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

      Our soaps are made using the cold process method with a minimum of 20% donkey milk and natural ingredients from organic farming.

      Cold process soap making is a traditional method based on a chemical reaction achieved by mixing fats (such as vegetable oils and butters) with a strong base (lye for making solid soap). It produces superfatted soaps rich in vegetable glycerin, resulting in soaps with moisturizing, nourishing, and softening properties.

    A visit with my 3-year-old daughter and my aunt. We had a wonderful time among the donkeys, with an informative tour led by the owner – it was fantastic! My daughter got to brush the donkeys, feed the chickens, pet the pig, and watch a donkey being milked. She also got to meet the owners' friendly dogs. She was absolutely captivated. We'll definitely be back for our next vacation. A nice bonus was the shop with its great products – we had to resist buying everything! Thank you for this lovely experience.
