CAPRICOPIA is the farm behind Smudge Goat Milk Soap, Puck & Dougal Wool and Tartan Dreaming handwoven Wool Products.
CAPRI means goat, COPIA means lots. We are sharing our seasonal abundance with small batches of goats milk soaps and beeswax balms.
We use fresh milk from our own goats and beeswax from our own bees. Natural, chemical free, simple ingredients.
This is a real, working farm, and all income goes into feeding & caring for our animals.
When my first real dairy goat Smudge began producing 4 litres of milk a day, I began making soap and selling it at local markets in 2014. The obviously handmade, natural, soap is made with my own fresh goat’s milk, coconut oil and local olive oil.  With NO palm oil, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, harsh detergents, parabens or fragrance, the soap is popular for delicate and sensitive skin.
I have added a liquid goat’s milk soap to the range. This is made from equal parts of goat’s milk, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and coconut oil saponified with lye then dissolved into filtered rainwater. This natural, moisturising, multi-use wash can be used for hands, hair and body (and even the dishes). The natural sugars in the milk give a honey/caramel scent to the soap.
Sheep and bees have also been added to the farm and the beeswax is used for candles and a range of natural skincare and herbal balms.
Animal welfare is at the heart of the homestead with natural fodder systems for the goats, sheep and bees.
We have planted over 10,000 trees and shrubs on the property, providing perennial food for all the animals.
In 2014 I also joined the local spinning and weaving group and got a couple of Angora goats! My handwoven scarves and shawls are inspired by the Australian landscapes and influenced by the tartans of my Scottish homeland.
I am committed to keeping old skills alive, inspiring people to be self-sufficient. I run workshops regularly at Origins Market where you can learn how to make cheese, beeswax candles and spin yarn in the same way it was done hundreds of years ago.
