Recently two new stores started carrying our goat milk soaps! It is always so exciting to add new stores to our list and give our customers more opportunities to purchase our soaps:
The Spotted Pocket is a new online store that sells all natural baby items like cloth diapers, baby carriers, and more. They also offer all natural products for moms! That’s where our goat milk soap comes in! The Spotted Pocket now carries a large variety of our soap.
Aw Shucks Store is a country store in Glen Allen, Virginia. This is is not your average, everyday convenience store! They have an amazing selection of local products and we are so happy to announce that our goat milk soaps are now among those local products.
People are often shocked to see that we give away FREE samples at our farmer’s market and craft show tables. They are little samples, good for a few hand washings, but are enough to give you an idea of the quality of our soap. We do this for one very important reason… Because we believe that once you use our soap that you will be in love! We have a very high percentage of people returning to purchase soaps after trying one of our samples. So for us the samples are a great way to build our customer base!
If you are interested in trying our soaps stop by one of our booths and pick up a sample… We are confident that you will love it! Check out the “Where to Buy” page on our website to see where we will be next!
We absolutely love hearing from customers! Over the weekend we received a message from Sandy about her experience with our Canine Shampoo Goat Milk Soap:
“We purchased a bar of your Canine Shampoo when we attended the Harvest festival at Monticello for our Jack Russell/Beagle rescue dog. Barkley had his first bath with it today. All I can say is WOW!
He smells great and his coat is so soft. He appears to be shedding less and is not scratching his coat. His white coat is so bright.He loved being rubbed down with bar and we loved how easily it rinsed off.
Thanks again for recommending it. It is definitely Barkley approved.”
If you are interested in trying our Canine Shampoo you can find it here.
We are so excited to announce that The Freckled Farm Soap Company’s goat milk soap can now be found at the Wholefoods Market in Short Pump, VA. We are thrilled to continue to add to the list of stores that carry our line!
What to do with that last little bit of soap? You know, that thin little sliver that is left after you have been using the bar for a while. It begins to have a softer constancy and you use it up quicker. So how can you prolong the life of this little piece of soap?
There is an easy solution to this… Add it to the next bar of soap. It’s as simple as that! It keeps that sliver from washing away quickly, so you get more bang for your buck! There are a few ways of doing this…
1. Get both bars of soap wet. Press them together. Make sure that you rub and press the edges of soap sliver against the new bar of soap so the whole sliver is firmly against the new bar and it makes a seal. Allow the soap to dry entirely before you use it again. The soap will have melded into one new bar. If you use it again before it has had a chance to dry completely the bars may come apart again. This is how I do it and it works quite well!
2. A friend of mine, who works with clay, suggests combining the two bars like you would combine two clay pieces: With a knife score one the side of each bar. Wet both bars, then press the scored sides together. She swears that it holds the bars tightly together quicker and that you don’t have to allow it to dry for the bars to successfully stick. This friend of mine also likes to combine the Deep Sea and Tea Tree bars to make what she calls “The perfect bar of soap.”
3. Finally I have had customers tell me that they collect all of their slivers and once they have a good collection (I can imagine this would take a while considering the longevity of our soap) they get all the slivers wet, then press them all together to make this organic shaped soap hunk. Like with the first method allow the “hunk” to dry completely so that it will hold together tightly for future uses.
I hope you found this helpful to make your soap last longer!
