Here is a picture of my newest creations...shampoo bars in wonderful autumn and holiday fragrances: gingerbread cookie, honey apple, and holiday brew. These nourishing bars are suitable for use as both a shampoo and soap, and are perfect for your winter skin moisturizing needs. They contain jojoba and other soothing oils. You can purchase them on our family farm website. They would make wonderful holiday gifts!

Last month I made three batches of soap as shown here. The green swirled one is a very beautiful green tea fragrance, one on the right a peach and tangerine fragrance, and the one on the top left is cran-raspberry. I made these with our own goat's milk and olive oil, coconut oil, lard, palm kernel oil, and shea butter. They will soon be available for sale-as always, you can go to our family website and order some!

Here is a sampling of my first batches of goat's milk soap. As you can see each one is different. I enjoyed learning how to make soap and have found it to be quite simple. The types pictured here are named clockwise from the top: honey, milk and oatmeal; spearmint shampoo bar (with exotic moisturizing oils); another honey, milk, and oatmeal; sleepy hollow bar (brew of ginger, clove, molases, and cinnamon with citrus topnotes); vanilla sandalwood bar, also with exotic moisturizers and butters; and a classic goat milk soap bar in the center. The main ingredients include olive and coconut oils and goat's milk from our own dairy goats; other items used included palm, sunflower, sweet almond, castor, and jojoba oils, shea butter, honey, oatmeal, and essential and fragrance oils.
