  • Come see us this weekend!

    We have a HUGE weekend ahead of us! Every year the first weekend in December we are extremely busy and this year is no exception. We are in a total of 4 location! We have around 1500 bars of goat milk soap going out to these 4 locations… Busy. Please come out and see us:

  • 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!

  • 2018 Farmers Market Season

    We are gearing up for a very exciting season at the farmers markets. We have made some big changes to our schedule this year! We will be at the Charlottesville City Market through the summer. We will be moving to part time at the West End Farmers market. We will no longer be at the Fairgrounds Farmers Market. The Powhatan Farmers Market is now the Westchester Farmers Market… But as always we will be at South of the James (we love our GrowRVA family). Here is our schedule for the upcoming summer:

  • Where to find us this Winter!

    It’s easy to fall into the winter blues when it seems like not a lot is happening on the weekends. You are stuck inside all week. That’s not how you want to spend your weekends too! During the rest of the year its so nice to start your weekend off with a visit to the farmers markets to stock up on all of your needs and maybe pick up a tasty breakfast, but during the winter what is there to do? Guess what… In Virginia there are still awesome farmers markets to visit. Winter markets have increased greatly over the last few years, so now you don’t have to go without! So where can you pick up our goat milk soaps, laundry detergent, and lotions this winter:

    South of the James Farmers Market – It’s undeniable… South of the James is one of the top farmers markets in Virginia and it’s year round! We feel beyond grateful to have such a wonderful place to offer our products. We are out at SOJ every single Saturday of the year, unless the governor declares a state of emergency because of hazardous weather. During the summer there are an incredible number of vendors and many of those vendors stay on all year. If you are coming during the winter you will not be disappointed. Everything you need is still there! There is always at least one or two veggie vendors, honey, dog treats, our goat milk soap products, the list goes on and on… and there are always lots of great choices for breakfast.

    Visit South of the James Farmers Market – Every Saturday during the winter – 9am-12pm – New Kent Ave & 42nd Street, Richmond, VA 23225 

    The Winter Farmers Market at IX Park – This is a brand new winter market in Charlottesville. It has a great selection and is both indoors and outdoors. You can find us at one of the outdoor spots on select Saturdays… Which is hopefully most Saturdays through March.

    Visit The Winter Farmers Market at IX Park – Saturdays during the winter – 9am-1pm – 522 2nd Street SE in Charlottesville, Virginia

    We are also in the process of applying to several craft shows that will take place this winter so please continue to check in on our Where to Buy page on our website for more up to date information.
