Goat Milk Soap

There’s an old saying ‘necessity is the mother of invention.’ For Angola, Indiana resident, Sheryl Clifton, who began making goat milk soap almost 20 years ago, it was exactly what was needed to help treat her baby’s eczema. “If you’ve never tried it before, you’re in for a treat. It feels just like you are washing with lotion. Goat milk gently cleans, rejuvenates and softens your skin,” she said. Various scents of Bryrpatch lotions and soap include raspberry, pumpkin spice and lavender mint. In addition to goat milk soap and lotion, Clifton sells essential oil soaps, both scented and unscented. Top products at the farmers market and online are her insect repellent lotion “Bug Off” as well as Itchy Sticks, which help with poison ivy and bug bites. Sheryl has been a part of the market for about a dozen years. “I love seeing the familiar faces year after year and meeting new people from all over,” she said.
