How do you make goat milk soap?
Basically, this soap is made using the Cold Process. While making soap is not tricky, combining goats' milk into the soap in the precise proportions at correct temperatures and proper mixing techniques requires the touch of a skilled artisan (such as Charlie or Margaret).

Of course, we can't tell you exactly how we make our unique soap here at Cud-Zu Goat Farms- you'll just have to try some for yourself and become a believer of the great benefits! : )

Where can I find Cud-Zu goats' milk soap ?
You can find the soap at the Carrboro Farmer's Market on Saturdays, in health food stores such as Weaver Street Market in Carrboro, or if Hillsborough is closer, try Gro Smart on the corner of Churton Street and Orange Grove Road. In Durham, you can find our soap at Stone Bros and Byrd near the old ball park, and in Chatham County at the Chatham Marketplace..

But in my opinion, if you want the best of all trips, go to Maple View Farm Country Store for the best ice cream and the best soap -- Cud-Zu Goat Farm Goat Milk Soap!

Why use our goats' milk soap?

Milk of all kinds has been known as a rejuvenator and a moisturizer of the human skin, all the way back to Cleopatra and her bath of asses' milk. Now scientists are finding that these traditional routines and remedies do have a basis in scientific fact.

We are all sensitive about what we put into our bodies, and we should be equally concerned about what we put on our bodies; our skin is the largest organ of our body and will absorb that which we apply to it.

Here's why we think our goat milk soap is so great :

1. Soothing to your skin --- the high fat content and the small particle size of the goats' milk will combine with the olive oil to form a moisturizer on your skin.

2. Long lasting --- A typical bar will last much longer than a regular detergent bar because it is poured as a slab and does not contain any air bubbles. It is then aged four weeks to harden.

3. No artificial ingredients --- such as additives, preservatives, dyes for coloring, or stabilizers. Also,we do not use lard or tallow.

4. No animal testing --- is done on or with our soap—although we do occasionally wash the goats with it!.

So, it's an all-natural bar of soap that is good for your skin, will last longer than most commercial bars, and the goats' milk will combine with the olive oil to form a moisturizer, leaving your skin feeling softer and smoother. If you don't believe us, just try it for yourself!

What do goats eat ?
You may have heard that goats will eat just about anything, including tin cans and even rubber boots. Well, this is not exactly true. While goats will nibble on just about anything they can get their teeth into (they are curious creatures)...they actually prefer leaves, grain, hay and, of course, kudzu. Kudzu contains 20% protein while good hay will contain 12-15% protein. Therefore, we hope they'll eat as much kudzu as they can (as we've got plenty of it!).

Contrary to what you may have heard, goats are fussy eaters and will not eat anything that another goat has stepped on or even a treat if it has fallen to the ground!

What do goats like to do? One of the favorite pastimes of the Cud-Zu farm goats is going for their evening walk. Each evening, Margaret likes to take the goats out of their pasture for a walk in the woods that border the farm. They get to do some exploring while snacking on fresh leaves and other goodies that they can't find within their pasture, such as hedge and honeysuckle.
	Goats are also very playful creatures. They like to butt heads (usually they are playing, but sometimes it's to challenge for their position in the herd), and chase each other around. They are also very curious animals and love to jump up onto places. In the barn, we have several spool reels that they love to climb on! Back to Top

What are the ingredients in your goat milk soap ?
Our unique goat milk soap is handcrafted on the Cud-Zu Goat Farm using whole goats' milk and saponified olive, coconut, and vegetable oils. There is no animal testing or ingredients, except for the whole goats' milk.

We do use:

1. Essential Oils ------- which are the natural oils from the plants and a few fragrances from very reputable companies.

2. A special blend ------ of pure, all vegetable oils including virgin olive oil.

3. Whole goats milk ---- with almost an ounce in each large bar. And fresh from our goats.
