History

Cactus Rose Soaps was started as a way to help make Cactus Rose Farm self supporting.  We moved  to acreage in June 1999 because I wanted to have horses.  LaMancha Dairy Goats followed the horses.  I soon learned to milk.  We found that we could only drink so much milk and eat only so much cheese.  I learned how to make soap.  The first batches were sent to people we know with questionaires.  Based on the answers, the formula was tweaked until the current formula was developed in 2004  At the same time, I also became a high school science teacher.  Lotion was added to the product mix in 2007
