From Kitchen to Soap Shop – Someday!
By Moore family | June 9, 2009
The past months have been quite busy for my family and I, as the work of building our new home here in Maine continues full speed ahead. The lengthening spring and summer days, combined with great working weather, aid in allowing much progress to be made on the house. I always enjoy the outdoor work when I have opportunity to help with the construction…and I have also thoroughly enjoyed the interior house-planning aspect of the project! One of my special delights is planning a new soapmaking room as part of the new house.
In the beginnings of Garland Goat Soap of Maine, I handcrafted all our soap right in our kitchen, one batch at a time. After many hours of soapmaking in the kitchen, producing thousands of bars of soap, I had developed as system that was as efficient and streamlined as possible under the circumstances. More recently, I have set up a separate soapmaking room in the spare area of the basement. This has been a valuable upgrade, allowing much more efficient production of my soap. It’s also given me the opportunity to “test run” the setup and based on those observations, plan for the new soapmaking room. 
It’s not the goal of Garland Goat Soap to become a mass manufacture of soap; we will always carefully handcraft our soap in small batches with all-natural goodness. However, the new soap room will provide an easier way for me to efficiently produce soap, giving me more time to work on new types of soap and all-natural goat milk skin care items! Of course, no matter how hard we work, we can’t build our new house…and the new soap room…instantaneously, so I look forward to it in the future. In the meantime, I am content to keep on working in my little soap room, carefully handcrafting soap one bar at a time!
