Have you ever tried goat milk soap? If not, you should!
My brother, sister-in-law, and eight of their ten kids live on Sheldon Family Farm & Dairy where they manage their many goats, cows, ponies, pigs, bees, chickens, cats, dogs, as well as a goose (or maybe it’s a duck?) and a rabbit. I think I’m still forgetting something. Anyway, using the milk from their goats, they’ve created a fantastic line of goat milk soap available here and various stores in the low country of South Carolina. As I alluded to in a previous post, I had some run-ins with the goats when I tried to capture some photos of their products last week, which is documented in some photos below. You can check out some of the beauty of the farm in my post about the farm after a rainstorm. Here are some photos to entice you to check out their great smelling, high-quality (i.e. leave your hands feeling amazingly soft) soaps. 🙂
I thought photos of the goats by the soap would be cute, like this one. 🙂
… then this happened. Goats really will eat anything!
This was the best I could do to get the babies to pose for me. 🙂
So many options and scents available!
Available in downtown Beaufort at Greenfish.
At the local feed store.
Also available at the local cider store.
Special gift wrap also available.
Some new residents on the front porch.
The bees whose wax/honey is used is some of their products.
If those photos aren’t enough to make you want to check out their great soap products, maybe these adorable kids who help make them will help! 🙂
Sheldon Family Farm & Dairy after a rainstorm
As I mentioned in my trip preview post, I was able to visit my brother’s farm last week in South Carolina. It was so fun to have family time and to get a glimpse of the farm in action. I got some photos after a rainstorm and also tried to capture some of the great things they have going on with their Sheldon Family Farm & Dairy projects, like the bees and goat milk soap. I absolutely love the soap and can attest to how great the scents are and the great feeling on your skin after using it. If you’d like to order some for yourself, check out their website. I’ll post more photos of the soap business in another blog post soon.
Such a great description of my brother’s family.
Here’s my brother, sister-in-law, and their eight youngest children (two others aren’t at home anymore). I’ll post more of this photo shoot soon.
Here are the photos I got after a rainstorm one evening:
After a rainstorm
It started raining when I was out there. Love the glistening raindrops!
Love the chickens through the window.
How I love evening shadows.
Evening light is one of my favorite things.
Rainbow!
