Created exclusively for The Apple Barn Orchard and Winery: Handcrafted Wine Soap
Once in a while a soap project is genuinely intriguing. Take the project for The Apple Barn Orchard & Winery in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, for instance. Judy and Steve Jacobson own and operate the farm on land that has been in the Jacobson family since 1848, and they raise strawberries, apples, & pumpkins that you can pick when in season. They also grow mint that is distilled into beautiful essential oil. They make apple cider and even apple cider donuts! Some of that fruit is used to make some pretty special fruit wines, and some of those fruit wines are used to make some pretty special soaps. I'm always ready for a great family history story, and the Apple Barn's story certainly interested me. Even the wines have been a family tradition since 1848!
Honey Crisp Apple Harvest Soap has a sparkling mint scent, and is dotted with peppermint leaves. Of course the mint essential oil is a product of Apple Barn, and the soap is really made with the apple wine.
See those luscious berries? Imagine Wild Blackberry Wine with mint - a beautiful soap that makes fluffy bubbles and wakes you with its bright scent. Blackberry wine is an ingredient in the soap, and the mint oil is also a product of the Apple Barn.
This soap is reminiscent of autumn and home and warmth and family. Made with organically grown pumpkin and of course with the Pumpkin Harvest wine, it has a restful cinnamon - clove scent.
When we create custom soaps, we don't sell them - so you'll have to visit The Apple Barn Orchard for these unique gifts. And while you're there (online or in person), consider trying the wines too!
