Warning: Poison in your food?



A Beautiful Spring Day on the Farm!

Why should you be afraid?

Is this scene "Natural"?

The term “natural,” in many
instances, constitutes meaningless
marketing hype promoted by
corporate interests seeking to cash
in on the consumer’s desire for
food produced in a genuinely
healthy and sustainable manner

Please take time to visit:


This site has a wonderful report on "Natural" cereals that we are trustingly feeding our babies, our children and our families.  We are under the impression that they are all natural grains, when in fact, they contain GMOs.  Well, it is, GMO is Genetically Engineered food.  It is NOT in it's original form.

I am absolutely horrified to learn that "Kashi" with their "all natural grains" promotion is actually owned by "Kellog"!!
Why do GMOs stimulate allergies?????
If you genetically cross the genes from corn and tomatoes to get a stronger tomato, sounds good.  What if your child's ADHA is stimulated by corn allergies and you feed him a GMO tomato with a corn gene???  Do you think he only ate a tomato?

And we wonder what is going on!

I do hope you will take the time to study our food supply.  Our friends at Whitton Farm in AR strongly promote : 
Know your Farmer, Know your food!
I don't know if they came up with this, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!   

Why Occupy Wall Street?  How about Occupy Monsanto?   

Why am I worried about this?  I have a family, love my kids, my grandkids, I am a youth advocate and volunteer in 4-H.  I don't want your children poisoned, as I don't want to poison mine! I am continuously asked if our milk is Organic or if our Soap is Organic.  Our government is constantly changing the definitions of natural and organic.

Natural to me is the way God intended his perfect creations to be!

Everything is fried in the South, how about your skin?


Since the time that Coco Chanel declared tanning "in" in the 1920s, a suntan was seen as symbol of health, youth and status. However, recent studies on the relationship between the sun's ultraviolet rays (UVR) and our skin are changing the way we view that "healthy" glow.

The sun's UV rays damage the DNA of the skin's epidermal cells, triggering enzymes that race to repair the damage.  However, these enzymes do not always repair the DNA successfully, and all this unrepaired damage can lead to mutations that increase the risk of skin cancer.  Also, repeated unprotected sun exposure can cause photoaging – wrinkles, sagging skin, and spots associated with sun damage.  We all know that over tanning creates leathery looking skin if not treated properly.

Goat Milk products ARE  great for your skin!
Our goat milk soap is made with only pure, natural, skin-enriching ingredients! We use absolutely NO chemical additives, harsh ingredients, detergents or artificial preservatives.
·         Goats' milk, Our main ingredient for skin health.  Goat’s milk molecules are comparatively small, being composed of short-chain fatty acids with smaller-sized proteins. This makes goats' milk more accessible for absorption into the skin. Bringing with it the vitamins, minerals and botanicals to nourish skin.
·         Other Goat’s milk benefits: It also soothes the surface tension of the skin, allowing it to be moisturized and to absorb the healthy nutrients
·         Caprylic acid, another fatty acid  in goat milk, reduces alkalinity, giving our goat milk soap a pH level very close to that of the skin.
·         Vitamin A  in Goat’s milk slows down the effects of aging and prevents brown spots.
·         Zinc in Goat’s milk aids in the reconstruction of collagen fibers, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. Zinc also encourages moisture retention and assists in maintaining the skin’s elasticity.
·         Calcium in Goat’s milk tones and smooths the skin.
·         Alpha-hydroxyl acids in Goat’s milk plump the skin, reducing signs of aging.
·         Caprylic acid, another fatty acid  in goat milk, reduces alkalinity, giving our goat milk soap a pH level very close to that of the skin.
·         Antimicrobials/antifungals, the other fatty acids present in goat milk are natural protectors to your skin.
·         Selected Oils, our soaps use a synergistic blend of oils such as Palm Oil, by far the highest content of β-carotene of any known fruit or vegetable, 10 times higher than carrots for example. Olive Oil creates a protective barrier (not sunblock), other rich oils that deliver the benefits of the vitamins and minerals to the skin.
·         Herbal Extracts, We use a fantastic blend of skin nutritious herbs in our tan care product line.  All known for repairing damaged skin.
