After the 2008 economy, Derek Burseth left racing and bought a small farm near Woodstock, IL. The brothers made their first batch of soap in 2012 with goat milk from their farm. Taking an old family recipe and experimenting with it, they created the basic recipe that all of Burseth Farm Goat Milk soaps are made with today. The goat milk soap was first used by our family and then friends who told us "this is the best soap I have ever used." Most of our customers are fed up with store bought soaps that contain harsh detergents while our soaps are moisturizing, gentle, great senses and all natural. People who suffer from dry, sensitive skin love our soap. Everyone else loves it also. That is why we say, "We Make It, You;ll Love it. " The first Burseth Goat Milk soaps were a smash from the start.
All of our products are made in our soap room on our farm,

Love the way our goat milk soap cleans your skin? So now that you have bought Goat Milk Soap , Goat Milk Lotion, and have switched over to healthy, all natural, and nourishing skin products, what other measures can you take to keep your skin and body healthy? Well let's start with using this product in your washing machine. Many people have complaints of itchy skin and the first thought is that your skin is dry and you need lotion; or perhaps you are allergic to your soap or body wash. However, if you are experiencing an itching sensation all over your body, not just your hands, then the problem may be your laundry detergent! The detergent you used to wash your clothes gets in the fabric and can rub off the clothing onto your skin. You would think this wouldn't really affect your skin, but it could be the cause of your skin irritations! If your skin is extra sensitive to certain ingredients, it doesn't take much to irritate it. Don't worry our homemade laundry soap is natural and kind to your skin. It will leave your clothes feeling and smelling fresh!
Use between 1TBSP (heaping) and 3TBSP per load - depending on size and dirtiness. Pre treat stain.
Tips:
1.Add a 1 TBSP white vinegar to your load if extra smelly.
2. Be careful not to use too much soap, especially with front-loaders,since they use less water. You want to make sure you don't add too much detergent, as it will not be able to dissolve completely. This will make your clothes look dingy (from having soap on them still!). :-) One would think the opposite: that they are dingy because there wasn't enough soap, but that's not true.

Burseth Farm was recently asked to display military memorabilia in their store window on the Woodstock Square. We was more than willing. Our exhibit, at is one of about a dozen displays that were arranged in storefront windows in honor of the approaching 150th Memorial Day holiday May 30.
Our display includes our Grandfather's uniforms and pictures. Donald Noah who has passed served in WWII with the Army Air Corp as a pilot and retired from the Air Force reserves as a Major. Gordon Burseth was a paratrooper during WWII. We also have Wesley Noah's World War WWI papers and two other uniforms from citizens of Woodstock. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to your country. We have ancestors that go back to the Revolutionary War.
Woodstock VFW Post 5040 will host a Memorial Day ceremony and parade in Woodstock to honor the men and women who have died in military service for the United States. The post will hold a ceremony in the bandstand located in the center of the Woodstock Square starting at 10 a.m. Monday, May 25. The parade is expected to start at 11 a.m VFW's Color Guard will conduct a 21-gun salute during the ceremony to honor fallen soldiers. Members of the Illinois Army National Guard Company D Infantry 1/178th based in Woodstock will raise the flag. The parade will start at about 11 a.m. on Calhoun Street and will travel around the Square and depart heading west on Jackson Street.
