Our first batches of donkey milk soap sold out quickly! And more is curing and being made as fast as we can!
As a professional licensed Esthetician, it thrills me to be able to work with such amazing natural skin care ingredient!!
As a farmer, I'm blessed that I have the ability to produce this milk myself so I know first hand that the donkeys the milk is taken from are loved and fed the best natural foods. And my milking donkeys are chemical free!
Another goal for 2017 is My herb gardens will also be expanding as I find the need for more of my own medicinal herbs and I want to grow more herbs for the soap line. Herbs and Donkey milk do work so well together! Of course, lard from our Meishan pigs is another farm product raised here. A lard hog is such a wonderful thing for a soap business!
Having a soap business side hustle can be a great way to bring in extra cash to the homestead!
Especially when I grow SO much of the things that go into my soaps!

Good quality herbs are hard to find and expensive. Many are stale by the time they get to you and their effectiveness isn't very good. Growing your own herbs is so easy!
If I do honey soap we have our own honey and beeswax, my egg white facial soap is made from our own eggs.
As you can see my cost for a bar of soap is very low and we get the benefits of having these other homegrown products!
If you're interested in milking donkey on your own farm a good place to start is with my ebook Donkey Care Primer which can provide you with info you need to know before you bring home a donkey!
As always thankful to God for the wonderful opportunities he has put in front of us! All the glory is His!
