Behind every little business is a great team
What makes this business tick over is the goats. They were the reason for the creation of Clean Goat Co. Ltd and the basis for running a working smallholding to sustain that. It's important that if you are buying from us, you should see the animals behind the scenes who make all this possible. The goats' happy life here is important, they provide the base ingredient for the soap. The cottage garden gives me all the inspiration I need to create all the varieties of soap, as does the landscape around the farm.

​I live here with my partner, Tony and together we farm an upland hill farm in the Nantlle Valley of North Wales. We keep a herd of goats, two pet pigs, a flock of sheep alongside the horses Thor, Celt and Zoe and of course the dogs and cats, many of whom are rescued and are here living it up now under our care.
​
Running a farm is a challenging task, particularly if you wish, as we do, to be as self-sufficient as possible. Managing the annual tasks can be a full-time job, from wood cutting/sorting to growing the vegetables you hope will fill the kitchen with. We raise poultry to feed ourselves and take time to enjoy the space around us when we can and when we are not busy making more soap.
​
It's a busy life that you can follow on social media, or you can stay in touch by signing up to the website, and every month I write two blog posts. We both love the written word, and I'm passionate about writing about the farm and the animals here.

The billy goats
Lenny
Born this May, his mother Molly passed away unfortunately, however having been bottle raised that means he escapes everywhere with his sister Lotti, eats everything and shouts loudly. he is going to be a challenge as a billy goat.
Leonard
A stunning boy that I had the opportunity purchase in a new pedigree boy, and was able to secure him not disbudded. We look forward to welcoming him to the crew later this year.
Einstein
A pygmy billy goat who arrived with us to stay for a short time, which became the rest of his life. He is wonderful and trained to walk on a halter. He is a great guy to meet for courses.
Levi
A lovely single who has come from Hannah. She is a wonderful milker and a great mum. Whilst he is full Anglo Nubian he doesn't yet have the proper classics of the pedigree. He is however lovely and so will be staying.
lennox
He is nothing short of an oddity. Showing all the signs of being British Alpine yet he has come from Heidi! We have no BA in the herd so perhaps there is some genetic throw back.
the pets
Pepper
Born to Gertie many years ago, he was brought back to us when the circumstances changed. He is MASSIVE and I cannot understate this. Wethered he makes a cuddly friend for plenty of goats.
SaLT
Twin brother to Pepper.
Harley
A pygmy billy goat who arrived with us to stay for a short time, which became the rest of his life. He is wonderful and trained to walk on a halter. He is a great guy to meet for courses.
