The QP Goat Soap Story
Read below how Quinn discovered his love for goats, his passion for
creating these amazing products, and how it's now a family business!
A Boy's Love For His Goats
Quinn loves his goats, and has since the day he got them. They come when he calls, miss him when he is gone, and follow him like pets--unless the neighbor has some really nice grass on the other side of the fence, of course. We love Quinn, and like the goats a lot, but we believe that farm animals should benefit the farm. When we bought Quinn his first goats for his 9th birthday, it was always understood that he would milk them and sell whatever products he made in order to cover some of their costs. We didn’t make soap right away because the milk from these little goats is so sweet and delicious. Lots of friends asked us to make some, but It seemed to us that it would be a waste to put this quality food into soap. When our little gals are in milk, we still make cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and, of course, drink the sweet. creamy, farm raised goodness.....however....
It Became A Family Venture
Often....God leads us where we don’t think we need to go. A doe produced some early milk that simply didn’t taste good, so soap is what we made from it. The reception we got for our soap was fantastic. We personally were amazed at just how much better our hand made G.O.A.T soap was, than the commercial bars we had typically used. We could immediately tell the difference with goat milk soap, and we know you will too! Quinn has grown now, so we have "upscaled" to a larger milk goat, the Saanen, and our little herd has expanded in number and production. We can guarantee your soap contains our own raw goat milk, milked by hand every day.
Quinn Tells The Story Best
Here is Quinn to tell his story about how our company began and then grew. You'll see how he started and then grew through this family business journey. Also read below a letter from Quinn!
My name is Quinn Pittman I make the best goat milk soap you’ll find anywhere! When I was 6-years-old I told my parents I wanted some goats for my birthday so that I could milk the goats and make cheese. My parents thought this was something that would eventually pass and that I would want some video games or something else that most kids my age would want for a birthday present. But I never changed my mind. I wanted goats! We live in a rural part of Florida and have chickens, ducks, quails, and rabbits, but I just knew I wanted goats. It took a couple of years to convince them, but eventually I did. On my 9th birthday my parents gave me two Nigerian Dwarf goats, which are said to have sweet and creamy milk. They’re also small enough for a 9-year-old boy to handle. And handle them I did! With help from my mom, I learned to care for, breed, and milk the goats. I started off by making cheese and today I am a maker of goat milk cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and soap. I now have a large enough herd that I can make goat milk soap for you! With help from my dad, we also make wooden soap dishes from the trees that have fallen from storms on our land – magnolia, live oak, scrub oak, hickory, and walnut. Friends tell me they love the soap I make, and I can’t wait to hear from you! Please leave a review after you try the Best Goat Milk Soap you’ll find anywhere.
