About Us
Our Mission
Our business is about people. How can we make a difference in someone’s life? Sometimes it’s the littlest things that stay with us and make the biggest difference in our lives. We may not even notice and that’s ok.
How can skin care make a difference in someone’s life? Well maybe it will or maybe not, but if we feel good about ourselves, we are likely to be more of who we are. It is our goal to produce products that will help your skin to become glowing and healthy, naturally!
Providing a positive, uplifting environment to work in is very important! We want people to enjoy working for us whether on the farm or the skin care business!
Of course, we have a dairy goat farm! Animals are very therapeutic and our goats love to interact with people. We like to work with young people and private visits are offered by appointment.
Overall, our goal is to offer you products that are:
- Good for your skin, which will make a difference for you.
- Produced in an encouraging, uplifting environment.
- Made with milk from our goats that love people and will give hugs (or at least nibbles) to anyone who wants them!
Why buy from us
How we Started
Our passion for our business stems from a couple of different things. First of all, I had a desire for our children grow up on a farm. We had some cattle, but my passion was goats. Goats are smaller and easier for children to work with and since it would mostly be me and them doing this, I decided goats were a good choice. That may have been a bit selfish, but it worked out well! It led to many life experiences, both sad and wonderful, and we still have a nice herd to produce the milk for us! (Go Here if you want a more detailed story!)
Since we had plenty of milk from the goats, we ventured into soap making. This was not such a popular thing back in 1999. No YouTube. Either read a book with instructions or try until I got it right. I did not read the instructions, but I did learn a lot!
Our soap making helped pay for the goats and gave the girls and I bit of experience in the world of being an entrepreneur. We worked on additional goat milk products and the hobby slowly grew into a business with a number of products that we are very proud of.
Our love for animals spread into developing a line of skin care products that has helped many have healthy, glowing skin with clean, natural ingredients. Our goats are fed non-GMO/organic feed and hay/pasture, plus we use natural and organic ingredients in our products. This is very important to us and we aren’t willing to compromise!
It is important to us that we support local businesses! This means those in Ohio as well as the USA. The ingredients we use are from sustainable, ethical sources which we purchase from local suppliers. Of course, the milk is from our farm. You will notice that we offer several products that are not skin care. These are local artists that I like and trust.
Boxes and most bags are made in the USA. Any paper for packaging is USA made, and recycled. Plastic packaging is saved and donated to us so that it can be reused. The containers used in packaging our products are produced in the USA, PLUS, they are recyclable.
We are working hard to do our part for the environment, so please recycle and reuse!
Customer Service

Our Packaging and the Environment
Our Packaging and the Environment - How we are doing our part
Ok, so there is a lot of talk about taking care of the environment. I guess I will jump in with what our company does.
Our soaps come in a box type wrap. This covers more of the soap for your safety. They all have as little packaging as possible which is healthy for the soap (it can “breathe”) and the environment. No plastic!
While at first glance, glass seems to be reasonable choice for our other products, it is very impractical for what we do. Heavy to ship, easily broken, etc. Then there is tin. Lighter, doesn’t break, but not easy to use for lotions or creams.
This leads me to the packaging that I have chosen. The Hand and Body Lotion as well as the Facial Creams are packaged in PET containers. These are safe for you and can be recycled. They do not hold up under heat so they are generally not handy to reuse for products. The facial cream containers may be nice to hand wash and use for storing small items or carrying in a purse with something small you need. Maybe aspirin or jewelry?
The white packaging that I use for my other products is polypropylene. The name sounds scary, but it’s not. It is safe for food and cosmetics and it can be recycled as well as reused. They are light weight and affordable, which keeps the cost down for you. I do not refill these containers, but you can! Be creative. They are durable and can tolerate heat so see what you can come up with!
All that said, the rest is up to you! Any packaging that I would choose would ultimately be in your hands for disposal. Be creative or recycle! It is easy to just drop it in the trash can, but with a few more steps these items can go to the proper place where they can be recycled and not end up in a place they shouldn’t.
There are many things in our world today that can destroy our world. Together we can make a difference!
Here is more about who we are and what we do, and here is more about the ingredients we use.
Of Course our products are Cruelty Free!
If we want to offer you a line of skin care that we feel is good for you, then it starts with spoiling our goats! They each have a name and they know their name. The rest goes without saying!
