The Still Room at Mabellae Farm
The Still Room prepares a range of science-backed, natural actives, made with traditional herbs and botanicals for your health.
We have created a range of clean balms, herbal tisanes and teas, natural perfumes, and edible salts, and there is more to come.
Through my love of cooking and after studying herbalism, I began to understand that to grow the most nutrient-dense produce, be it food for my family or herbs and flowers for my products, using regenerative farming methods was the only way forward.
We grow and then dry our herbs and botanicals right here on the farm. I then prepare our products in our purpose-built Wellness Kitchen/Laboratory.
My deep interest in soil health, growing regeneratively and creating herbal remedies have combined right here on Mabellae Farm.
We grow our herbs and botanicals, using regenerative and biodynamic principles to ensure our products are the healthiest for you and your family.
Everything is grown in our hilltop orchard and kitchen garden. To meet demand, we also source produce from local, like-minded growers.
The Still Room was founded by Emma Jane, a regenerative farmer, cook, herbalist and educator.

What exactly is a Still Room?
The Still Room is a distillery room found in most large houses throughout Europe dating back to at least 1710. The Still Room was a working room: part science lab, part infirmary and part kitchen.
Originally the use of The Still Room was for preparing herbs and flowers from the kitchen garden and surrounding countryside. Here they were preserved for creating medicines and home cleaning products and processed into, what today, we call essential oils. They were then infused, distilled or brewed as required to make cosmetics, ointments, soaps, furniture polish and other household products.
The Importance of Soil Health.
Research has shown that regeneratively managed crops and animals contain more of the important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than conventionally managed crops. Find out more about Regenerative gardening and farming here.
