I want to tell you a little story. I was deployed to Iraq for the equivalent of 30 months. During that time I showered when I could. I got so used to showering as a simple necessity and not out of enjoyment. Not to erase the stress of the day, not to wash off sweat from A Hard Day's Work. I came home and went back into my regular routine. People take advantage of the fact that they can shower when they please. For as long as they want. With whatever soap they want. And Iraq, we used whatever came in our care packages. A few months ago, I stayed at a little cottage at Grandview cottages. It was during that stay that I was introduced to your soap. Who knew that such a small gesture could change so much. Now as a civilian, I look forward to my shower. I look forward to washing away a hard day. I look forward to washing off all of my daily stresses. With your soap. I won't use anything else. I want you to know that your soap literally, changed my life. That may sound ridiculous, but anyone who has been where I have been would understand. So thank you.

Essential Oil Soaps
Essential Oils are extracts of the natural oils in plants. Essential Oils are therefore 100% natural, and the best ingredient to make many of our wonderfully scented soaps while still having a 100% natural bar. Below are listed some of our most popular essential oil bars.
Check out these additional scents:
Fragrance Oil Soaps
Fragrance Oils are made synthetically. This allows many more delicious scents than are available with Essential Oils, and they are also less expensive, though just as luxurious.
Even more scents:
Scent Free Soaps
These soaps have no added scents. Perfect for sensitive skin and noses, yet still has all the nutritional benefits and the smooth silky feel provided by the goat milk in the soap.
Additional Unscented Soaps:
Soaps by Category
Browse our soaps by category to help you find just what you're looking for. Categories include:
Seasonal Soaps
Throughout the year, we make special soaps to match the season. Fall scents include Apple Alamode and Pumpkin Pie, Christmas season soaps include Candy Cane and Gingerbread Cookies. We often have new seasonal scents every year.
Additional Seasonal Soaps:
Lard Free Soaps
If you have an issue with lard or an ingredient in any of our other soaps, consider one of these soaps made with a variety of ingredient sets, none of which contain lard. These soaps perform well and still contain our goat milk just like our other soaps, which give them their smooth silky feel that's great for your skin.
Even more varieties:
More Products
We have a number of additional products available. These include lip balms, skin lotions, laundry soap, and bargain soaps. We are in the process of making more products including new scents and liquid hand soap. Our farm also produces a number of products. Check out our products page on our farm web site for information. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, or our newsletter to hear when new products are available.
Baby Olive
Our Baby Olive products are specially formulated for those with sensitive skin. They are the perfect addition to any nursery, and an excellent baby shower gift, but also a great choice for anyone who wants an extra gentle product.
We use high quality organic olive oil and other gentle ingredients. Olive oil is a gentle moisturizing oil that will gently cleanse and soothe your skin.
Bill and Becky,
As someone who has always had dry and sensitive skin, I've found that living in parts of the world with harsh, and dry climates, has made me particularly excited about finding products that work. My recent discovery of Dixie Soap's "Baby Bum Balm" has been particularly exciting. In the past, Petroleum Jelly was always my go-to moisturizer, being inexpensive and easy to find. When I moved to China, however, and suddenly had trouble finding it, I decided to try to find an alternative. Baby Bum Balm lasts SO much longer, and as a result is very cost-effective for a luggage-weight-conscious traveler. It is more effective as well, so that I do not need to use it [as a lip and hand moisturizer] as frequently. When I was backpacking the local mountains, I realized that it seems the Chinese kids like it too, judging from their love of my skin ;-)

More Information
Health Emergency Affecting Our Business We are exeriencing a heath emergency in our family involving cancer with Becky. As a result, we currently have only a very limited selection of soaps avaiable. While we cannot predict the future, we are currently doing everything we can to get Becky back to full health. After spending approximately 5 months in Arizona, we returned home in March of 2024. Becky is in some ways better but will still need regular treatments. As a result, it will still be a while before we are back up to speed with all our regular products. Also, as a result of this, we will be phasing out all fragrance oil soaps indefinitely.
November 11, 2023: Becky has made some progress with certain cancer markers and overall doing OK. However, she has also had a severe reaction to one of the medications she has been taking, and needs to heal from that before much else can be done.
To keep track of Becky's progress in more detail and to help if you are able, we have set up the following:
You can read more about our crisis, see more current information and make a financial contribution, follow this link to our fundraising page on GiveSendGo Thoughts, prayers, and donations if you are able are greatly appreciated and can be received through this link.
We have set up a caring bridge web site, which we update with Becky's progress more frequently than the above link. The page is at
Caring Bridge.
We also have an amazon wish list, where you can help purchase needed items. The link is here: Amazon Wish List.
Again, thank you to all who have contributed financially, with prayers, with gifts, with meals, acts of service, and in any other way. It is much appreciated!
We have learned a lot about cancer during this time. Cancer is a tricky disease, and often fatal. However, if we have learned nothing else, we have learned that there is hope. There are in fact many things that can be done to improve your general good health, which can positively affect those with cancer as well. Becky witnessed many people in poor shape come to the clinic where she was and over a period of several weeks of treatment have vastly improved health. While we can't claim any particular treatment provides a full cure, our direct observation is that the right combination of treatments can make a big difference for many people.

Web Site Framework
Multiple Pages (experimental)
Our web site is built with HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript. Bill built the framework code developing several features along the way. This framework is available for use by others to build their own web sites.
Features of this web site include:
-A multi-level menu bar that works on both tablet and desktop/laptop computers
-Use of javascript to generate templates for repeating data
-A javascript array used as a database containing "normalized" data.
-Taking the concept of using css to separate style information and applying it to javascript code and web page data.
-code that will work for multiple web sites
-A modal pop-up box that behaves itself nicely, easily invoked and easily dismissed
-A picture gallery page with thumbnails built on some of the above concepts
-Displaying sections of a web page that would otherwise be separate files on the server but are instead all contained in one file, reducing the number of files on your server
-Displaying each section one at a time so they're not all loaded into memory at the same time but instead generated on the fly, saving space on the end user's system and making the web site faster.
-Implimentation of code that "detects" the backbutton and responds to it appropriately in places where the backbutton wouldn't otherwise work
-A 404 error page not found page that identifies links that were once valid but are no longer valid, providing the end user with a message that is different for each of any number of possible unique wrong URL's
-A 404 error page not found page that also looks like a regular page except for its unique error reporting content, so users can access the menu bar to navigate to a valid page, as opposed to staring at a cryptic text page or some browser generated message
-A popup menu that provides an alternative to the < select > html tag.
-responsive design
-Features such as marking an item low or out of stock, adding variations, setting a featured item,
-Lots of room for flexibility
-behind the scenes code for generating printed labels for your products
-Works well with the Dansie Shopping Cart
This framework is available for sale. I will send you all the base files to make it work, along with a file with instructions on how to set everything up. I will also include a 1 year service plan to fix anything that doesn't work as advertised. I can also provide additional support and add requested features for an additional pre-arranged fee.
This framework does not do certain things. They include but are not limited to:
It does not provide a shopping cart, however I have designed it to work with the dansie shopping cart.
It does not provide user/customer login. I am actually looking to add this feature but am not sure how. If you know, please contact us.
I do not make any other warranties for fitness for a particular purpose or any other guarantees.
Coronavirus Covid-19 Note: Be sure to check with each vendor to verify that they are open, how they are operating, hours, and any other changes.
