Class: Milk a Goat and Make great Soap!

This is an introductory class for anyone who has ever been curious about what it’s like to be doing the happy homestead thing of making goat’s milk soap. To most folks both- milking a goat and making cold process soap are intimidating tasks- we will demystify both and have fun while we do it. This class is a broad overview with hands-on opportunity to milk a goat and to craft a batch of soap out of the milk. There is a “class room part” with an overview of dairy goat keeping and soap making as well as some take home material s to keep you going on your own soap making journey. 

Making your own soap makes sense - it results in the best soap you could buy with total control over the choice of ingredients, oils, colors and scents. One batch of soap can last a normal household a year- not bad for a few hours of effort! 

Included in the class:

Hands on experience of goat milking and basics of what it takes to keep a goat happy and healthy. 

Overview of cold process soap making and the tools and ingredients required. 

Participation in the making of a batch of cold process soap with the milk we previously milked!

We will break for refreshments and serve a cheese plate of our goat’s milk cheeses and hot beverages. 

All materials are provided, including instructional take home materials. 

Each participant will receive three pieces of the soap- to be picked up at the farm or at

One of our farmers markets after they have started to cure (one week out).
