A Year in the Country 12 bar gift set
When we first started making our BEEKMAN 1802 Original Goat Milk Soap, the idea was to create a “Soap for Sensitive People”. Made with our pure goat milk, the soaps contained no scented oils. But it wasn’t long (about two weeks, really) before people started asking for scented Beekman 1802 soaps. What to do?
We knew that we didn’t want to use any synthetic fragrances, and we didn’t just want to use the common essential oils. Our company is devoted to seasonal living, and we have so many people who, through our website, share the seasons at The Beekman Farm right along with us. We thought, “Why shouldn’t the soaps provide that same experience?”
It took us an entire year, but we’ve documented what was in bloom or in use on the farm during each of the 12 months and custom-blended pure essential oils to recreate each one.
We call this 12 bar gift set “A Year in the Country“. Who wouldn’t want to receive that?

I think anyone would love a gift like this. Lovely presentation of the soaps!
Found you by accident. The farm is perfection in a world gone mad. Love it!
Thanks so much for finding us, Beatrice. We hope you will come back and “visit” often
ok…two guys move to a farm, milk goats, make cheese and one of them is named Brent? Same thing happened to me. In Italy, 20 years milking goats,cheesing, my name is Brent. Uncanny. Great site
Italy, eh? I’m thinking we may need to do a farm swap at some point
Hello everybody
Found the show by accident. Just love it.
Love Polka Spot. We have a alpaca farm in
Port Orange, Fla. We have 4 guard lamas also.
Watching the activity at the farm, is like watching our farm also. Wish your shows were longer.
I think your show is great! It’s a bright spot in my week. Looking forward to trying the Blaak goat cheese. I’m sure it will be ‘perfect’, Brent. Tell Farmer John I hope the goats are doing well!
Thanks, Amy (and the goats say “thanks” , too)
Hi, Fran
Polkie is the true star of the show
I thought I read that you created the soap for a x mas gift for Martha and the soap had to be fragrance free bc she “hated” scent?
BTW loving the show and the books, so fun.
Hi,
We did indeed first start by making a scent free soap which Martha loved
You guys are awesome! Saw your show for the first time over the weekend. Love the farm! Brent don’t push hubby so much
do your thing. Who cares if you want to wash the pigs down! Peace,love and much success to you both in everything you do.
These are the perfect gifts to give EVERYONE! You guys go to so much trouble for your customers to provide the best and purest soaps. These are a great deal, and they are QUALITY soaps, and now we won’t have to wrack our brains trying to come up with gift ideas!! Christmas and birthdays are going to be a whole lot easier!
hi dr. brent,
do you forsee adding herbal teas, infusions, etc. to your line of products? another question i have is: what do you do with the goat whey? do you also incorporate it into your products? i love your show, & admire the way you & josh complement each other. i’m a beek addict.
ellen in greensboro nc
the whey is used by several local farms to spread over their fields
Hi, Brent! LOVE your(and Josh’s!) show.
just thought i would share my story of your ‘year in the country soaps’-
i work for anthropologie, and discovered your soaps last year in our store. i really loved them, though i just couldn’t bring my self to indulge in such an extravagance. i have three daughters(19, 21, 22)who share my same appreciation and attraction to lovely wonderful things!!
for christmas last year, i finally purchased the set, and we evoked a time-honored tradition of sharing. Each person took a turn picking one of the soaps until we each had 3!!! it was so very fun and meaningful….and the sentiment continues every time i indulge in using my lovely soap!!!
now, watching your show, adds even another layer of pleasure to the whole experience!
many well wishes of happiness and success to you and Josh.

Thanks for your story. We love working with Anthropologie. Such a great store. The two “Wendy’s” are even involved in our heirloom vegetable auction this fall. Very supportive
Love you’re show. I look forward to it everyweek. I do real estate for a living, but crafts, like woodworking, soap making, painting, quilting, etc. Are my true passion. Watching you’r show reminded me of what it is to have a true passion for what you do in life, instead of just having a job. Refreshing to have a reality show that isn’t full of people being rude idiots. The worlds a rough place and this just reaffirms that there are decent hard working people out there who just want to enjoy life and make other peoples life better also. GREAT SHOW!
