  • West End Farmers Market

    There are going to be some changes to our market schedule this year. One of the most significant changes is that we will not be at the West End Farmers Market full time anymore. We have been working on broadening our reach, so Kevin is now working at the Charlottesville City Market. Our customers at the West End Market have been loyal to us for years and we didn’t want to completely abandon them so we have found Tara! She will be handling the market for us this year.

    Tara will have a booth at the market for us part time this summer. You guys are going to love her! This is her neighborhood so you might even know her already. Stop by on opening day and say hi!

    • May 5th
    • May 19th
    • June 2nd

  • Arts in the Park and Lotion Release!

    We have another incredible weekend ahead of us! On Saturday you can find us at South of the James, and it’s the opening weekend for the West End Farmer’s Market. We will also be at Arts in the Park on both Saturday and Sunday! And it’s the weekend that so many of our regular customers have been waiting for… the release of our Goat Milk Lotion!!

  • Where you can find us this Winter…

    Now that most of our regular farmer’s markets are closed for the season and it’s a slow time for craft shows you might be wondering where you can pick up our goat milk soaps over the winter. While we may not be “everywhere” like we are from May through December, we are still very accessible through the Winter.

    You can still find us every Saturday at South of the James. It’s now the Winter Market and the hours have changed to 9am-12pm. There is a great group of vendors there throughout the winter, so it is well worth the trip!

    The West End Farm Markets, our other regular Saturday market through the Spring and Summer, has a pop up winter market on the second Saturday of each month. The market runs from 10am-12pm. We will be at each of the pop-up markets, provided it’s not raining. Tents are prohibited at the pop-up markets making it impossible for us to attend in inclement weather.

    Several stores throughout Virginia carry our soaps. Check out the “Where to Buy” section of our website to find all of the locations were our soap can be found!

  • What’s Up Wednesday – February 11th

    In the last week we have continued to work on our goat milk soap laundry detergent. We have worked hard perfecting the amount of essential oil for each scent. I think we finally reached an amount that we are happy with. We are hoping to be able to start offering the detergent sometime in March.

    In the past week we received our acceptance to the West End Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Mid-Week Farmers Market at Aw Shucks. Kevin will likely be the one manning the booth at both of these locations. Our spring and summer is starting to come together!

    This weekend we worked on getting the soap room together. We have been building it for almost a year at this point and haven’t had a chance with our busy schedule to put any real time into it in the last 6 months or so. The soap company has lived in several rooms in our house. A large portion of our home has been cut off to our family for far too long! This weekend we got the room painted and within the next few days the floor is going in and cabinets are going up. It won’t be long until we will be moving in and we can have our house back!

    The count down continues to the start of kidding season! Sonia now has a little over 3 weeks, Ruth has a little over 4, and Hillary has about 6 weeks. Tina is not due until June, so we are not considering her in this countdown. Hillary is already huge and is getting quite uncomfortable. I can’t wait to see how many she has!

  • West End Market

    I haven’t been keeping up with the blog in the last few weeks. It’s just been too busy! I hope to write an update soon, as we have a bunch of really great things coming up (including a giveaway of our Summer soap!). Right now I am just taking a second to let everyone know that we will be at the West End Market for the first time this week and we will be there sporadically throughout the rest of the summer. We are so glad to be added to this great market! Come out and see us Saturday!
