I've always loved tinkering with concoctions, my mother made natural soap
when I was a child and I was fascinated with the process. As an adult I turned
to soap making as an extension of my herb growing and gardening hobbies.
The soap making has grown and grown. Goats milk was added and I love the
added creamy lather from the milk proteins. The goat's milk soaps are
produced here on our small farm in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. I
love using natural ingredients in the soaps like clays, herbs and botanicals,
essential oils and honey.
The end result of the soap is half the story. I try to use a biodynamic model
and treat the farm as a whole unit. As such the goats are a bigger picture
than only the milk. The goats also produce fertiliser for herb and vegetable
crops. Balance is something that governs the growth of our company. The
output of the goats must match the capability of the land to reabsorb the
compost produced. We do not dry lot the animals and instead use the
compost to increase the garden and herb areas. The garden areas can not
expand to a point of needing outside fertilizers...we do not use chemical
fertilizers or pesticides. Balance must be maintained. I feel it is my job to not
only make absolutely lovely natural soaps but protect and improve my
environment while doing so. This year bees will be added to help with crop
fertility and we will then use our own honey and beeswax in the soaps.
I am often asked if we drink the goat's milk. Yes. I also make lovely cheese
during the summer when we have a glut of fresh milk available. These
products are only for our family though. Sorry : )

Natural Goat's Milk Soaps are only part of the story....
