Soap & Beauty Product Classes


Student soaps with lavender and dried herbs.
Come have some fun and learn to make goat's milk soap with us! Join in on one of these upcoming classes. We'll take you through all the steps to make your own custom goat's milk soaps- perfect for gifts or for your own personal use! You will create eight 5 oz bars of soap (a $56 retail value). The cost for class is $50 per person and includes all the materials needed to create your soap. You may choose to use one of our soap molds and return to pick up your soap (or arrange to have your soaps mailed to you) or bring your own mold(s) to take your soap with you after class. Pre-registration is required. Seating is extremely limited, to give each student personal attention. 

 The goat's milk soap you will learn to make is called a "cold process" soap. We use organic olive, coconut, sunflower, avocado, and palm oil, lye, and our own goat's milk to create wonderfully creamy, gentle bars of soap. The recipe I created for class will yield approximately eight 5 oz bars of soap. You may choose to add dried herbs or flowers like calendula or lavender or peppermint to create a soap that is singularly yours. Each student will receive a hand-out with complete instructions, additional recipes, and a list of local and online resources. 

In our Lotion & Lip Balm Class, you will create 16 oz of luxury body lotion and bring it home in a refillable, glass jar. At the risk of sounding immodest, once you make this lotion for your family, you'll never want to use anything else. It's *that* good! Lotion ingredients include Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Stearic Acid, Vitamin E, Water, Emulsifying Wax, and (optional) Optiphen- to preserve shelf life. We offer essential oils to scent your lotion, if you so desire. You'll also create six flavorful lip balms with vegan butters, oils, and waxes to lock in your lips' moisture and keep them healthy all year long. The cost of this class is $45 per person and pre-registration is required. Seating is limited to 4 students at our farm and up to 6 students at RSU 3 in order to have plenty of room, time and attention for each student. Each student will receive a copy of the recipes we create together in class. Our classes often sell out quickly, so don't delay in reserving your spot. We hope to see you! 

Classes are currently being scheduled in our Creamery at our Homestead and also at RSU 3 Adult Education resuming fall 2022.

Our classes are family friendly. Well behaved children are welcome to help their parent create soap. Please let us know in advance if you will be bringing a child so we can have enough safety equipment available.

  1. Could you ever offer a class on a Saturday? I live in Lamoine and work until 5:30 on weekdays. I would love to take a soap making and body lotion class!
