J&C Homestead Co.
J&C Homestead Co. grew out of our passion
for sustainable living. We’re committed to returning to natural, clean food and products in our home.
Our tallow is sourced from our family farm and blended with just three simple, organic ingredients. Hi, we’re Jared and Christy Diekman, the "J&C" behind J&C Homestead Co. We have four amazing children and live on a beautiful 10 acre farm in Genoa, OH. was born out of our “homesteading era” that started this summer. We’ve been growing our garden, adding cattle to our farm, expanding our chicken flock, and discovering new ways to preserve and make the most of our harvest. As we explored different farming ideas, that’s when we discovered the world of tallow! Like many others, we’re on a journey to teach our children about living more sustainably and returning to natural, clean food and products in our home. Our tallow is sourced directly from our family farm and is blended with just three simple, organic ingredients. Tallow has amazing skin benefits! It moisturizes, hydrates, and helps balance your skin’s oil production. It’s also wonderful for skin irritations, such as eczema, redness, dry or cracked skin, and acne, thanks to its rich vitamins A, D, E, and K. Since tallow’s composition is similar to that of our skin, it helps provide the nutrients your skin needs when it’s dry or irritated. If you’re interested in trying our tallow balm, we’d love to get it in your hands! Feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to share our journey and our products with you!
