Packaging Updates





We're excited to announce that we have partnered with the Topeka Zoo for World Oceans Day!!!
It may not be until June, but it's got us thinking again about how we can better serve the environment and do even more to preserve the earth.

We've always tried to keep the planet in mind when we choose our packaging,  and now we want to do more! We are looking into ways of making our product even greener and reducing the amount of plastic used in our packaging. Although we have always used Biolefin as our shrink wrap because it is biodegradable, we feel like it takes longer than we would like (7-8 months) so as the months progress we will be moving to more paper or reusable packaging. We are committed to finding sustainable solutions that protect our planet and will continue to strive towards more eco-friendly packaging. Thank you for being part of this journey! 



The idea of sustainability is something we take seriously, so we've been investigating ways to help the environment by reducing our plastic footprint. We are exploring options such as using paper bags with recycled paper and using compostable labels. We are also looking into using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to reduce our carbon emissions. 


We understand that taking steps toward a greener future can be intimidating and time-consuming, but it's worth the effort! Every small change we make can have a big impact.

Be on the lookout for more information about our sustainability initiatives! Together, we can create a better world for future generations.  Thank you for your support and enthusiasm in helping us achieve these goals.

PS
One of our biggest challenges has been packaging for lotion/liquid, so if you have any great ideas, please let us know!

 We’d love to hear them.  Thanks! 💚🌎

About Us

  We are a family-run, and owned farm started in 2014. Thirsty Creek Ranch is home to LaMancha dairy goats, free ranged chickens, handmade Goat Milk Soap, Goat Milk Cheeses, and numerous farm-grown fruits and vegetables. Located in the old apple country of the Kansas countryside, we have a small orchard with apples, peaches, plums, and pears. We offer farm-fresh eggs and our line of  Goat Milk Soap ,  Goat Milk Lotion ,  and  Lip Butters .  We moved from the city to the country in search of a better environment to raise our family. Having spent the better part of our lives in the corporate world and living in various big metropolitan cities, we wanted a change. We felt God was calling us to a small city we had barely heard of. Who were we to argue?   Having started out on this new adventure, we quickly felt the desire to become more self-sufficient--in terms of providing more of our own food. What started as a trip to the local farm store, returni...

Road Blocks, Detours, and A New Path.

Image
Imagine you are driving along merrily when a storm comes out of nowhere. You’re safe but also concerned and a bit anxious. As you trudge along the storm ebbs and flows, but suddenly in a flash, the bridge before you gives way, and you have to come to an unexpected stop. There’s no moving forward, and you can’t back up so you sit there idly, having no idea what to do. You pray it’s just a dream or that someone will come to your rescue and then realize that you and only you will have to find a detour to make it to the other side of this horrible situation. Detours are usually paths that you have never been on. They can be full of turns, hills, curves, lonely back roads, and sometimes full of quicksand. This is the best way to describe grief or at least mine. January 11th, 2007, I married the man of my dreams. I never once thought that years later, the kids and I would be living with him on the other side of life….eternal life. We started a large family, bought a large property, and start...

Happy Mother's Day....Or Not

Image
  Mother’s Day is a day of celebration for many, but for some, it can be a difficult and painful reminder. Whether due to strained relationships with one’s own mother or the loss of a parent, this holiday can bring up strong emotions that are hard to manage. It is important to remember that self-care should always come first - no matter what difficulties you may face on Mother's Day. The first thing to remember is that it’s ok to feel whatever emotions this holiday brings up. Whether you’re missing your mom, grieving the loss of a parent, or struggling with a difficult relationship, these feelings are all valid and deserving of recognition. Give yourself permission to take some time for yourself on Mother's Day - indulge in something that makes you happy, like reading a book or taking a hot bath. You don't have to completely avoid any thoughts or discussions related to Mother's Day if you don't want to; instead, try setting boundaries around your time and energy. Fo...
