CSA Farmers Market:  NEW SOAP MAKERS


New Soap Makers

We have two wonderful new soap companies coming to our group. This means we will have three entirely different soaps for you to choose from. We will still have the wonderful goat milk soaps offered by Pineberry Dairy from Silverwood Michigan. Now we are also offering natural bee product soap from Hive Made Products in Gladwin Michigan. If you prefer Omega rich olive oil soap we have Moon River Soaps made in Rochester Michigan.

Rebekah Townsend from Hive Made Products is passionate about creating a safe enriching soap for her family and yours. She and her husband have taken vast steps for their family to live life simply and naturally. After making some changes to what they put inside their bodies, they decided to take a closer look at the products they used on the outside. They were motivated by what they found to create their own body care products. They became bee keepers in 2013 and now use some of their own honey and beeswax in these products. It’s their passion to share with others the healing and moisturizing qualities they discovered in their body care products. They run their apiary, make quality handmade body care products, and rear their three sons on the homestead in Gladwin, Michigan.

Moon River soap maker Carlos and formulator Elizabeth Aprea, along with their daughter and son-in-law, make their rich moisturizing soaps in the beautiful sage green building downtown Rochester that they also call home. They discovered that synthetic fragrance in commercial soap was triggering her head aches and decided to research essential oils and botanicals. They created their fist batch of cold pressed organic olive oil soap with the knowledge gained from that research. They noticed that national baby wash was causing their grandson dry, irritated skin and after using the soap on him they saw his skin healed up almost immediately! They create this soap with a passion for healthy living and natural healing. They use natural NON-GMO ingredients that are free of chemicals and preservatives. Each hand poured bar of soap is made with omega rich olive oil, nurturing botanicals, and certified 100% pure essential oils. They never use petrochemicals, sulfates, synthetic fragrance or phthalates.
