Customers often tell tales of the 'good ole' soapmaking days. This is one of my favorite stories. If you're a pig farmer you must boil the pigs to remove the hair. This is done over a wood fire in a large iron kettle. The hot water causes the fat in the pigs skin to melt. At the end of the day they are left with water and pigs fat. Ashes are thrown into the water and stirred over the fire to make soap. This soap is the family's soap for the entire year. Very resourceful!
