Our County Health Sanitarian and our County Health Food Inspector came by the building this week. They advised that the construction of the building looks great! They gave a few suggestions which is great to have during construction.
The water company is coming to the building this week to look at everything and give us their input.
The building construction is coming along and I can't wait until it is all complete. Our milk inspector has approved everything so we have a green check mark so far for all work completed from all inspectors involved.
See you at the next market.
Hammond Farm is a State Certified Goat Milk Dairy located in New Caney Texas. We produce Artisan Cheese, Goat Milk Soaps and Lotions. We are located at several Houston area farmers markets.

Goat Milk Soap
Many people ask us what is different about Goat Milk Soap and Lotion.
Goat milk is known for having beneficial properties to soothe the skin. It is higher in Iron, Riboflavin, Calcium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A and B than cow's milk. Goats milk also contains Vitamin B1/thiamin, Vitamin C and D. When bathing with goat milk soap you are adding all these vitamins to your skin as you bathe.
The PH of goat milk is the closest to the PH of human skin making the soap really mild.
Many people find goat milk soap very soothing to the skin.

We had a nice day at the market on saturday, glad I had my jacket. The cool weather is a welcome site compared to the August heat. The goats are enjoying the cooler weather as well.
Our goat milk lotion was a hit as well as our Texas Beeswax Lipbalms.
Please say your prayers for our daughter as she leaves for Navy boot camp in two weeks. We are going to miss her very much. She graduates in December where we will be spending time at her graduation with tears in our eyes.
