Goat milk soap
Rochelle has raised sheep in the past, she’s most recently been intrigued by goats. She is “enthralled with the idea of milk, and all you can do with it” and purchased the first of what is now a herd of 35 friendly and personable goats who have no problem coming right up to guests for a scratch.
The goats are beautiful, and a colorful mix of four breeds – Nigerian Dwarf, Boer, Nubian, and Alpine – separated into three paddocks by sex and age. Also living in the paddocks are Lloyd the llama and three livestock guardian dogs: Aslan, Lucy, and Moby.
What started out as a business selling raw goat milk through Idaho’s Raw Milk program to local customers has now expanded to include making goat milk soaps. The basement of Rochelle’s home serves as her creative space. In her soap-making room she has an assortment of hand-made wooden molds, colored powders, fragrant oils, and bits of flowers and herbs from her garden that she uses when designing her soaps.
