👨🍳 I’m a chef. A homesteader. And I’m done with the pharmaceutical shuffle.
I’m Chef Bear from Schmidt Homestead Remedies—a one‑man apothecary in Butlerville, Indiana. I grow, dry, and blend organic herbs into alcohol‑free teas, honeys, oxymels (herbal vinegars), spice blends, and even natural smoking herbs.
Why am I on Spotfund?
Because I need $1,000 to buy my first bulk order of organic herbs, local raw honey, and apple cider vinegar. That’s it. No factory, no investors—just plants, a few acres, and your help.
Here’s exactly where the money goes:
🌱 $400 → Organic dried herbs (chamomile, passionflower, tulsi, peppermint, mullein, etc.)
🍯 $250 → 2‑quart supply of local raw honey for honeys & oxymels
🧂 $100 → Spices + apple cider vinegar
📦 $150 → Bottles, tin jars, pouches, labels
💰 100 covers Spotfund’s small transaction fees (2.91 covers Spotfund’s small transaction fees (2.90.30 per donation)
Order's will ship within 90 days of starting this pre-order goal, if we don't reach our goal, I’ll just keep blending at kitchen‑table scale direct to donors. But if we do hit it… I’ll be able to sell through Indiana’s Homestead Vendor law (HB 1424) and finally share these remedies with others like you, using subscriptions or one-time purchases.
