I went for a walk this morning and the air was chilly, the sun was shining, and the leaves were turning colors and falling. Fall has definitely arrived in Indiana. We love this time of year and take advantage of the weather to take lots of hikes and roast lots of s’mores. I hope this newsletter finds all of you having enjoyed a wonderful summer and looking forward to Fall and all the new stuff happening at Goat Milk Stuff.
Goat Milk Fudge
Now that the weather has cooled, our goat milk fudge is available again in chocolate and peanut butter. We know that we’ve been missing it and hope you have too
New Goat Milk Soaps
We have two new super soaps for you this month. The first is an essential oil soap that we’re intending to add to our permanent line assuming everyone loves it as much as we do. We’re calling it Harvest and it smells of orange and spice. The second is our seasonal pumpkin soap that smells yummy as a pumpkin pie.
Bath Bombs
Due to the heat and humidity of summer, we had to discontinue our bath bombs. The great news is that the weather has cooled off enough that we are back to making them. We’re doing our best to get our inventory built up, but please be patient with us as this takes some time. The website will be updated as we continue to make more.
Goat Milk Stuff DVDs
We’ve put together a DVD that contains ten of our favorite Goat Milk Stuff YouTube videos. Now you can sit your children down and play the video without having to use up any bandwidth. It runs over half an hour, so you might even have time to take a shower while they watch!
Rubber Ducks
We need to clear out the rubber ducks to create room for some of the new stuff we want to offer. They are marked down to 25 cents til they’re all gone!
Shipping
To help folks placing small orders, we made a slight change to our shipping policy. Orders up to (and including) the size of 1 bar of soap will now ship first class mail in a bubble envelope. This will cost $3.50, regardless of where you live. We hope this will make it easier for people wanting to try our stuff for the first time or forgot to order something. Please be aware that if you order just a sugar scrub or bath bomb, it will mail out in the bubble envelope and probably arrive crushed. We will put it in a Ziploc bag for you, and you can still use it since you crush them anyway to use.
Dairy Goats
We (and the goats) have been very busy with breeding season here on the farm. We’re very excited about some of the pairings and are looking forward to lots and lots of kids in February and March. If anybody would like to reserve a kid for next year, just let us know!
Homestead Happenings
We’re getting ready for the busy holiday season here at Goat Milk Stuff. We make sure that we get plenty of family and play time to balance out the workload. The other day, we got most of our work done and decided to play “hooky” for the rest of the day. We packed up the kids, stopped off at JayC to buy charcoal and s’mores supplies and headed to our local State Park. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time.
You can watch a video of the hike (and see who enjoyed it the most):
Newsletter Special
Since cold and flu season is coming up, this month’s special is $5 off any of our Cold Relief products – Kool Koala soap, lotions, bath bombs, or bath fizzies. Here is the code list:
“KKcold” – Kool Koala goat milk soap
“lotioncold” – Cold Relief Lotion Sticks or tub
“fizzycold” – Cold Relief bath bombs or fizzies
You may only use one code once and it requires a minimum purchase of $20. Please follow these steps:
1. If you are a new customer, register by clicking on the "Register / Login" link at the top of the website.
2. If you are an existing customer, log in to your account by clicking "Register / Login" at the top of the website. (Note: If it says "My Account" then you are already logged in.)
3. Go shopping and make sure you add a cold relief product to your shopping cart.
4. If your subtotal is $20 or greater, go to the shopping cart page, and scroll to the bottom of the page. Under where it says "Clear Cart" "Update" and "Checkout" in orange ovals, it will say "Redeem a Coupon Code". In this box enter just one code - "KKcold" or “lotioncold” or "fizzycold" (do not use quotation marks) depending on which special you are choosing. You can only use one code.
5. Your coupon expires midnight October 31st. It will not work after that date.
Troubleshooting:
If it does not say "Redeem a Coupon Code" then you are not registered and logged in. If it says "coupon invalid" then you did not add a limited edition bar or solid lotion, your subtotal is not $20 or greater, or you've already used the coupon code.
We thank you so much for all of your support of our family and our business. We are so pleased to be able to make stuff that you enjoy and that helps your skin!
