Wake up everybody….Spring is here!!!
Spring is a season of changes, a season of making big plans, a season of new and a season of life. Spring is unique and never repeating like the flow time; is also a season of elusions, when we hope to see all our dreams coming true and all our deepest wishes and desires fulfilled.
We begin to see the grass grow, the first leaves hanging from the branches and the first flowers opening to show us their colorful petals. Only at the moment when we see the birds return and make themselves new nest we begin to feel that the spring is here and that the last year is nothing more but another bit of our past.
Beginning in May until end of October, we begin again to participate in our regular season Farmers Markets in the Metro Detroit Area. Just check our calendar for the event closest to you, and stop by to pick up your favorites.
Don't forget that a selection is also available at both Plum Market Bloomfield and West Bloomfield stores, Artloft Gifts in Birmingham, and Spa A-Peel Day Spa Studio in Detroit. And finally, no matter what, you can always order online for quick shipment from our secure website.

FSW Articles
First up is our Farmington Soap Works Product Guide. In it, you will find out everything you ever wanted to know about our products and ingredients... What kind of oils we use, how "natural" our All Natural soaps are, and why we select the ingredients we use.
We've also left up our cold process soap article. This used to be our "about us" page, and describes how we make our cold process soaps. Did you know that all of our soaps are cured for weeks before they are offered for sale?
Finally, we've posted an article about pH testing, and our campaign to stomp out "zap testing". We expect this to step on some toes, maybe bruise some egos. But honestly - how can anyone seriously consider using your tongue to test for lye content to be a good idea?

“Last Sunday, I met Nadia Miranda and my best friend Winston and I did buy some of the Wonderful Soap from Nadia and I now have been using it every day and it is worth every cent. The soap is the best that I have ever used and I have used alot of different soap during my 55 years and this is the best.”

“I'm the kind of guy that could care less about frou-frou stuff. After my wife bought some of your soaps and we started using them, I told her not to ever buy any kind of soap other than yours. They smell good, they feel good, they last a really long time, and I don't have itchy winter skin any more.”
