The new Eight Acres website is live!

Very soon this blogspot address will automatically redirect to the new Eight Acres site, but in the meantime, you can check it out here.  You will find all my soaps, ebooks and beeswax/honey products there, as well as the blog (needs a tidy up, but its all there!).  I will be gradually updating all my social media links and updating and sharing blog posts over the next few months.  I'm very excited to share this new website with you!

    It's looking good, Liz. How do you comment on a post though as I can't see anything there to click on?

      Thanks Chel :) There is nowhere to comment on the page I sent you to, but you can comment on the blog posts (and the comments didn't move over, so it looks like I've been talking to myself for seven years!). I'll put up a new post soon, then you will have somewhere to comment ;)

    Nice start on the new website. I like the new picture of you too. I love green anything, so the shirt is a great choice. Will you keep your Etsy shop open, or close it, now you have the new website to sell from?

Chicken tractor guest post

Sign up for my weekly email updates here , you will find out more about chickens, soap and our farmlife, straight to your inbox, never miss a post!  New soap website and shop opening soon.... Tanya from Lovely Greens invited me to write a guest post on chicken tractors for her blog.  I can't believe how many page views I get for chicken tractors, they seem to be a real area of interest and I hope that the information on my blog has helped people.  I find that when I use something everyday, I forget the details that other people may not be aware of, so in this post for Tanya, I tried to just write everything I could think of that I haven't covered in previous posts.  I tried to explain everything we do and why, so that people in other locations and situations can figure out how best to use chicken tractors with their own chickens. The dogs like to hang out behind the chicken tractors and eat chicken poo.  Dogs are gross! If you want to read more about chicken tractor

Activated charcoal soap and salve

Since I started making my own soap, I've been enjoying trying new recipes, especially adapting them to use beef tallow.  See my post  Sustainable soap - 100% tallow!  for most about why I want to use up the tallow rendered from our own beef. I already sell 100% tallow soap (pure and simple), pink clay soap (pretty pink), lemon balm soap (green herb), neem oil soap (stinky neem) and coffee grounds soap (true grit) in my Etsy shop , and just recently I added my new black magic charcoal soap.  See the links at the end of this post for the other recipes. When I read about how this lady found that activated charcoal soap helped with adult acne , I really wanted to make some and give it a try.  I have had acne on and off since high school, and it really bugs me.  I found a  a recipe for ctivated charcoal soap  here, and then adapted it to suit tallow, with 25% coconut oil for suds.  It makes a really nice face wash, although I can't say its cured my acne completely.
