From Our Farm to Your Skin: The Story Behind Our Soap & Tallow Journey

Nestled in the heart of Tuolumne County, surrounded by the rolling hills and the gentle rhythm of rural life, our journey into handcrafted skincare began with a shared dream, and a whole lot of love for clean, simple living.

We're two moms (and best friends) raising six kids between us, and like many families, we found ourselves frustrated by the endless shelves of store-bought skincare products full of ingredients we couldn't pronounce. We wanted better for ourselves, husbands and children. We longed for products that were truly nourishing, rooted in nature, and free from synthetic junk.

That longing turned into action.

What began as a few small batches in our kitchens quickly grew into full-fledged passion. Today, every bar of soap and every jar of whipped tallow balm is made with intention, purity, and purpose.

Our goat milk products are made from milk we hand-milk from our own goats, right here on our farms. It's a labor of love that ensures our products are not only natural, but deeply personal. Our soaps also contain lard that we source from our own pigs or a small local ranches pigs that add extra nourishment and hydration. All of our tallow products are 100% rendered from start to finish by us, sourcing suet fat from our own cows or a trusted local ranches-keeping our ingredients close to home and as clean as possible. 

We believe skincare should be simple, honest, and effective. That's why our products are made with minimal, whole ingredients-free from phthalates, silicones, parabens, and so much more. Just nutrient-rich, farm-fresh goodness straight from our farms to your home. 

This business isn't just about soap and skincare. It's about reclaiming wellness, empowering families, and creating a lifestyle rooted in tradition and trust. Every product we craft reflects our values, our dedication to clean living, and our love for the land we're blessed to call home.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We're honored to share a piece of our farm, and hearts, with you!

With gratitude,
