Goat Milk and Homemade Body Products!

We not talking goat milk soaps or lotions! We are talking simple homemade products that take minutes in your kitchen.  You don’t need to buy those expensive scrubs, soaks, or masks. Make products that are specific to your skin type.

Come join us this Sunday April 15th, @1PM OSU Extension Building in Central Point, Oregon. This program will be after our general business meeting. If you have fresh goat milk bring a pint and if you have 3 or 4 small jars with lids please bring those for the products you will be making. Not to worry if you don’t have jars I will have some to-go containers.
