can reduce waste and support both people and the planet.
