This will be our first week at the South of the James Farmers Market! Come out and see us!
Saturday December 13th – South of the James Farmer’s Market – 9am – 12pm – Forest Hill Park – New Kent Ave & 42nd Street, Richmond VA
Sunday December 14th – Carytown Artisan Market – 10am – 5pm – 3201 West Cary Street, Richmond VA
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.

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
This 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!
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!
This 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!
It’s the first of the month! Which means we are debuting a new soap…. We are thrilled to introduce our new Canine Shampoo!
A great deal of thought and research went into our canine shampoo and we believe that we have come up with something very special. The star ingredients of this soap are tea tree, lavender, rosemary, and ground oatmeal. The tea tree is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and is also said to relieve pain and itching. Lavender has always been known as a healer, and can calm a hyper, anxious dog. Like tea tree, lavender is also anti-itch. The rosemary has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea tree, lavender and rosemary are all said to prevent and treat fleas and finally the oatmeal calms and soothes your dog’s skin. So many benefits jammed into one bar of soap!
This soap has a soft, warm, earthy scent… and guess what?! It’s not just for dogs, you can use it too!
Our Canine Shampoo can now be purchased through our website!
We are so excited to announce that our goat milk soaps are now available at Union Market in Richmond, VA! This such a cute little market and the food in their eatery sounds absolutely amazing. Go check them out and pick up some of our soap!

Why haven’t we announced this yet? Maybe because the last two weeks have been crazy… to say the least. We have had the great pleasure of being highlighted in the July/August issue of R.Home magazine (a division of Richmond Magazine) under the “Stuff We Like” section. This is an extreme honor and we are so grateful! Thank you R.Home!!
