Happy Anniversary To Rapha

Lets get right to the point. We are celebrating with a sale, use code RAPHAISFOUR to take 15% off our entire website. Don’t wait to long, the sale ends at midnight on Saturday October 22, 2022.

Four years ago, getting to where we are today was well beyond a dream. I was still trying to figure out our new farm. We were selling milk and eggs, and I was trying to brainstorm ways for Sarah to make an income long term (and for me short term). She had told me three years prior that she wanted to be a farmer. My father grew up on a farm, but I had no clue what to do. Unfortunately we weren’t making anywhere near enough selling milk. So when the milk got goaty, I decided to try making a batch of soap. If nothing else, I wouldn’t have to spend what little money we had on soap. I was not prepared for what would happen next.

Our testers were amazed, the soap was healing skin, and we just needed to find a way to get it into the hands of customers. That began the craziest journey ever.

Fast forward 4 years, and we just had a record breaking day selling soap in St. Paul on Saturday, selling 87 bars of goat milk soap in just one day, at just one market. I woke up early today and made 200 more bars, and plan to make 200 more later today. Things have taken off in ways that are just mind blowing. There’s some pretty big news that we just can’t wait to share with you….. soon!

For now Sarah has decided to not continue with the business, but honestly, I still hope she will come back to it some day. She was amazing at selling at our markets. When I took over, customers told me how she’d sell them everything on the table. The other vendors would tell me what an amazing work ethic she had. If nothing else, it helped her to mature and get an idea what it would be like to run a business.

I don’t know what will come next, but God does. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. He knows what will happen with Rapha Farms also.

Thank you so much to all of our customers who have walked through these first four years! We wouldn’t be here without you!
