Soap Seller No Longer a 'Secret' at Farmers' Market

The Madison Farmers' Market pitches its tents on Waverly Place from 2-7 p.m. every Thursday this summer and Patch is there, with spotlights on vendors and what they're selling, and what you're buying.

Secret Garden Soap of Madison this year is a first-time vendor at the Farmers' Market, the only market the retailer attends.

Owner Tracee Palmer opened her store in April. This year, with the expansion of the market, she was able to secure a booth to display her line of beauty products.

Palmer said that she decided to join the market to make it easier for her clients to make their purchases.

Customer Lucille Clemente, browsing the wares, explained that the  Farmers' Market provides a convenient opportunity to make her purchases from Secret Garden Soap and other Market vendors.

Secret Garden sells goats milk soaps, lotions and moisturizing fizzee eggs. The family creates its product from the raw goats milk of their own La Mancha goats. Their soaps are made in small batches, hand-cut, wrapped, and cured for 30 days. The soaps can be personalized for any occasion.

For those who may be unfamiliar, fizzee eggs are made from a combination of baking soda, citric acid, powdered goats milk, cocoa butter, fragrance oil and witch hazel. The eggs come in six different scents and tint the bathwater.
