  • Mother’s Day Giveaway!

    Mother’s day is this Sunday and in honor of this very important holiday we are doing a Mother’s Day “Spa Package” giveaway! Moms are some of the hardest working people in the world and we want to give one lucky momma out there a way to pamper herself.

    This is a rare treat for those of you who are not able to come out and see us in person at the farmers markets or craft shows, because our bath teas and scrubs are not currently available on our website!

    Bath Teas

    Bath Tea from The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    Bath teas are a wonderful way to pamper yourself without making a mess of your bath. Each tea bag is stuffed with lovely things like flower petals, oatmeal, epsom salt, and essential oils. Place the bag under the running water of your bath and enjoy the wonderful benefits of these ingredients. If you are looking for a treat cut the bag open and pour the contents directly in the water and enjoy a bath surrounded with flowers and more.

  • Introducing – Tea Tree

    It’s the first of the month which means it’s time to introduce a new soap scent! This month’s goat milk soap is one that we have gotten a ton of requests for – Tea Tree!

    Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    Tea tree is a popular essential oil that is widely used for it’s many amazing properties. It is antiseptic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal.  It has also been said to cure acne and even out complexions. So this would make a great soap for someone who is trying to treat skin blemishes. Tea tree can also be used to relieve itchy skin and poison ivy.

  • What’s up Wednesday – 4/30

    We have a BIG weekend ahead of us! If you follow our blog you know that the My Manakin Farmers Market opens this weekend. We are so excited to be a part of this market and look forward to starting the routine of having 2 markets a week! On top of that we have 3… Yes THREE… products debuting this week. Tomorrow our May soap will debut and on Saturday we will be debuting our scrubs and bath teas to our market customers! The scrubs and bath teas will then be available on the website next weekend. There is so much to look forward to!

    The rain from the last few days has turned the farm into a giant pond. I am going to have to swim to the barn for farm chores tonight. While I normally don’t mind the rain I’m looking forward to a dry weekend.

    Finally, this up coming Monday starts the fencing extravaganza! Kevin is taking the week off of work so we can fence off the buck pasture as well as a new pasture for the girls. I know the girls are going to be so excited to get ahold off all those brambles that will be in the new pasture.

  • My Manakin Market

    This Saturday will be our first day at the My Manakin Market and we will have our new Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap with us.

  • What’s up Wednesday – 4/9

    I’m sorry that I have been so bad with the farm updates lately. Things have been a little crazy around here. I am done edited in the pictures from Hillary’s labor, now comes the issue of finding time to write the blog post… But I promise it will be soon. The babies are doing wonderfully. They are about twice the size they were at birth. They are so much fun and the kids absolutely love spending time with them in the kid pasture. They all have such wonderful personalities and are going to make great additions to our herd.

    We are so behind in our gardening this year. Anything that needed to be started inside has been done, but anything that could have been planted outside already (peas, green onions, and such) have been put off. None of our new beds have even been filled with dirt yet… schedules and weather has delayed the delivery, but it is set to come tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the yard will be dry enough for them to drive across it!

    The baby chicks are getting so big. One of the ones that we thought was a buff orpington, because it was identical to the other buff orpingtons the day they were delivered, turned out to be one of the easter eggers, and one of the ones that we thought was an easter egger we think might in fact be one of the marans. It does look like we may have gotten multiple maran roosters, but only time will tell on that one. It won’t be long and we will be moving the older chickens into the pasture so they can free range and the new chicks into the old coop. I can’t wait to see how the maran eggs turn out!

    Just when you think we have enough going on…. We have some exciting news! We will soon be adding salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, and bath teas to our line!! We are currently in the research and development phase, but I expect to debut them in the next month, just as soon as our testers give our recipes a thumbs up. So keep an eye out for those!

    The Wednesday market in Goochland Courthouse moved outside last week. It was so nice to be out in the sun and the children liked having the space to run, and playground to play on. We will be outside from now on so come and visit. We have some really great vendors! Today there should be a few veggies, eggs, sausage, brunswick stew, bread, goat cheese, mustard… and of course our soaps!

  • Spring Goat Milk Soap Giveaway

    Spring is finally here!! This winter was rough and it felt like it went on forever. I don’t think there has ever been a year where I was more excited for this season change, and to celebrate we have decided to do a giveaway with the newest addition to our goat milk so line – our Spring soap!

    Our Spring soap is the first soap in our “season” series. Each season this year we will debut a new soap to represent that season. It will only be available during that season, so if you are a fan you will need to stock up or wait for it to come around again next year.

    Our Spring soap is scented with the essential oil of calendula, also know as Pot Marigold. It has a deep floral scent and because of the essential oil is naturally yellow. It is topped with the wispy yellow petals of the calendula flower. This beautiful bar just screams SPRING!

  • What’s up Wednesday – 3/19

    The post is coming a little late today. We had a crazy day to top off a very eventful week. Tina kidded early this morning. One kid was born before we got outside to her at 5am and the other came shortly after. The second kid came out in a bad position, making it a very complicated birth. I am extremely grateful that we got to her in time for that one. I will write a separate post where I go into more detail about her labor later. Tina was the last goat to kid. Hillary kidded Sunday, so all of our 2014 kids are here!

    While you wait for the post about Hillary and Tina’s kidding I thought I would go ahead and share a little sneak peek picture of all of the cuteness to come… This is Chelsea
