FIELDS OF AMBROSIA
At Fields of Ambrosia, owner/maker Deborah Jasien handcrafts all-natural bath and body products right in the store. It all began in her kitchen at Intervale Farm in 1999, as a small venture making natural soaps and lotions for family and friends, and then expanded into aromatherapy products when her sister was diagnosed with cancer. The positive effect these products had on her body and mind led Deborah to want to share this newfound knowledge with more people.
She loves the interaction with her customers, telling the back story of each therapeutic line: how and why she chose the essential oils in each blend, the benefits of the oils as well as the raw ingredients used in creating a lotion, soap, or facial cream. In addition to traditional bath and body, Fields of Ambrosia offers a line of men’s grooming and wet shave products called Renaissance Man; Kidz Stuff, a collection aimed at the younger set; and a vegan line of makeup from Color Cosmetics.
Their line of CBD topicals is especially popular. Fields of Ambrosia launched online in 2001, opened their first retail store in 2007, and continues today to offer plant-based, cleansing, nourishing and therapeutic skin, and body care products—beneficial to the body and earth friendly. Ten percent of yearly profits are donated to Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation. Find them at 2724 White Mountain Highway, North Conway Village, NH.
