Goat Milk Soap Making at The Wool Family Farm

Wool Family Farm 330 Pine Level Micro Road, Selma, NC, United States

Discover the unique process of turning goat milk and tallow into quality soap… In collaboration with The Wool Family Farm: Get ready to join artisan soap maker Evelyn Wool in a hands-on goat milk soap making workshop. In this workshop, you will learn how to make goat milk soap using natural ingredients found in your kitchen, like tallow or lard, olive oil, coconut oil, essential oils, foods, and spices, specifically using the cold process method. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with the farm’s endearing Nubian dairy goats and Mangalista pigs, adding a personalized touch to this enriching experience. You will receive a comprehensive list of safety tips and materials, together with a goat milk soap recipe and detailed instructions for creating your own nourishing bar of goat milk soap at home. As a special thank-you for attending this workshop, you will also receive several bonuses, including a tallow balm recipe, a gift box containing two bars of goat milk soap, and a discount QR code for use at The Wool Family Farm’s online Farm Market & Soap Shop! About The Wool Family Farm: In 2010, Robert Wool was hand-digging a pit for a water feature when a vision struck his wife, Evelyn, of their family on a beautiful farm surrounded by nature. When Evelyn shared her vision with Robert, she expected him to scoff and tell her it was a silly dream. Instead, Robert looked up at her and said, “Let’s buy a cow.” Four years and a 600-mile move later, they did, and they now raise cows, Mangalitsa pigs, and goats in addition to making beautiful soaps and writing darling, farm-themed children’s books.
