About Goats in a Coat

My name is Stephanie and I created Goats In A Coat in 2012 while I was working full time in Manhattan and raising three kids at home in the Hudson Valley. My mother has sworn by goat milk soap for a long time. It had become difficult for her to find, and she could notice a difference in the softness of her skin, so I began searching for her. I visited many craft fairs and on the rare occasion that I found goat milk soap, it never seemed to live up to her expectations. I discovered this was due to inferior ingredients, and decided to fix this by learning to make a soap that was good enough for my mom. I did months of experimenting and research to combine the perfect ingredients to craft a soap that is cleansing and soft and stood up to my mother’s rigorous standards. The resulting soap was a resounding success. I went from making the soap just for family and friends to making enough to sell in small quantities upon request. I was making soap with any free time I had at this point and started to branch out. If I could provide quality that was hard to find in soaps, why not lotions too? I've since quit my job and introduced several additional products including candles, shower steamers, bath bombs, lip balms, scrubs, and beard oils. My small venture has grown into a blossoming business. I am able to supply multiple private label and wholesale accounts. Read their story
