Things to See & Do
Goats of Gaia Soap Co. is nestled in the Otway Rainforest, near Apollo Bay. Established as a dairy in 1900 Fernside Farm has gone back to its roots - offering goats milk soap and body care products from our stud herd of holistically raised Saanen milking goats.
The all natural goats milk soap, indeed all the products, are handcrafted at the farm and the delightfully smelly Farm Shop is situated in the original farmhouse. Goats of Gaia Soap Co. offer a huge variety of soaps, skincare products, salves, balms and liniments, herbal and aromatherapy products.
Coming soon for Season 2011/2012
