 About Us
In the Fall of 1998 our little farm, nestled near the Blue Ridge Parkway, was established. We both came from a metropolitan area and wanted to begin a simpler lifestyle. We love animals and since Bill was raised on goat’s milk, we decided to purchase a few dairy goats to supply us with that wonderful white liquid gold!
Our first two goats, Dumpling and Biscuit, helped us accomplish that goal when they freshened in 1999. To our amazement, we found that we had more milk than we could ever use. Our friend Sharon, who sold us our goats, came over and introduced us to the fine art of soap making using goat’s milk. We were hooked and the rest is history.
Our farm is blessed with 4 dogs, 4 cats as well as numerous chickens and guinea fowl. Our herd is composed of 20 goats and we have a sweet Jerusalem donkey to protect them, (although the goats think they are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.)
Our days here at Faith Mountain Farm are filled to the brim and overflowing! Top priority in the mornings is feeding our animals. These include our dairy herd, as well as our Boer goats, Jerusalem donkey, and our flock of chickens. This is followed quickly by the feeding of our bodies and souls and that gets us moving in the right direction for the day. Our dairy herd is milked each day while our soap products are made Monday through Friday of each week.
 Each Fall we added to our product line our therapy bags, (Snuggle Buddies, found on "Handcrafted in Virginia") for helping to ease aches and pains away. Now we have them all year long! We are currently selling our soaps and lotions at craft shows and gift shops in our area and other states. We also take orders for gift baskets and ship all of our orders throughout the US. In the years we have been making goat milk soaps and goat milk lotions we have been blessed with many faithful customers and we thank them for helping us grow.
Sundays are filled with attending church, feeding, milking and caring for our animals....and resting. This rounds out our week and starts our new week helping us feel more refreshed and ready to begin our fun packed days all over again.
Thank you for spending some time with us and please feel free to contact us so we can get to know you better.
