History

Founded around 2002-2004 by Jenny Welch, initially as a sole proprietorship involving soap-making and goat milking on Orcas Island. Transitioned to online sales with a trademarked shopping site in 2004 and became an LLC in 2010, hiring its first employees. Moved to a new building on Hope Lane in Eastsound in 2014 and achieved BBB accreditation in 2014, with consistent 20-25% annual growth driven by customer requests.
