Day 8 - FFF Photo a Day

On our farm we raise goats primarily for milk production. We use milk to make yogurt, cheese and soap - pictured here. 

Contrary to popular belief, I find soap fairly easy to make. Goat's milk soap is creamy and lush but not too soft or mushy. 

Besides milk, you can use a variety of oils such as almond, olive, or coconut oil. We add a small amount of essential oils to our soap to give it a pleasant scent. You can also add tints or colour although I prefer the creamy white that comes from the use of the goat's milk with no additives. 

We use a silicon brownie mold for our soap molds as it makes these tidy, uniform little bars very easily, however there are so many different molds and shapes that you can use. If you are interested in further information on soap making, there are many resources on-line including one of my previous blogs - Soap making - the art of clean.
