The Beginning

Remember February 2014? I wrote a blog post about my experience of applying for a federal grant. Flash forward to August 2014: We were awarded the grant.

Now go forward to December 2014: All the paperwork was signed and we received the go-ahead to start spending the money. So, in January of 2015, a year after I submitted the grant, we began our project with Pulp + Wire, the PR and branding firm under the guidance of Taja Dockendorff, to redesign our goat’s milk soap and body care packaging, redesign the website and undergo a complete re-branding for the “bath” line coming from our farm. The goal was to grow up from a farmer’s market product to a product that would stand out and successfully compete on a retail shelf.

Speed forward at an exhilarating pace to September 2015 and here we are!
