Vendor of the Week Freedom Farms
Our journey began in our own kitchen several years ago as a safer, more natural and less expensive alternative to skin care for our family (and an overstock of fresh goat's milk from our own goats.) All of our cold process soap recipes are made in small 14 pound batches using only the finest vegetable and nut oils available, and adding herbs, essential oils and fragrance oils. 
We take our time and carefully cure each batch for a minimum of 4 weeks before we sell it. Curing is necessary to create a mild soap and to harden the bar so it will last longer for you.
We have been making soap for over 10 years. A lot of time, research and fun has gone into our process because we care!
Freedom Farms has a full line of goat milk soaps, goat milk creams, Herbal Salves and bath salts, laundry soap and dish washer soap, all natural. Also, Farm fresh free range eggs from their own pastured flock.

If you are looking for healthy, fresh food, grown locally there are more options than ever before. The fruits and vegetables you buy at the farmers market are the freshest and tastiest available. Fruits are allowed to ripen fully in the field and are brought directly to you-no long-distance shipping, no gassing to simulate the ripening process, no sitting for weeks in storage. This food is as real as it gets-fresh from the farm.
The Downtown Hickory Farmers Market is located in beautiful downtown Hickory under the Sails on the Square.
