About us

Welcome! I'm Holly Keller, owner of Leaven & Lard. My husband and I have been married since 2011, raising three wonderful kids. As an Army Veteran, I have learned the value to hard work and resilience. I have found peace in slowing down and getting back to the basics, whether is it baking sourdough, tending to my chickens, or whipping up batches of tallow for natural skin care. It's not always picture-perfect, but it's real, rooted, and full of meaning.
