Ridge Pond Herbals' CPO (chief potion-making officer) Cari Balbo creates luxurious, nourishing herbal skincare products and tea blends on her small Maine homestead, Ridge Pond Farm, using ingredients grown or foraged on her land as much as possible, or purchased from trusted suppliers, typically organic, co-operative, and/or small-scale. To learn more about Ridge Pond Herbals and its creator, Cari is most active on Instagram (@ridgepondherbals for herb-related posts, @caribalbo for Cari's photography of her farm, other places she loves in Maine, and more personal photos/stories).
