    • We offer you a range of donkey milk soaps made on our farm.

      Our soaps are made by cold saponification with a minimum of 20% donkey milk and natural ingredients from organic farming.

      Cold saponification is an artisanal method based on a chemical reaction obtained by mixing fatty substances (such as vegetable oils and butters) with a strong base (soda for making solid soap). It allows the production of superfatted soaps rich in vegetable glycerin, giving soaps with moisturizing, nourishing and softening properties.

    Superb visit! The staff is really great! I didn't remember the young woman's first name but thank you! Superb farm. Thank you also for all the explanation during the milking. It was great! I will come back if I am in the area and advise you. Thanks again 😀

    We did the 2-hour workshop with 1 hour of time with the donkeys and another 1 hour feeding the chickens and other farm animals, a passionate and exciting couple! Thank you for this visit and the quality of your products (fan of your face cream for many months!)
