About Us

     Chris and Hannah started Hazeldore Homestead in 2018. The name is a combination of our last names Hazeltine & Madore. It is a reminder of our ancestors and honoring where we have come from.

     Our goal is to create community, share with others what we have learned, encourage the use of healing plants through handcrafted medicinal products and tend to the land to help restore the Earth.

    Our homestead is a backyard plot in Bel Air, Maryland. We began with 2 raised beds which quickly turned into converting our entire lawn to a growing space! Hannah is a massage therapist and has been studying herbalism since 2018. She has used this knowledge to create a CSA of herbal products using the plants we grow. Chris works on a nearby farm and in addition to assisting with growing is the engineer, carpenter and innovator of the homestead.
