Good News Ghee is a mama-founded, women-run small business rooted in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville, NC. Our story began in our founder Marion Hearth’s early days of motherhood, guided by the belief that food can be a profound source of nourishment. Ghee has long carried this tradition, and we are honored to continue it with care and intention.
We make small-batch, grass-fed ghee using traditional methods, organic and local ingredients whenever possible, and sustainable practices at every step. Each batch is crafted by hand and tended with respect for the land, the animals, and the people who help bring it to life. Our ghee begins with cultured butter from pasture-raised cows and is made with the same love we hope you feel in your home and kitchen.
Good News Ghee is, at its heart, a mother-centered brand, born from one mother’s journey and strengthened by the many hands and hearts who now tend it. We hope the joy and integrity of our team make their way into every spoonful and that our ghee offers simple, meaningful nourishment for your body, mind, and home.
Marion Hearth / Founder
Marion Hearth birthed Good News Ghee Ghee in 2015 after asking herself the question, “What am I already doing/creating that I can make more of to share more gifts with my community?”. Ghee was the obvious answer. Marion had been making ghee each moon cycle since the birth of her first baby just two years earlier and ghee was the one staple in her kitchen that she didn’t let run dry. Marion began slowly - selling at farmer’s markets with a baby wrapped on her and a toddler running around - not imagining that Good News Ghee would outgrow her in the ways it has. Marion is passionate about food as medicine, earth stewardship, resilient & sovereign living, natural motherhood, the arts, and deeply knowing God. Devoted to sharing this medicine and holding a vision of supporting a beautiful and simple way of life, Marion hopes that this medicine nourishes everyone it touches.

True Senghas
OFFICE
True is in the office answering emails and doing backstage operations. True discovered Good News Ghee at a farmer’s market in 2015, and was ecstatic to find a locally sourced, high quality cooking oil option. Upon learning it was a women owned and run business, and that employees were encouraged to take time off on the first days of their monthly cycle, she thought to herself, “this would be a wonderful company to work for…”
Six years later she was living off grid, enjoying a simple, remote life. Feeling a desire to reconnect to community, she decided to look for a part time gig. The stars aligned and she began selling Good News Ghee at the market every Saturday, and transitioned into the office later that year. As an aspiring mother and lover of holistic health, she feels so nourished in this role. Providing the service of getting the ghee to the people feeds her soul.
True’s passions are multifaceted; in addition to high energy food, wellbeing, and nature-connected living, she also loves dance, poetry, myth, crafting, cultural immersion, and ceremony.
