Join our resident Kitchen Witch, Madeline, for a morning of hands-on educational instruction on how to make Goat Milk & Olive Oil Soap using regeneratively farmed, organic ingredients from Mama Tree. Participants will start with a meet & greet with our milk-giving goats and have a chance to try milking them! The group will then explore the orchards where our goats graze and our premium olive oil is grown. We will observe an educational demonstration of our soap making process and break out into groups for hands-on learning. All participants will leave with a bar of Mama Tree Goat Milk & Olive Oil Soap as well as the knowledge of how to make soap on their own.
When: Saturday, November 9th from 8am - 11am
Where: Mama Tree is located in Upper Ojai, less than a 15-minute drive from downtown Ojai. Exact address and driving directions will be sent to you upon purchase and registration. Carpooling is encouraged to reduce traffic and wear and tear on the property.
Who: This is an 18+ adults-only workshop due to the risk of using the caustic ingredient, lye. To keep this an intimate and hands-on learning experience, we are limiting this workshop to 12 participants.
What should I wear and bring: Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Close-toed shoes and long pants are strongly encouraged. Do bring any other items you may need for weather: i.e. sunhat, layers, water bottle, snacks, etc. If you happen to have gloves or protective goggles (for lye handling), please bring them! Protective gear will be provided.
