  • The Giving Heart Fundraiser!

    The Giving Heart is a Central Virginia charity that provides food, fellowship, and essential items to those in need. Every year they throw a large thanksgiving dinner serving around 3,000 guests. These guests include the homeless, elderly individuals, working class families, local military servicemen and those who otherwise would be alone during the Holiday. It is an important event that many depend on. This year will be the 10th anniversary of The Giving Heart’s Community Thanksgiving Feast! In honor of this big anniversary and in order to help fund this event The Freckled Farm Soap Company is running a week long fundraiser! Starting tomorrow September 28th and running until October 4th we will donate 10% of each order placed on the website using the promo code: thegivingheart.

    This promo code can be used with other codes, like 4for20. And as always, orders of $50 or more receive free shipping!

  • 2016 Kid Reservations

    It’s that time of year again! Breeding season will be starting very soon. Now is the time to make a reservation for a 2016 kid. We work on a first come first served bases. If you have a specific breeding you are interested in please indicate that when you make your reservation. You are welcome to come and visit the goats if you like.

    Because we have no way of knowing how many goats we will get and what genders they will be we take a limited number of reservations and under estimate what we think we will get based on past experience. This year we will take reservations for 6 does. There may be kids still available in the Spring once all reservations are filled. If you are interested in a kid and all reservations are filled you will be added to a wait list.

    All of our does this year will be bred to our herd sire Warner. We will have a mixture of Pure Bred Nubians and American Nubians. Pictures of all of your does can be found on the “Our Animals” section of the blog. For more information about purchasing a goat from us visit this blog post.
