Handcrafting Goat's Milk Soap
Time to learn a new skill…
Jireh Hills Soap Co. is committed to making healthy and natural soaps using fresh goat’s milk from our own little dairy herd. Not only do we sell our natural soaps all over North America, but we want to inspire and show YOU how to do it too!
Are you interested in learning a creative new skill that is centuries old? Are you looking for a memorable and fun time out with friends & family? Are you interested in natural skin care & learning how to use essential oils and herbs in your daily routine?
