10 Bar Shipping

I wanted to remind everyone that the best price break for shipping soap is at 10 bars.  We can ship up to 10 bars anywhere in the United States in a flat rate padded priority envelope for $7.25.  You can find the detailed shipping information on the website.

The Banner

We are no longer including a copy of our catalog - "The Banner" - with every order.  If you would like to receive a copy with your order, just add a Banner to your cart or leave us a customer note asking for one.  If you have already received a copy, we would appreciate it if you would take a moment and provide us some feedback.  Just go to The Banner's page on our website and scroll toward the bottom.  If you are logged in, the page will say "Add your review here".  If you don't see that, just be sure to login to your GMS account.  We're hoping to put out another edition of the Banner mid to late 2015 and would really love your feedback. 

January Retail Room Hours

We offered extended holiday hours during the Fall of 2014.  We have decided to keep these hours for the month of January and then re-evaluate.  If you are local and visit the retail room, please let us know how important the Wednesday evening hours are to you. 

January hours will be Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, Wednesday 8am - 7pm, Saturday 8am-2pm.

The Goat Milk Stuff Blog

We have a blog series where we answer some of the questions we are frequently asked. You can enjoy reading our responses and also ask a question of your own.  Here are a few questions from this month:

Hang 10

Learn more about our family and our lives through our Hang 10 video series (we call it "Hang 10" because there are 10 of us).  They are released on a weekly basis on Wednesdays on our Youtube channel. 
 

 

December was a wonderful month for us.  Not only did we get to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus, but we got to celebrate both Greyden's and Brett's birthdays as well.

Greyden's birthday comes first.























Followed 2 days later by Brett's birthday.





















Brett is now 18 and I can't believe she's all "grown up".  She and Colter are continuing to take classes at our local community college.  They're trying to get all the requirements taken care of as they consider all their options for a four-year degree.

Out in the barn, the goats are advancing in their pregnancies and some of them are starting to look quite large!  



We never got pregnancy tests done this year, so we're guessing as to who is pregnant and due which month.  Our earliest possible due date is January 31st.  Goats can deliver within a 10 day window (plus or minus 5 days from their due date).  So baby goats will be here before we know it!

It hasn't been super cold here in Southern Indiana, but it has been so dreary.  We've only seen the sun a few times and it is amazing how much we all miss it!
