Take a tour of our studio space where we manufacture our products and fulfill your orders. Then have a peek inside our "soap shack", a charming outbuilding on our farm where we hang our herbs to dry and feed our creative soul.
Handmade, with professional standards
Our purpose-built studio is where every Prairie Soap Shack product comes to life. Renovated in 2021, the three-room space allows us to formulate, infuse herbs, make products, cure soap, package and ship your orders—all right here on our family farm in central Alberta.
While our roots are handmade, we take our manufacturing seriously. Stainless steel workspaces, dedicated production and storage areas, professional equipment and careful sanitation practices allow us to create our products consistently and with care.
small batch, always
As Prairie Soap Shack has grown, so has our equipment—but not our approach. We continue to make our products in small batches, giving us control over quality, freshness and every detail along the way.
That's the beauty of handmade.
The Soap shack
Our little Soap Shack is where nature, tradition and creativity come together. In the warmer months, bunches of yarrow, mint, goldenrod and other prairie plants hang from the rafters to dry, eventually finding their way into many of our creations.
It's also where I slow down, flip through old herbal books, photograph products and dream up what's coming next. The space is filled with pieces of my family's history, including a hand-drawn portrait of my great-grandmother from 1905—a reminder of the resourceful prairie women who came before me.
Where Ideas begin
Many Prairie Soap Shack products begin long before I step into the studio. An idea might come while walking through the river valley, harvesting a plant, working in the garden or reading an old herbal reference book.
The Soap Shack gives me a place to explore those ideas—connecting traditional plant knowledge with modern formulation and turning inspiration from the prairies into something you can use every day.
From our farm to your home
Every Prairie Soap Shack product passes through these spaces—from the first infusion to the final package headed to your doorstep.
