Jenny, founder of Fruitful Beginnings

Hi, I’m Jenny. Welcome to Fruitful Beginnings.


I’m a wife, mom of three, homesteader, and the maker behind Fruitful Beginnings. On our Minnesota hobby farm, life is rooted in faith, family, and the simple things: tending the garden, preserving the harvest, and caring for what we bring into our home.

That same care goes into the products I make for you.

It began with a search for simpler care.


My experience with Crohn’s disease led me to look more closely at the choices I made for myself and my family. Living with eczema also made skincare personal. I wanted to understand the ingredients I was using and find care I felt comfortable reaching for every day.

In 2020, I started Fruitful Beginnings. What began as a personal journey grew into small-batch skincare and home essentials, thoughtfully made on our hobby farm.

My goal is simple: help you make intentional choices without making your everyday routine more complicated.

Made with intention. Shared with care.

Thoughtfully chosen ingredients

Clear ingredient lists and a simple approach to everyday care.

Small-batch craftsmanship

Products handcrafted with attention on our Minnesota hobby farm.

Faith, family, and community

A portion of every purchase supports Christian ministries and schools.

More than products—a place to gather.


Our farm is home to goats, sheep, chickens, our dog, and farm cats. The garden and greenhouse are where my love of growing, hospitality, and community come together.

Through classes, seasonal events, and gatherings, I welcome women to slow down, learn something new, and connect. Whether you join us in the greenhouse or invite Fruitful Beginnings into your daily routine, I’m grateful you’re here.
