About Us
plants. health. regeneration.
The farm
Stone & Petal Farm sits in Cornish, New Hampshire, in the hills that once held the Cornish Colony, the circle of artists, sculptors, and writers who gathered around the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens from the 1880s onward, drawn by the Connecticut River valley and the long view to Mount Ascutney. Maxfield Parrish painted his luminous skies a few miles from this ground.
The farm is named for the two hands that work it. Stephen, a stonemason, sets the walls and the paths. Blair grows the flowers and the herbs. Stone and petal, the lasting and the seasonal, the structure and the bloom.
Family story has it that Parrish regularly came to the farm to buy his eggs from Stephen's grandparents, who farmed this same land of Cornish. This is simply a place where people have made beautiful, useful things from the land for a very long time, and we are only the latest to try.
Nearly everything plantLust makes begins here: seed, soil, harvest, and the slow work of turning a season into something you can keep.
Blair Butterfield is an herbalist and an artist who uses both practices as a modality of healing and regenerating land and people. She holds a BFA from Central Saint Martins, London, and an Interdisciplinary Master's degree focusing on Regenerative Culture throughout the Americas. She founded plantLust Botanicals, a company focusing on restorative farming practices and collaborating with agricultural projects that uplift people and restore landscapes. She has been an advocate and resource for ethical and regenerative supply chains and building autonomous food systems since 2009.
From an early age, she has been engaged with plant medicine and non-conventional farming traditions, empowering the divine feminine and cultivating intuition that the patriarchy and industrialism have traditionally oppressed. She has spent the last five years collaborating with a Peruvian NGO that reforests land in tandem with native communities, creating portraits of ancient medicinal and spiritual plants while also supporting the production of non-timber botanical products, such as essential oils, resins, and oleo-resins. Her collection of plant portraits are featured in publications relating to the life ways of a Peruvian medicine man, in the Ecotopian Library ( A traveling exhibition), and to illustrate plant profiles for ethnographic and therapeutic descriptions of various species. She consults people looking for regenerative self-care and lifeways while making art and writing about the intersections of plants and culture.

plantLust Botanicals is on a mission to create ethical, regenerative, plant-based products that promote health and well-being while supporting the work being done to restore our planet. Our products are alchemized from pure, potent plant material that is never sprayed, never GMO, and never adulterated.
We have an opportunity to reclaim our role as stewards of the natural world while welcoming its restorative gifts in return. Healing ourselves — from trauma, from colonization, from large-scale extraction — is part of the same work as healing the land. It can feel too broad to take on alone, so we start where we can: with our own wellness, and with choices that support small, ethical, ecologically restorative commerce. That is where the larger healing begins.
