Meet Jaimie!

She provides the all-natural homemade goat’s milk soap that is for sale in our front lobby.

Jaimie started VZ Homestead in 2018 because she was having trouble finding raw goat’s milk for her special needs daughter. She bought a breeding pair of dairy goats and decided to source her own milk!

From there, the homestead evolved into owning chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail and making all of her own hygiene products (including goat’s milk soap). She didn’t plan on the homestead becoming a business until people started loving her soap bars as much as she did and she was constantly being asked to sell some.
She named the homestead VZ Homestead to honor her daughter (VZ are her initials) because she’s the reason for it all! She also utilizes about 300 sqft of her yard to grow organic herbs, medicinal plants, and veggies that are often processed and used in her soap!

Jaimie’s educational background is in wildlife biology/environmental science and worked extensively with endangered species & their habitats all over the US, but mainly here in Louisiana.

Thank you for supporting local small businesses like VZ Homestead!
