Why use bar soap?

Because sometimes simple is better.

A good bar of soap is straightforward, long-lasting, and made with ingredients you can recognize. Our goat milk soap is handcrafted in small batches with real goat milk from our own dairy goats.

There’s no plastic bottle to throw away, no complicated routine, and no need for a long list of ingredients to get a good, creamy wash.

Just a hardworking little bar of soap, made the old-fashioned way — by hand, on our farm, with a lot of care.

Why lard instead of tallow?

Our soap is lard-based by choice — and for us, lard was the natural choice.

We’ve raised hogs here on the farm for years, including raising them on milk, along with a simple farm diet. Using the lard from the animals we raise has always made sense to us. It’s part of our whole approach to farming: use what you raise, waste as little as possible, and make good use of the resources from the farm.

Lard and tallow are both traditional animal fats used in soapmaking, and they perform very similarly when properly formulated. Neither one is a “miracle” ingredient. They simply make an excellent foundation for a hard, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather.

We’ve been making our lard-based soap for years — long before tallow became the latest skincare trend. We’ve developed and refined our recipe around lard, goat milk, coconut oil, and olive oil, and we know and trust the soap it produces.

**We’re not opposed to tallow. It just isn't our story. Lard is. No trends. **

How long does your soap last?

Our goat milk soap is slow-cured for a minimum of 4 weeks, and often up to 8 weeks before it leaves the farm. We let the soap tell us when it’s ready. Humidity and weather can affect how quickly the bars finish curing, so we look at the hardness, moisture, and overall feel of each batch before packaging.

A well-cured bar is harder, longer-lasting, and gives you that rich, creamy lather our soap is known for.

How long a bar lasts once you start using it depends on how often it’s used and how it’s stored. Keeping it on a draining soap dish and allowing it to dry between uses will help your bar last much longer.

Which soap is best for baby, face, or body?

This is one we get asked a lot — and the answer is probably simpler than you think.

Our goat milk soaps are all made from the same basic soap recipe and are formulated to be skin-safe. The differences between the bars are primarily the fragrance, natural additives, color, or texture.

So there really isn't a special “baby soap” or “face soap” hiding in the collection.

For babies, young children, or especially sensitive skin, we recommend Nature’s Beauty Bar, our unscented bar with no added color or fragrance. For your face, you can use any of our bars, but many people prefer the simpler, unscented option.

The best bar is ultimately the one your skin likes and you enjoy using. We make a variety of bars because everyone has a favorite — not because one is automatically better for your skin than another.

Why goat milk?

Goat milk has been treasured in bath and beauty products for generations — and for good reason. It gives soap a rich, creamy lather and a wonderfully luxurious feel.

Our goat milk comes from our own Nubian dairy goats, right here on the farm. We milk once a day and use that fresh milk in our soap.

We don't make wild promises about what goat milk will do for your skin. We simply know what it does for our soap — and we love the beautiful, creamy bars it helps us create.

A little bit of old-fashioned luxury, made right here on the farm.

How should I care for my bar of soap?

The biggest thing is simple: let it dry between uses.

Our handmade soap is meant to be enjoyed, not sit in a puddle of water. Keep your bar on a draining soap dish or rack where water can run off and air can circulate.

The better your bar can dry between uses, the longer it will last.

A little care goes a long way — and you'll get many more good, creamy washes from your bar.
