How we got started.
See a need, fill a need.
Old Glassware, Good friends and a bouncing baby boy...
Shortly after purchasing a property in NW IA in 2005, the realization we had way too much stuff, lead to us getting a wholesale license and selling on Ebay turning it into a successful business model it was never intended to be. In 2006, we welcomed Nick into our lives. Suddenly, priorities changed and we were faced with wanting only the best and most affordable for our son. At a discussion one weekend with a group of friends, we mentioned our desire to purchase essential oils and herbs to make our own sanitary wipes, bugs spray, and cleaners. Our friends were also intrigued with getting more affordable metaphysical items, mainly Sage, herbs, and essential oils. Since we already had a wholesale license, why not buy from a wholesaler and split the cost? Thus Earth Folk was born.
Why Earth Folk?
What's in a name?
Naming sounds like a simple task, right? So why is it so difficult and time consuming? We went weeks trying to determine what this shop should be called. It was not something we saw as ours. I know it sounds confusing, try to stay with me as I explain. Being we are of the spiritual, new age, metaphysical and natural products, it had to reflect this. Most importantly, it had to reflect those who made it happen, our friends and customers, the folk behind it all.
Meditating on all this one night by the fire, watching the flames dance and sparks float up into the air like little fire faeries. Observing the dance between the fire elements, others joined into the ballet. Leaves and dust were lifted into the air, a faint misty fog rolled in from the prairie grasses. The earthly elements were in a merry party that I had an invitation to. In the shadows there seemed to be other spirits dancing as well around the perimeter. I found myself in a true midsummer night's dream. I was surrounded by fae of the earth, earth folk.
On with the show!
We got a lot of request to attend different events.
