Robert Tanner, a military veteran, has found a unique path to healing through farming and a tallow skincare line called Flock and Tallow. His journey from service to agriculture and entrepreneurship highlights the therapeutic power of nature and self-care.
From Service to Soil
After years in the military, Tanner sought a new purpose. He turned to farming, connecting with the land and animals. This lifestyle change provided a sense of calm and routine, helping him manage the mental and physical scars of service.
Launching Flock and Tallow
Tanner's skincare line, Flock and Tallow, uses tallow from his farm as a base. The products are designed to nourish skin naturally, reflecting his commitment to sustainable and healthy living. The business has become a source of pride and community engagement.
Healing Through Purpose
Tanner emphasizes that farming and entrepreneurship have been instrumental in his recovery. The daily tasks of caring for livestock and crafting skincare products offer a therapeutic outlet. He hopes his story inspires other veterans to explore alternative healing methods.
For Tanner, the combination of agriculture and natural skincare is more than a livelihood—it is a testament to resilience and the possibility of renewal after trauma.
