Soap the old-fashioned way. nostalgia included.
FrontYard Farm soap is cold-processed and cured for at least 4 weeks.
We only allow organic base oils or oils derived from
animals grazing out in the open on local, Virginia farms. Our lard draws its roots
from pigs shaded under a canopy of trees, scrounging the
forest floor for acorns, roots, and any other goodies they can find.
Our tallow comes from cows raised in the open sunshine on
verdant perennial pastures. Our soaps will leave you feeling clean
on the outside and good on the inside
knowing that you're doing your part to support local, diversified farms.
Great ingredients get you so far, but soap still needs to smell good.
Essential oils--organic whenever possible--add aroma.
Our handmade, small-batch process results in a
creatively unique batch that meets our quality standards.
Rest assured knowing that we test every recipe first. If it's not
good enough for us, we don't think it's good enough for you.

What does each ingredient do?
So glad you asked!
- Olive oil, lard, tallow - these are our base oils and form the bulk of our bars. Each oil has its own unique properties, giving rise to our Grove, Forest, and Pasture bars.
- Coconut oil - lather enhancing-oil
- Castor oil - another lather booster
- Essential oil - natural fragrance additive
- Oatmeal - finely ground oatmeal helps the bars lather quickly, while also scrubbing your skin
- Coffee grounds - finely ground coffee beans for a more exfoliating bar
- Water - for mixing with the sodium hydroxide or lye
- Sodium hydroxide - also known as lye, it reacts with the oils to create soap and glycerin, a natural moisturizer. We use food grade only.
