Dr. Jennifer Berry
Chief Event Coordinator/Co-Founder/Co-owner
I grew up right outside of Little Rock, Arkansas on a farm where I developed a love and passion for animals and the outdoors. Pursuing this love, I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Zoology and a Masters in Teaching and subsequent PhD from Capella University in Education.
My love for science continues through the making of soap, caring for our urban farm, and tending our small flock of chickens.

Dr. (by marriage) Trevor Silva
CEO/Co-Founder/Co-owner
My life has taken me on many journeys. From touring the world as a professional drummer to working with my varying non-profits, I’ve always enjoyed new challenges and discovering new adventures. I have to be honest, owning a soap company with my wife was never on the cluckin’ radar, but here we are and I wouldn't rather be anywhere else! I love that we have built a company that is diverse, family oriented (human, feathered, and furry), and that has a passion for philanthropy, our community, and for environmentally friendly practices.
If you are reading this, I want you to know that you are loved, accepted, and part of the Cluck Hut family from now on! Cluck Yeah!

I have always been all about helping people out. Growing up, I was always pitching in, whether it was making care packages or joining groups focused on conservation and community service.

Josiah Johnson
Production Management/Co-owner
If you recognize our Operations Manager Josiah, it’s probably from his 20 years bartending, managing and owning some of the coolest restaurants in East Nashville. During the Covid shutdown he saw the opportunity to escape the hours and the grind of the restaurant business, and sold his business, opting to be more present for what he values most , his daughters. Josiah has a big, engaging personality, is quick-witted and loves dad jokes. He shares our core values about people before profit, sustainability, and being a strong ally.
These days you can find him in the coop, perfecting his soap-making skills, or out in the wild at markets , rocking the dad-bod and white tennis shoes, loving his life, joking around and talking to folks about the best clucking soaps, bath and body care products.

Mara 'Marinara' Hines Yandow
Brand Ambassador
The thing you need to know about Mara is that she’s handcrafted, mostly out of aloe, essential oils, and cocoa butter. In high school this posed problems. The diving team thought she smelled delightful, but she filled the pool with bubbles and they politely asked her to leave. She joined a punk band, but she couldn’t hold on to the drumsticks for a whole song. Ask her about her field trip to the box factory some time. Adulthood has been challenging too. Her slick moves on the dance floor can sometimes leave fellow revelers with sprained ankles. And there are some people that aren’t nuts about lavender. But if there is one thing she’s learned over the years, it is that everyone can appreciate a well-made, beautifully scented, cleverly wrapped smile.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ELEPHA... Err THE CHICKEN IN THE ROOM.
Why the chicken theme? Fair question. Right before the pandemic, we got chickens. Then a chemist and an idiot got stuck at home—the chemist perfected soap formulas, while the idiot floated in an above-ground pool, overindulging in boxed wine, and making terrible chicken puns. Add a sprinkle of low-key depression, and a choice had to be made: keep poorly medicating or do something to change the world. So, chickens became the theme, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with the soap—except for gems like our “Cock Line” and “X-Fowliant.” Hope that clears things up. 😉
MORE ABOUT US ...
Here, soap isn’t just a necessity—it’s a statement, a purpose, and a way of life. We’re not your average soap company. We’re a mission-driven movement redefining how business is done, one bar at a time.
It all began in the heart of the 2020 pandemic, when the world seemed to be unraveling at the seams. We saw division, pain, and chaos all around us. It felt impossible to sit on the sidelines while the bullies of the world tried to take center stage. Instead of watching from the wings, we decided to take action—to be the change we desperately wanted to see.
The chickens.... We are constantly asked why the chicken reference, and it's a fair question. We had just acquired chickens pre-pandemic. Now a chemist and an idiot are stuck at home. The chemist starts working on creating the perfect soap formula, and the idiot started drinking all the white wine possible out of the box in the above ground pool while making bad chicken puns. Add in a healthy helping of low-key depression, there was a choice to be made. Continue to just medicate or do something about it. So chickens were just what was around us at the time and honestly have nothing to do with the soap other than things like our "Cock Line" or our "XFowliant." Hopefully that clears that up. ;)
Yes, Dr. Jennifer crafted an extraordinary soap formula: eco-friendly, perfectly pH-balanced, and free from all the nasties. But what truly drives us runs far deeper. Soap is simply our vehicle—a tangible, everyday way to share love, acceptance, and a vision for a better future.
At My Cluck Hut, people come before profit, diversity is our greatest strength, and sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a promise. We’re not here to swim with the current of endless consumption. We’re here to stand against it, proving that you can run a business that cares for the planet and its people without compromising on quality or heart.
We know we’re not alone in this. There are countless like-minded eco-warriors out there—people who love the feeling of squeaky-clean skin, crave a fresh scent, and want to make choices that matter. Choosing eco-friendly options can sometimes feel like a whisper in the void. But together? Our collective whispers become a roar, an unstoppable wave of change that reshapes the tide.
That’s why we’re honored to have you as part of our growing family. By choosing My Cluck Hut, you’re not just buying soap; you’re joining a revolution. You’re stepping into a movement that’s rewriting the rules, creating a brighter future, and cleaning up the world in every sense of the word.
