  • The Big Announcement

    Most of our friends and family have known this was coming for a while, years actually, and we have discussed it with many customers, especially over the last few months, so for some of you this may not be a surprise, but now that everything has been made official we can announce it to everyone…

    In about a month, on January 6th, Kevin will be leaving his job outside of the home to put a full time effort into our two small businesses with me. That means starting in 2015 The Freckled Farm Soap Company and Neilson-Hall Photography, will be our only sources of income. This is an enormous, and scary step for us, but we have spent years preparing for it, and both businesses have grown so much in the last year that they require full time attention from both of us. This has been the plan for a long time and we have actually reached our goal years ahead of schedule! In 2015 you can expect to find us in a lot more stores, and to see us at a lot more farmer’s markets and craft shows!

    So, as we take this new step in our lives and businesses we thank your continued support.

  • Introducing Rosemary Mint

    Our November soap is coming a few days late this month. We are in the thick of the busy season with both of our businesses (the photography business and of course the soap business)… our “to do” lists are a mile long. I finally had a chance to photograph this month’s debut, so here we are…. I’m am excited to introduce the newest soap to our line…. Rosemary Mint

    Rosemary Mint Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap CompanyThis soap has a more subtle mint scent than our wildly popular Peppermint Eucalyptus, paired with the earthly scent of rosemary. The rosemary and peppermint are perfectly balanced giving a nice robust fragrance.

    Check our website to get yourself a bar of this awesome bar of soap!

  • Fall Soap Giveaway

    Today is the first day of Fall… The best season of them all, and it just so happens that this is our best seasonal soap so far! This amazing soap is scented with Orange and Clove!

    Fall Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    We had decided back at the beginning of the year that our Fall soap was going to be Orange Clove. To me that is the perfect scent to represent Fall. Back a few months ago we ordered all the supplies we needed to make this new scent so we could start our tests. The day the essential oils came in the mail I unpacked the boxes, put the tanks on the counter, and left the house for a few hours. When I came home I walked in the door and was hit in the face by the smell of clove… Now we knew clove was a strong smell, we were prepared for that, but this was incredible. The tank was unopened and sealed! We spent some time trying to figure out the perfect combination. A combination where the clove did not completely overwhelm the orange… and let me tell you folks, we found it! It’s the perfect combination! It’s truly a wonderful scent and I can’t wait for all of you to try it… it’s a shame it will only be around for a few months.

  • Introducing Deep Sea Goat Milk Soap!

    Are you a fan of our Deep Sea Salt Scrub? Well, then you will love our new Deep Sea Goat Milk Soap! We have decided to make a soap to match each of our scrubs, so over the next few months, with the exception of the seasonal soaps, our new soaps will be a scent that you may already be familiar with. We are starting with the Deep Sea since it is personally my favorite scrub!

    Deep Sea Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap CompanyThis is an amazing smelling soap that is packed with added benefits! The ingredients of this soap are vastly different than any of our other soaps.

    Kelp Powder: Is loaded with Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids and is most often used in skin care products as an anti-aging agent.

    Spirulina: An oceanic algue, spirulina has been said to ward off free-radicals, eliminate toxins from skin, and speed up cell turnover allowing for faster healing. It has also been known to help with preventing acne.

    Orange Peel Powder: Has been said to eliminate acne, black heads, and dark spots from skin.

    Rosemary: Has long been known as an anti-inflammatory

    Eucalyptus: Is said to be a healer, while eliminating muscle pain and relieving sinus congestion.

    Juniper Berry: Has anti-microbal properties and contains powerful antioxidants.

    Beyond having an wonderful smell this soap has amazing benefits that will leave you feeling refreshed… and it’s now available on our website!
