HAMES & AXLE FARM
Our Story
We started as a farm education program, but the school systems didn't think that was a priority. Selling goats isn't enough to pay the feed bills — so we started making soap.
MEET PAT
Farmers who make soap
We are first and foremost Hames & Axle Farm, breeders of Nigerian Dwarf goats. We raise a small number of animals, really well, and tell the truth about how it's done — no marketing fluff, no factory-farm shortcuts, just a love of the land and the goats who graze it.
Our goats aren't high producers. They are everyday workers who make us smile daily, and the soaps are one way we can share that joy with you. We are not a fancy soapmaker. We are farmers who make soap.
You can buy our soap from this site, from the stores listed here, and on the farm, by appointment. Come say hello — the goats will too.
THE STRESSBUSTER STORY
Soap as a stressbuster
Whether it's a hot shower or a warm bath, getting a chance to wash off the stress is great. I don't make soap for beauty reasons. I make it for health reasons — for your health, for ours, and for the Earth, as well.
I make it to give users a chance to relax, smile at the thought of a silly goat helping them, or to provide a place where their imagination can run free. It's more than a gift for your heart, though. It's a gift for your body and soul, too.
