Visit
A Day in the Life at Wild Heaven Farm
We are proud to offer our customers and local residents the unique opportunity to experience life on working family farm. Our “Day in the life” program is open to all adults and children age seven and up interested in learning about what goes into making Chesterfield County's only REAL goat milk soap.
The farm has been open for field trips for a number of years, but this program will be different. Instead of a large group, it will be one-on-one (or a small group of up to four people). It will be more like an apprenticeship than a regular visit to the farm.
Visits will be scheduled in 3 to 4 hour blocks, either morning or afternoon, to coincide with milking time. For morning apprentices, you will start by learning how to hand milk our lovely dairy goats. Then it's inside for soap making. We'll take visitors through the process from start to finish, measuring, mixing, pouring, trimming and wrapping soaps. Evening apprentices will do the same thing, but in reverse order.
And the best part? For the first two weeks (until June 30th), this program is completely free of charge. We expect space to fill up quickly, so don't hesitate to call us at 804-275-4361 or e-mail us at wildheavenfarm@yahoo.com to schedule your visit.
