Benny's EPM Treatment

We’re seeing some worrying signs in our sweet Benny. Lately, Benny has been walking with a bit of a “choppy” gait, especially in his back legs. At first, it was subtle, but soon enough, we knew something wasn’t quite right.

A Closer Look: Benny's Exam

We called in Dr. Metcalf to give Benny a thorough exam. After a round of treatment for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) back in April, it was surprising to see Benny showing neurological symptoms again. While it’s unusual for EPM to resurface this quickly, Dr. Metcalf wasn’t taking any chances.

An ultrasound of Benny's back tendons revealed some surprising findings. The tendons measured 28mm, well above the typical 15-17mm in most draft horses. Dr. Metcalf tried injecting lidocaine to see if the issue was pain-related, but the results were inconclusive.

A Step Back: Side-Winding & Neurological Concerns

Just days later, we saw a concerning development—Benny started walking sideways, or "side-winding," as we call it. This confirmed that his issues were neurological in nature. We’ve decided to restart his EPM treatment and hope to see some improvement in the next two weeks.

What is EPM?

EPM is an autoimmune disease caused by a protozoan parasite that affects the nervous system. It’s common in the South, where wildlife like skunks and possums can spread the disease through their droppings. Benny isn’t the first animal we’ve cared for who’s faced this challenge; we've seen a wide range of cases here at the Sanctuary, from mild to devastating. For Benny, we’re hopeful the medication will help him return to his normal, happy self.

Holding on to Hope

While this is an emotional journey for all of us, we’re encouraged by the support Benny’s receiving and his ongoing bond with his best friend Maggie. We’re watching him closely every day, tracking any changes or improvements. For now, all we can do is wait and pray for positive results.

Thank you for sending your love and well wishes to our sweet Benny. We know the power of community, and we’re grateful to have you by our side as we continue this journey together!

1 Out of 150 — or 0.67%

That's how many products one can say are truly worth it in a market overloaded with skincare choices.

Just think back on all the different clothing brands you've tried. How many do you still swear by?

That little sliver you see above is where you'll find Full Moon Dip®.

Skeptical? That's okay. Keep reading so you know this is more than hype!

I can't summarize things into one perfect sound bite.

But if you're looking for one woman's obsession to create something that can bring a beautiful, iridescent glow to your face, then just give me 2 minutes of your time by continuing below.

Inspired by the Virtual World

In the last few years, when video calls became a “thing”, so did the race to figure out how to look better under any lighting because most lighting makes us look tired and quite frankly, terrible!

Think back for a moment: you joined a work call or FaceTimed your girlfriends. But the combo of poor lighting and camera quality washed out your face and made you look worse!

Maybe you thought, “why did I even bother to put on makeup?!”

I had that same experience.

It inspired me to find a way to help women highlight their natural beauty under any lighting.

To give them a gorgeous, awakened and radiant sheen (no Instagram filters or Photoshop necessary).

With or without makeup.

But adding something to a routine would need to work for everyone, on camera or in person.

It has to have a barely-there texture and the right ingredients to be compatible with every skin type (especially dry skin).

Let me explain how we did just that (and I'll show you the results in real, undoctored photos)...

7 Formulations + Sunlight, Office Light & On-Camera Tests

When you use Full Moon Dip®, achieving a beautiful glow like this will be effortless:

But formulating it was incredibly difficult.

One thing I knew we'd do for certain is start with the billowy texture of our cult-classic body moisturizer, Moon Dip®.

The texture is as light as air. And the three botanicals are perfect for all skin types:

Jojoba oil to moisturize and nourish the skin without clogging pores.

Organic cucumber extract (from FarmHouse Fresh grown cucumbers) to improve the look of skin texture through vitamin C and key antioxidants.

US-grown non-GMO soybean oil to reduce dryness with a spectrum of omega fatty acids.

But something needed to be added so it could provide you with an incredible glow. I wasn't certain how to get a universally flattering sheen for all skin tones.

We tried 7 different ingredient combinations and spent hours with each formula testing its look under makeup, over makeup, lightly tapped on cheekbones - and also in sunlight, in office light and on camera across 5 skin tones.

We found the winning combination: a blend of natural mica minerals with a hint of pink, which provides a beautiful iridescent natural sheen. (Keep reading to see real-world photo examples.)

That's why this is known as Full Moon Dip®… it's like a light pink dusting of radiance that hits every high point of the face — just like moonlight would on a clear night.

See for yourself across so many skin types in the images below — the youthful glow is real!

This was Just an Overview

More (Home-Grown) Good Face Days

And we're thankful you're taking this journey with us.

From small-town Texas, to the celebrity-filled hills of LA, to being featured in the highest-rated luxury spas and cosmopolitan hotels of Dubai, Three Milk Ageless Moisturizer has grown to become THE #1 fan favorite—beating out 240+ other products thanks to its home-grown formulation of 3 nourishing botanical milks.

You have our attention and our gratitude for making it a perennial best-seller.

And if you're like most of our customers, we realize that you went through dozens of different moisturizers before discovering Three Milk. Our heart is full as it's become a must-have staple in morning and nighttime routines, a timeless go-to that works effortlessly in varied conditions — with makeup, under your sunblock, or in tandem with favorite powders — all without the unflattering shine.

No Filter

No redness. No shine. Just a reduction in wrinkles from your nose to mouth, around the eyes, and across the forehead.

This luxurious ageless moisturizer uniquely combines the revitalizing effects of three of nature's most calming and purifying milks: coconut milk, milk thistle, and milk vetch.

These nourishing botanicals work in unison with our clinical, advanced peptides to dramatically reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles while providing an almost immediate feeling of a lift. It's like an instant glow-up (that just keeps going).

In short, Three Milk brings you the luxury spa experience we're famous for—your home.

But like so many of our other customers, you've likely tried dozens of options before without positive results. What could possibly make Three Milk different?

Precision (and Persistence)

There's a craft to product development; and new product development takes years of research, dedication, and testing.

One of our biggest hurdles with Three Milk was trying to reduce the amount of glycerin you're exposed to vs. other skincare products people rely on.

There's nothing inherently wrong with glycerin, but too much of it can make the final product unreliable with certain skin types.

We wanted Three Milk to work for you no matter your skin type or tolerance for glycerin.

So we minimized the glycerin and maximized the ceramides—a far better option, especially for those looking to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles.

Ceramides naturally occur in the skin and serve as the binder that holds our skin together. But as we age, our naturally-occurring ceramides diminish.

This is why we knew ceramides were the better choice for you.

Compared to glycerin, they're more expensive for us to include in Three Milk, but for better skin we insisted on a precision selection of only the best ingredients and botanicals.

It took almost 15 different formulations, and thousands of hours of testing on the spa table with our expert estheticians and massage therapists who have a combined 128 years of experience in the industry. They tested Three Milk after steaming the face, adding oils, mixing it with other products, putting it on before makeup, and after using a booster.

We didn't stop until we had a formula that worked in all of these conditions.

FarmHouse Fresh has been voted among the top 3 spa brands by American Spa Magazine for 12 years in a row.

(Neighborhood) Local

We're not just grown in the US — we're grown here on our Texas farm. Our ingredients are as fresh as fresh can get.

We are committed to sustainability and keeping our supply chain as close to Texas as possible. And when we do have to source beyond the neighborhood, we've partnered to feature ingredients, caps, glass bottles, and more from “made in USA” suppliers, farmers, and manufacturers in our vicinity.

Bottomline: Your ingredients are inherently fresher and more nutrient rich vs. others that have to travel across oceans and through shipping ports while sitting in containers for 70+ days.

What does this mean for you? You get our best, richest vitamins at their peak for your most natural, enduring glow-up.

No Empty Promises Here

We're not happy unless you're happy. If you don't love Three Milk, we'll gladly refund the full purchase price if returned within 30 days of the original purchase date.

Your Personal Taste of Hollywood

Each FarmHouse Fresh product was specially formulated using up to 100% natural ingredients and botanicals to give you the power to unlock the best version of yourself.

Half our team is made of expert, licensed estheticians and massage therapists with over 128 years of combined experience. It often takes up to 2 years and 17 18 19 different formulations to develop a single cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator, or other skincare product.

We consider every possible ingredient and discard anything that doesn't deliver results the right way: with natural botanical extracts and ingredients grown and sourced within the US.

No filler ingredients. No cruel animal testing. No empty promises.

This commitment to expertise and quality ingredients is what makes us a favorite amongst the stars of Hollywood and others in the entertainment industry.

Their faces are shown everywhere, blown up 100x on billboards, movie screens, and buildings in Times Square where every single pore and wrinkle can be closely examined.

For them, high quality skincare products are not a want, but an absolute necessity.

“To give Lisa's skin that healthy glow that can only come from sheer hydration, I prepped her face with FarmHouse Fresh's Moon Dip Facial Mousse. The perfect kiss of moisturizer that never feels heavy or interferes with makeup.”

- Brett Freedman, Celebrity Makeup Artist

Before Reba McEntire hosted the 53rd Annuals Country Music Association Awards, the country icon got her glow on with FarmHouse Fresh!

Marlee Matlin, who stars in the 2022 Best Picture-winning film CODA, was prepped for Hollywood's biggest night by celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman, who whipped out his favorite FarmHouse Fresh all-stars for the evening.

But our products are not only for them.

Our vision from the very beginning was to put the revitalizing power of natural and potent ingredients in the hands of anyone who wanted it. It doesn't matter if you have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or if you're going downtown to catch up with friends or if you're taking your kids to soccer practice.

We all deserve to share our beauty with the world.

Ingredients Grown & Sourced in the USA

Our goal is to give customers the highest quality money can buy so we can save as many animals as possible at our FHF Sanctuary.

To date, we've rescued forgotten, neglected and abused farm animals. But that's only made possible by customers like you.

In order to ensure the highest quality, we need to oversee as much of the process as possible, from seed to bottle.

That means growing our own ingredients at our Texas farm. When we need an ingredient that we can't possibly grow due to the Texas climate, we still make sure to source it from another farm in the US.

We feel it's our moral responsibility to support our home. For your skin health, for American jobs, and for the animals we save each year.

While it costs us more to do each step in the US, we think the quality and impact make it worth it.

If we could go back in time and start over again, we wouldn't change a single thing about how we source ingredients.

We're Not Happy Unless You're Happy

If you don't love your purchase, we'll gladly refund the full price if returned within 30 days of the original purchase date. And yes, you can actually use the product before returning it! (We're not sure why some brands don't let their customers actually try their products before returning them.)
