From Blue Ribbons to Bar Soap

Small batch. Hand-rendered. Straight from the farm.

I’ve been making soap my whole life—and I don’t mean with melt-and-pour kits or factory-made bases. I’m talking about real soap: rendered tallow, lard, and raw buttermilk. The kind passed down, not sold in stores.

All of our ingredients come from neighboring farms right here in Fayette County, Texas. We render our tallow and lard by hand, just like my grandmother taught me. The buttermilk? It’s made from fresh raw Jersey milk—thick, rich, and packed with all the skin-loving goodness nature intended.

This isn’t just natural soap. It’s luxurious, sustainable, and honest.

The base recipe is backed by County Fair Blue Ribbons—starting in 1966, when my grandma won her first lard-rendering prize in Southern Ohio. She learned the craft growing up in the hills of Kentucky, deep in what most folks call Appalachia. And she passed it straight down the line.

I’ve rarely bought a bar of commercial soap in my life. When I have, it was mostly out of curiosity—and I was always let down. There’s just no comparison.

Natural soap made with sustainable animal fats that mirror the structure of our own skin. It feels like a miracle the first time you use it.
Folks with irritation, dryness, or skin issues tell me they finally feel relief—and the biggest surprise? You may never need moisturizer again. Just real soap. The way it used to be.
