On a tiny Island on the East Coast of Canada where the gentle rolling hills meet the sea is The Great Canadian Soap Co., where we handcraft the best of goat's milk soaps. We specialize in goat milk soap for all skin types, made right on the farm with fresh goat's milk from our own goats and with natural oils and butters.
Our love of all things natural goes back a long way, starting with generations of family raised on farms. Following tradition and inclination, we acquired our herd of dairy goats in 2000, and with more milk than our family could drink we started experimenting with things like soap making. Our bed and breakfast was running at the time and we would do old-time activities with the guests, like milking the goats, playing old-fashioned games, and...making soap. After one such activity, we were delighted to have the guests ask to purchase the soap we had made. We were even more delighted the next year when returning guests asked for it again. So we began making a supply to sell, based on customer requests and feedback. People found a positive effect from our soaps on skin conditions like dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. We loved the idea that we could develop products that would help people to live comfortably in their skin, and began in earnest researching natural ingredients, aromatherapy, and herbology. Em became an official soap maker and an accredited member of the Soap Maker's Guild.
In 2003 we opened our soap shop in a garden shed. Customers would purchase our soap and then return a few days later with stories of how the soap had helped them! The next year we renovated part of a barn for the soap shop; today the shop occupies that whole space and we have had to enlarge our parking area. We opened our online store, created our blog and began bringing you newsletters on a monthly basis. We have built a wonderful team of employees that all share the same vision, and we welcome volunteers from around the world to come stay and help us on the farm with the goats, the gardens and the shop.
And through it all we have stayed true to our commitment to providing the natural products that our customers ask for. We encourage you all to contact us with your thoughts and issues regarding our products and service, and we certainly appreciate the support and compliments, too! Thank you to all our customers, from those who have been with us from the beginning to those who have just joined our family.If you find yourself here on PEI, come visit us at our retail store in Brackley Beach!
