Schacht Farm
Critter Haven Soaps
We, Matt and Mandy Corry, operate a small family farm on the south side of Bloomington. Both the land and animals are managed naturally, without use of chemicals of any kind. We are pleased to offer pastured, freerange eggs, chicken and turkey, grassfed/finished beef and pastured pork.
Critter Haven Soaps is a small company that specializes in producing handmilled, all natural goat milk soaps. We raise our goats on an eco-friendly farm with various species of animals. Our farm is home to a small, pasture raised beef herd and several horses, mules and donkeys. We also are a "haven" to several abused, neglected and "thrown-away" animals. We place as many animals as possible in new, caring homes; for those that do not find new homes, they are allowed to live out their natural lives with our "family."
