My name is Emilee Gettle, and I'm the owner of Home Folk & the Bulk Herb Store. I grew up along a dirt road in central Missouri, just a few miles from my grandparents' century farm.

Some of my fondest memories are riding along on my dad’s blue Ford tractor, hayrides, sitting in our old country church with no AC and occupying those long, hot Sunday mornings tracing my finger along the cracks in the wall while giggling to myself as a wasp threatened the pastor at the pulpit.

I’m a country girl at heart, with a love for old things and wide-open spaces. Making things brings me so much joy. I learned to sew at the feet of my Grandmother and mother from a very young age. Being creative is what has carried so many women through lean times, tough times, valley days, and mountain moments. I'm thankful that I was taught to lean into that creativity for comfort.

I'm married to Jere Gettle and we are blessed with five amazing kids. We homeschool and love to include our kids in all we do from cooking dinner for the seven of us or preparing food for thousands who come to our farm events. We want our kids to learn how to do life now, so we are blessed to work, play, and learn together everyday.

In my spare time (whatever that is?! This girl doesn't like to be bored), I enjoy spending time with my horses, writing, crafting, baking sourdough bread, and dreaming up more ways to ensure boredom isn't a word in my vocabulary.
