About the Farm
Background
Burnt Mill Farm has established itself as a family-run operation committed to sustainable and organic farming practices. Known for its high-quality free-range eggs and heirloom vegetable plants, the farm has expanded its offerings to include a variety of handmade goat milk soaps, lip balms, body butters, and other natural skincare products. Additionally, the farm produces and sells Finnsheep wool rovings, yarn, and fiber apparel, maintaining a year-round availability of these products.
Practices
The farm employs organic and sustainable farming methods, emphasizing the importance of being good stewards of their resources. Free-range chickens provide fresh eggs, while heirloom vegetable plants are cultivated without synthetic chemicals. Goat milk used in their handmade soaps is sourced directly from their own goats, ensuring a closed-loop system that prioritizes animal welfare and product integrity. The Finnsheep are raised with care, producing wool that is processed into various fiber products. The farm's commitment to natural ingredients extends to their skincare products, which are free from preservatives, petrolatum, and other synthetic chemicals.
The Rest
In addition to their farming activities, the farm offers a range of handmade cleaning products, encouraging a return to traditional, self-sufficient practices. These products include laundry soap, glass cleaner, and all-purpose cleaners, all made from simple, natural ingredients. The farm's philosophy is rooted in the belief that modern society has drifted away from the sustainable practices of previous generations, and they aim to inspire others to adopt more self-sufficient and environmentally friendly habits.
