I once heard that if a fence will hold water, it’ll likely hold goats. Likely. Knowing this, one would think being a goat owner would be something to be avoided. Not for the Faith Farms Goat Milk Soap family. The family consists of Kevin & Heather Adams, Ashlen & Cameron Vogelsang and Addison & John Gaylor and a host of second generation goat farmers in the making. When Addison & Ashlen approached their folks over 12 years ago about purchasing goats, Heather’s answer was; and I quote, “Over my dead body”. Famous last words! It took a small presentation, but Heather and Kevin gave in to their young girls’ request and bought 4 goats, one of which is still on the farm today. They started a petting zoo with their goats as an educational tool in their homeschool community. It was then that someone piqued their interest when they were asked about using the goat milk to make soap. Never ones to avoid a challenge, the girls dove right into soap making. They made their first batch, which sold out, and discovered that the soap was healing their dad and brother’s cracked hands in the winter months. So in 2012 Heather, Ashlen & Addison began making and selling soap and officially launched into business in 2015. They didn’t stop at soap though. Today, on their website www.faithfarmsgms.com, you can find soap, lotion, lip balm, beard oil and laundry detergent just to name a few items. Their laundry detergent is almost as famous as the soap within the farm/ranch community. It gets out of your clothes whatever the farm gets in! Their scents are even more varied than the products they make. Honeysuckle, Vanilla Almond, Blackberry, Cranberry Orange, Honey Oatmeal, Charcoal & Lemon Sage are just a tiny sampling of the scents available. Though Faith Farms makes top quality products, those products are second place to the most important thing in their lives: their faith. They are a family owned & operated business that works to glorify God through the products they provide to their customers. They invite you to try their non-toxic (phthalate & paraben free!!) products to see for yourself what sets them apart. You can find Faith Farms products online, at local farmers’ markets and at local retailers such as Cypress Home & Garden in Rossville. Remember to shop local and shop Fayette first!
