Meet the Maker
Marcy Lautanen-Raleigh started Backyard Patch Herbs to make herbs easy to use and easy to love. What began as a simple kitchen garden grew into a ¾-acre herb-filled haven where Marcy grows, dries, and hand-blends every product herself. She created Backyard Patch to help people cook with more flavor, sip better tea, and embrace a more natural lifestyle—without salt, preservatives, or mystery ingredients. For over 30 years, she’s been taking the guesswork out of herbs and showing that herbs aren’t just for gardeners or gourmet chefs—they’re for everyone.
