Today was also goats milk soapmaking day and I wanted to create a new scent using organic essential oils. But first stop…the goats for milking!
Step 1. Put milk pail up high so the goats can’t knock it over.

There's lots of yummy things in our goats milk soap!
Step 3: Prepare the milking machine
We do a combination of hand milking and machine milking depending on the goat
He's actually available for self sufficiency and goat milking mentoring via www.capeable.com.au
Step 4: Find someone who knows how to use the goat milking machine

A freshly poured bar of goats milk soap in our new essential oil "flavour": Lime, Lemongrass and Orange. The kitchen smelt fab!
Step 6: Use all this lovely raw goats milk to make goats milk soap.
And here are some images of the soaps we made a few days ago using our own honey, goats milk yoghurt and organic essential lavender oil:

Honey and goatsmilk soap is just divine
Step 7: In 4 weeks, if you’d like, you will be able to buy some of our handmade, cured goatsmilk soap, including the new organic oil scent of Lime, Lemongrass & Orange..it’s a goatsmilk soap zinger! We’ll be selling our soaps online, as well as at the new Gloucester (NSW) Farmers market. We’ll be calling the range “Honeycomb Valley” and will also be offering natural lip balms, sleep balms and insect repellent balms.
Thank you for your time. Thank you goats! Thank you bees!
