| About Us |
| Miss Jenny's Soap is a small cottage industry ran by the Jenny Stevens and family. TJ, Jenny, Andrew, Jon Tom, Briar, and Moses make and test all Miss Jenny's soap. A bit of history.... TJ and Jenny attended Berea College in 1995. While there, Jenny could not use commercially manufactures soap, due to flaky, dry itchy skin. TJ and Jenny have always loved old fashion homemade goodies of any kind. Homemade soap seemed like something they would like to make and use. When Jenny was in elementary school, she had a fourth grade teacher who planned her class theme around pioneer life. That year they made fresh butter, strawberry jam, hand-dipped candles, sewed an old fashion outfit, and even made soap from lard and lye. This teacher made a lasting impression and it was Jenny's favorite year of school. TJ suggested that Jenny try to make some soap to see if it might help her skin. He purchased a book that Berea College had in their Appalachian collection, "Making Soap and Enjoying It" by Ann Bramson. The first three batches were a complete failure, due to the wrong ingredients and equipment. The good Lord had pity and the fourth was a success. Jenny tried the soap after it cured and her skin did not flake or itch as badly. She did more research and made many new and improved recipes until she came up the base they now use. No more flakiness or dry itchy skin, unless using commercial soap of course. Since 1996, our family has been using Miss Jenny's soap, shampoo, and laundry soap. We began to give away soap to all our friends and family. Jenny began giving so much away that TJ said she need to pay for her soap habit. So in 1999, we began thinking of ways to sell our soap. Craft shows and historical events seemed to be a good places to start. Our first show was Mother's day weekend at the Foxfire center in Dillard, GA. We demonstrated old time soap making and sold 40 bars of lye soap. We were amazed. No show has ever equalled our first taste of soapy success. We began traveling for the next few years doing art and craft shows all over the southeast. We worked for Stone Mountain Park, Cracker Country, Fiddlers Grover, and numerous historical events. We dressed and demonstrated 1850's style family life and soap making. We began home schooling our sons when we started traveling with the soap. Let me say it is a privilege to live in a country where we have this freedom, and we have loved every minute of it. For the past couple of years,we have been cutting back on our shows. We would like to do more work from home, since our boys are getting older and their schooling becomes more demanding. To see our calendar of events click here. Please come see us if you get the chance. Seeing soap made in a old fashion way is very interesting and educational. Only God knows what the future holds for the Stevens family. So as we grow and learn, we appreciate your continued support through the use of our soap. So from all of us in the Stevens home, Thank you & God bless you! |
