Sarah Vezzani is the owner, with her husband Mike, of Herbal Embrace, a business arm of Vezzani Agricultural Ventures, LLC. They are both trained in permaculture design principles. Her herbal teas and products have a signature feeling when you use them - you can taste and feel an indescribable something that is very special.

In their adult lives, health issues popped up for Sarah and Mike that they couldn't find answers to in the conventional healthcare system. They did their own research and made a lot of changes to nutrition, products they were using, and what they were including in their environments. Sarah discovered she is sensitive to chemicals and fragrances, such that just walking through a store can give her a migraine. This was a problem when she was working as a chemical engineer for a consumer products company that had fragrances everywhere.

The Vezzanis had been feeling a growing call to live a more natural life, connected with the natural world, and to raise their family rooted in natural principles. Eventually they started making their own home and body care products. They secured a 2-acre homestead and began building a house and garden where they now live fulltime. They ultimately left their corporate jobs and started an herbal products company and Sarah completed training at Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing in Springville, Utah with a Masters in Herbology. 

Sarah and Mike named their farmstead A Place to Come in reference to Wendell Berry's writings on how the family farm has become a place to leave rather than a place to come. They seek to reverse this in their family's life and make their home a symbol of the "Hope that is within us." (1 Peter 3:15). They believe that nature connects each of us to God, and that by working the soil on the land, we do God's work (with a lot of spiritual refining along the way!)
