Unbagged Half Bars
It's time again for discounted unbagged half bars. These are only available while supplies last. Once they are sold out, we will not unbag other half bars for you. The popular scents tend to go quickly, so don't delay.
Please remember, these are not labeled in any way, so if you can't identify them, you need to order the regular bagged half bars.

Goat Yoga
Well... people have asked and we are finally making it available! Yes - goat yoga is arriving at the Goat Milk Stuff farm. This is an incredible way to relax, take care of your body, and enjoy time with the goats. This class is with a certified yoga instructor and is for all levels including people who have never before tried yoga.
We will have 3 times available during the month of March (see the goat yoga page for details).
We want to determine the best days of the week and times to offer more events going forward. So if you can't make any of the March dates, please give us your feedback about when you would like to see goat yoga classes held if you are local and able to attend.

GMS Sweet Shop.com
The new Goat Milk Stuff food website - https://gmsSweetShop.com has been super popular and continues to be improved. The "wearables" such as Goat Milk Stuff sweatshirts, hoodies, t-shirts, hats, and visors are now available on the site.
Now that so many mama goats are back to milking, we have tons of yummy food items and we are super excited to share them again. And for those of you who have patiently waited, the goat milk marshmallows are finally available on the Sweet Shop website as well (although we still haven't gotten the chocolate covered marshmallows on quite yet.)
If there is anything you want to see, but you can't find, send us an email to soap@goatmilkstuff.com and we'll email you as soon as we have it listed!
With the new website, food items no longer ship together with soap or bath & body items. In fact, the food items and packaging (boxes and such) never even enter the soaproom, so there is no chance of any of the food picking up any soap smells.
So enjoy all your goat cheese and sweet stuff!

Easter and the April Newsletter
This year, Easter falls on April 1st. That means that we will be sending out the April newsletter on April 2nd this year. It also means that we're announcing our Easter soap now!
Daffodil is our traditional Easter soap. It is available while supplies last and is included in the March newsletter special (see details below).

Tours and Baby Goat Experiences
March is one of the best times to enjoy a Baby Goat Experience as there are almost 100 baby goats on the farm to enjoy and play with. Because kidding season is still underway and it can still be a bit crazy on the farm, advance notice is extremely helpful, so please schedule your Baby Goat Experience prior to arriving.
We also have farm tours available as well if you'd like to see and experience the whole farm.

Lunches on the Farm
As of today (March 1, 2018), we are now offering lunch on the farm. Available items will include individual pizzas made with goat cheese, super sandwiches such as pesto chicken with goat cheese, and yummy wraps.
Lunch will be available from 11-1, Monday through Saturday. The new website is not ready yet, but within the next two or three weeks, you will be able to place your lunch order online ahead of time and have it ready for pickup.
We had a lunch trial several weeks ago and were expecting about 30 people. Imagine our surprise when over 150 people showed up!! Fortunately we over-prepared as usual and had plenty of food, even if we were slower than we wanted to be at serving it.
We'd love to have you join us for lunch and appreciate your support and feedback as we launch this newest endeavor!

Coffees
In addition to offering lunch on the farm, we now have gourmet coffees (cappuccino, macchiato, latte, espresso, and americano) as well as iced gourmet coffees (iced cappuccino, iced latte, and iced mocha) available. And for those of you (like me) who don't enjoy coffee, we have chai tea and hot chocolate as well.
All of these options are currently available with goat milk. We're not quite equipped for cow milk or soy milk, but you can order your coffee black and add an alternate milk if you'd prefer.
Indigo has been fully trained on the new coffee machine and is super excited to start serving people. And there are muffins, cookies, gelato, and other goodies to enjoy with your coffee.

Werst Wedding Ever
Brett and Mason got some more of their wedding photos, and we just had to share them! We will post more on our Facebook Page when all of them have arrived, so follow us there if you want to see more of them.
It was fun to see our first official family photo with someone tall in them. LOL
I had to get one with my oldest daughter - it made me so happy that she wanted to wear my wedding dress!
This is the pose the children have been taking since they were very, very little:
And this is a close up of the flower arrangements that Emery made himself:
We love how much the little girls love Mason!
And of course, Brett loves him too.
Aren't they great? We love all of them, and one of them will be in the Farm Store as soon as we can decide which one we love the most.

Homestead Happenings
February on the farm was all about the birth of baby goats! As of the writing of this newsletter, there have been 158 baby goats born so far this year!!
We try to Facebook Live as many of the baby goat births as possible. We have a running list of baby goat births if you'd like to watch any that you've missed.
And if you'd like to purchase any baby goats, I will be adding them to the https://gmsgoats.com website as time allows. But if you don't see what you want on the website, just email me at soap@goatmilkstuff.com
There are 16 pregnant goats left to deliver in March, plus another 4 in May. We're actually not sure if 3 of them are still pregnant, so we've pulled blood to run pregnancy tests and will find out shortly.
February is an exhausting month with all the births, but we absolutely wouldn't have it any other way!!
