When we think about sustainable living, we think about living in a way that can be continued and that is not going to deplete natural resources unnecessarily.

What does this have to do with soap?  Soap products are frequently sold in plastic containers that end up in landfills. The soap products usually contain preservatives and chemicals that can be hard on our skin and our environment. These are not sustainable practices. 

Love Homestead Products, LLC offers soap bars, these have no plastic packaging. This reduces the amount of plastic that ends up in our landfills. Our soap has no preservatives or chemicals that will end up in our drinking water. The soap we offer is completely safe for your skin and hair. 

Our soap is made of the freshest goat milk from goats who are loved. We are a small family owned business and care about providing the best product to you and your family. There is some controversy around palm oil being used in soap, we do not use it for that reason. We have a great product without using it. 

We take care of our environment in other ways too. We provide only recyclable packaging. All of our ingredients are natural and are organic when available. Our products are safe to use as all in one so no need to have a separate shampoo, conditioner, face soap and body wash. This cuts down significantly on the amount of packaging that is thrown away.

Please check out our shop, buy some soap and let us know what you think.

A couple months ago I met Jane, she owns Carnes Collective in Blair, NE. I had a table at her shop for a Saturday to sell some of my soap for the first time. She told me that if I could add some beer to the soap she thought I would really have a good product to sell. She gave me some suggestions about how to display and package my soap and suggested that I do some research into how the successful soap sellers are displaying their product. I did some research and learned a lot in the last few weeks. 

I am so happy to say that on Saturday August 31, 2019 we have a spot to sell our soap at this little coffee and sandwich shop. This is an opportunity to touch, hold and smell our soap. Most people are surprised at how fragrant the soap is and how well it holds its scent. I would love for you to stop by the shop and let me know your thoughts on our display and try our soap.

This long Labor Day weekend I have had some time to make more soap. I have Honey, Beer and Goat Milk Soap and Echinacea, Beer and Goat Milk Soap cooling in the refrigerator. In about 48 hours they will come out of their molds, and will be available for sale in about 4 weeks.

Please check out the pictures below of our display at Carnes Collective at 16th and Washington Street in Blair, NE.
