Is there anyone close to me that would trade fresh produce for my soaps or eggs? I would love to have tomatoes or green beans or almost anything.

It all started with a friend who had goats and made goat's milk soap and another friend who wanted to give me a Nubian buck.
I have super sensitive skin, always have. This led to many different products being tried to help with dry skin. My friend who makes soap told me about how good it is for your skin. And she was right! I no longer have dry skin since using goat's milk soap. I decided I could probably make soap. My mom made soap when I was a kid using lard from our pigs. Now all I had to do was convince my husband we needed goats! Here is where the other friend came in. She wanted to give me a buck and Greg wasn't going to tell her no. So we got him (Daniel) and started gathering goats. I am not sure how many goats have come through this place (I am sure Greg could tell you). Rose was one of the first we picked up. I have had as many as 20 or 30 something at times when I had babies and am down to just 14 right now. It seems such a small amount right now but we have added so many other animals. We now have sheep, a couple jersey cows, beef cows, rabbits, guineas and chickens (so many chickens!).
I enjoy making soap and teaching others to make soap. I always have soap available and I am always available to talk about goats. We have learned so much over the last 6 years. I am also thinking about teaching classes on soap making in the future. I post all this to say, find something you love and do that! I enjoy my homesteading/farm life so much more than I could imagine. And if you ever have questions or want to purchase soaps, jams, jellies or eggs (again so many chickens!) message me! I would love to chat!

These are Rose's girls, Pocahontas and Moana. They are her replacements. Aren't they adorable!🥰

This is Rose. Rose is an almost 8 year old Nubian. I have had her for 6 years now and have milked her for 5. We (Rose and I) have come a long way together. When we first got her she wasn't friendly. It was quite a challenge to pet her or trim hooves let alone milk her. Now she thinks I am one of her kids and I can almost milk her without her being confined. She is going to be retiring this year. She has given me so many beautiful babies (2 boys and 10 girls) through the years, mostly twins with a couple singles. I am keeping her twins from this year. All the soap I have made has come from this girls milk. She has also fed us and many other bottle baby goats and a few other animals (puppies, a llama, a foal, and currently a ram lamb) as well. I have some of her milk frozen so my soap will continue to be made from her milk until her daughters are old enough to breed and milk.
