Education: Soap Making

From the Presenters: “We’ve had many people ask us where we got the idea to make old-fashioned lard soap. The idea for this soap actually came from all three of us ladies. It is so neat how the puzzle has all come together. Gods hand truly is in everything!🧼

For Megan, it is personal and continuing a legacy started by her Nana Jan, and Jan’s sister. The recipe actually comes from them and the soap business they ran for 20+ years. We are so honored to carry on their work!

For Alyssa (LouLou), she comes from a homesteading background and loves to provide her own family with clean, safe products. She provides a lot of the creative talent and is an amazing asset!

For Alysa, (Allie), the idea came from her pigs. She has been building her business Carmichael Farms KuneKune for the last couple years. KuneKune are a heritage breed of pig and they have a lot of lard when processed. We use the lard from the pigs as often as possible in place of store-bought lard to help utilize the entire animal.”
