The Farmer had heard, a little, when Queen Agra said the animals wanted to convince the townsfolk that their road was haunted. Since she was still in a dreamworld, it didn’t really click in right away. But one day she heard Sir Assinine braying at the roadside, and watching the cars screech to a halt, getting out to check if their car was falling apart. “Well, that’s one way to do it,” she said to herself, but was wondering if there was something else she could do. She

Science fiction has long been one of my “go to” genres in entertainment. However, as I’ve gotten older, it seems less like fantasy and more like a horror movie. Not because the special effects have gotten better, or the messages have gotten too frightening. It’s because some of the lessons in those messages have gotten lost in the tech. I’ve known for a long time that humans are inherently lazy. Not in the way of “slovenly,” but as we have always sought”easier” ways to do

For many people goat’s milk soap is the “cream of the crop,” in natural soaps. Why? I admit I’m a little partial, but here’s what I’ve seen through my years of making it. 1. Goat Milk Soap is a natural moisturizer I’ve been making Surfing Goat Soaps goat milk soap for more than 20 years. At first I took it for granted. It was just a way to make my goat’s help pay for themselves. But then, I went to get a donkey. I rarely stay overnight away from the farm, because there

The misspellings are from the computer. I tried to teach it to spell Hames & Axle Farm, and it couldn't change it's own captions. Thankfully, it was able to get the spelling right in the image. Surfing Goat Soaps makes goat milk soap, but we also want to make our customers a little more peace. Here's how.

Early Bird Notice! Onyx is back! Onyx is our facial soap, which I make occasionally. It's made in small batches with just 9 bars in each batch. When I first made this, I sold a few, but then it slowed down. Several years later someone came to me and asked if I had anymore. She'd been using it all this time and finally needed to refill. Onyx is made using our goat milk, babbassu oil, mango butter, olive and avocado oil. Colored with activated charcoal, to help draw out oil

Yrtl the turtle soap Embracing Competition with Confidence When I apply to a market, I often wonder how many soap makers will be there. In the past, I feared competition. But not anymore! I have confidence in our products, and that comes from years of hearing feedback from our wonderful customers. Many soapers boast about their amazing scents. But I prefer to hear, “It’s so subtle.” I only use essential oils. I know they are as strong as artificial fragrances, but the long-te

Fynniroos Celebrate the Things You Love This is Fynn, the dog who stole my heart. Our Fynniroos don't get enough attention, so I wanted to let you know about them. When you use a soap, don't you need a towel? We figure you do. But we also believe that all of us have more "stuff" than we know what to do with, so we wanted to celebrate the things you love, with practical goods. Fynniroos are named about my Heartdog - Fynn. She was an English shepherd, my first one. She h

One aspect of Queen Agra The real world finally settled down, as the Farmer decided to focus more on her own business than worrying about anyone else’s. Queen Agra noticed that she was spending more time in the barn, making things, and singing around the farm. It was time to have the conversation about the latest Grousing Day. Early one morning, just as the sunrays were just starting to reach through the woods, Queen Agra went through the Veil and flew into the Farmer

"I only had one child, who's all grown up, but what does a person do with that creative energy? Name goats and soaps, naturally."

"How long does it take to make the soap? " That should be an easy answer......

Our last litter of kittens with their Aunt Callie. The normal process after a Grousing Day is a meeting between Queen Agra and the Farmer. But these meetings are done in that “dream time,” when the Farmer is waking up, but not all the way there. There is a time when the heart and the brain are aware, but the body’s muscles haven’t awoken yet, so it’s the best time for the magic and the reality to meet. This time, there was a problem. The Farmer was having so many

Unmolding our Molded Menagerie for Surfing Goat Soaps.

Surfing Goat Soaps is the home of the imaginary world of Caprenity, but it is also the place to find some wonderful soap and other products. We wanted to introduce you all to our all natural bar soaps, but they are a pretty tough interview. So instead, we’d like to introduce them to you through the herd of Caprenity goats. Every year, new goats were born on Caprenity Farm. Queen Agra was very thankful that she didn’t have to come up with the names for them all. That w

In the magical world there are lots of different types of creatures. In fairies alone there are Tooth Fairies, Fairy Godmothers, Sprites, Brownies, Banshees and more. Being a farm fairy is out of the ordinary, but Agra liked being a bit different. It was a perfect fit. Before she came to Caprenity, Agra was a fairy godmother. She wore fancy dresses, and shimmered everywhere she went. She helped humans fulfill their wishes, which usually involved getting them more mon

While the magical world has the Knights to protect the residents, Caprenity Farm in the real world, has Gunny, the Scentinel. The farm was surrounded on all sides by woods, and lots of wild spaces. It was a great place to live, but sometimes full of danger. When the farm was first built the human family brought with them two dogs who were basically pets. One of them was a great guardian, but also a herder, and as long as Fynn lived the farm was safe. Sh
