  • Soap Making in Photos

    We wanted to give customers a little sneak peek into our soap making process though photos. I hope you enjoy.

    Making Soap with The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    First we measure out all of the solid oils. These oils need to be melted, so they are added to a container that is wrapped in a warming device. The warmer melts the solid oils over several hours. We normally measure out the solid oils the night before and turn on the warmers at 5am when we are beginning farm chores, that way the oils are melted when we come out to make soap after farm chores are done and we have eaten breakfast. Once the oils are melted we move them into the large stock pot that the soap is made in. We run the oils through a filter to catch anything that might fall into the soap.

    Filtering oils for soap making

    We freeze our milk in a solid block. It takes less time to set up and takes up less space in the freezer. Once frozen we use an icepick to break up the milk into smaller chunks that are easier to measure and to mix the lye into. We return the measured milk to the freezer until we are ready for it later in the process.

    Next, the oils in liquid form are measured out:

    They too are run through the filter as they are added to the other melted oils:

    Once all the oils are measured and added to the stock pot we start preparing the milk/lye mixture. Because the milk is frozen when the lye is added the temperature never rises above 76-80 degrees and the milk maintains it’s light color. If lye is added to room temperature milk the milk will turn brown and potentially take on a burnt scent. When the milk and lye are well mixed they are added to the oil. It too is run through the filter (a larger one) but this time it is to break up and catch any fat clumps that may have formed.

    Adding Milk to Goat Milk Soap

    We push the remaining milk through the strainer to break up the fat clumps.

    We then mix everything together with an industrial sized stick blender.

    Once the oils reach the light trace stage the essential oils are added

    The mixture is then poured into the molds.

    We then scrap off the excess on top of the molds to fill the remaining molds and to smooth the top of the soap.

    This particular batch is the topped version of our Lavender Goat Milk Soap. We add the lavender buds last.

    Finally, the soap sits for at least 24 hours while it firms up. It is cut and placed on the curing racks, where it will stay for 4-6 weeks while it cures.

  • Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap Highlight

    Tea tree is such a wonderful essential oil and we use it liberally in our Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap

    I always say tea tree is a love it or hate it scent. There isn’t a lot of people who fall in the middle.

  • Priced for Everyday Use

    Our biggest goal when starting our soap company almost 5 years ago was to offer the highest quality soap possible while remaining affordably priced. We wanted our soaps to be considered everyday-use bars and not a splurge.

    Everyday Use Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap Company in Virginia

    There are all kinds of soap customers can choose from… Beautiful soaps that look amazing displayed next to your sink. Soaps that are big splurges you purchase when you really need a treat. Soaps that are works of art that make great gifts. While I hope our soaps fit into those categories listed above to some degree our hope was to be the soap you grab for everyday in the shower. Your “go to” soap for the kitchen or bathroom sink. The soap you use all the time. In order to become this soap for our customers we needed to be priced for everyday use.

    We have maintained our prices all these years. They remained the same even after we switched to organic oils from sustainable sources a few years back. We just made adjustments to our own habits (like buying the oils in very large qualities to lower our costs) so the costs associated with those upgrades were not passed on to our customers. We have done whatever we can to keep our prices steady and we will continue to do what we can to maintain prices for our customers! We hope you choose us as your “go to” soap!

  • Soap Highlight – Virginia Cedar Goat Milk Soap

    Our Virginia Cedar Goat Milk Soap features the fresh woody scent of Virginia Cedar essential oil.

    Our Virginia Cedar Goat Milk Soap is the same recipe as our Castile soap, so it’s has the same wonderful lotion like lather. We have always suggested using our Castile soap as a shave bar, because the lather gives you an outstanding shave surface. With that in mind we designed our Virginia Cedar to be a shave bar for men. This is obviously not the only use for this soap but it is certainly what we had in mind while making it.

  • Soap Highlight – Irish Goodbye Stout Goat Milk Soap

    We love when we have the opportunity to pair up with other local businesses. It’s fun to created unique products that represents the place you love! Our Irish Goodbye Stout Goat Milk Soap comes from one of these partnerships.

    Virginia has really become a beer hub over the last decade. Virginians love their beer, so having a beer soap in our line just seemed fitting. We paired up with Final Gravity Brewery in Lakeside, VA and used their malted barley from Woods Mill Malt House in Nelson County, VA. We developed this wonderful, rich colored soap, that features a warm oat-like aroma. It’s the perfect soap for all the beer lovers out there!
