About Us

Hello!

We are the Wiles!  I (Christina) along with my husband Gabe, and daughters, Shiloh & Phi, are the family behind The Honest Goat.  We are a small family business making goat milk soap in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.  We are passionate about God, our family, our planet, and our goat milk soap!.

Meet Your Soap Makers

  • Christina Wiles

    Hi! I’m Christina. Your resident goat milk soap maker.  When I’m not making goat milk soap I am busy raising two little ladies that keep me very busy.  I enjoy being outdoors, vacationing with my family, horseback riding, and all things Ohio State (we are both Ohioans born and raised).  I have an Associate’s degree in Horse Science and hope to end up back in a stable when the kids are older.  If you had told me 10 years ago that I’d be making goat milk soap I’d have looked at you like you were crazy.  But here I am! And loving it!\

The Honest Goat Story…

So how did The Honest Goat come about?  When we moved back to Virginia in 2019 I realized that I needed a creative outlet and a way to make some extra money without giving up being able to stay home with my kids.  Gabe had previously made soap and suggested I give it a go.  I had always heard a lot of good things about the benefits of using goat milk in soaps and other skin products so I purchased a quart of goat milk, bought some oils from the grocery store, and made my very first batch of unscented goat milk soap.  I was so pleased with the soap and how well it did on our skin, I knew I wanted every bar to have goat milk in it.  That first batch has now escalated and turned into a full blown small business!

Going forward, I knew I wanted The Honest Goat to reflect our love of sustainability (environmentally and economically) and clean living.  It’s important to us that we provide you with the best goat milk soap possible while also staying true to our values. We source our goat milk from Fawn Crossing farm, a local sustainable farm that raises a Nubian dairy goat herd.   The lard in our soap is rendered right here in our home from pigs that Gabe raises on pasture at the farm he works for.  Our goat milk soaps are free from any plastic wrapping and plastic shipping supplies.  We use only essential oils and phthalate free fragrance oils and clearly label them so you can choose what’s best for your family.

We try our best to provide you with the best goat milk soap on the market and are always looking for ways to improve!

Thanks for choosing us!

  • I love using goat milk soap but had run out. I searched for a Virginia company that makes it and found The Honest Goat. I took a chance and ordered three bars. I've only used the vanilla one so far but it smells good and makes my skin feel silky smooth! I would definitely recommend them.
