Our organization works to bring new life to downtown Rockford by establishing a weekly tradition that draws people into the heart of the city, creates a vibrant community center, increases business at downtown shops & restaurants, and serves as an incubator for new businesses.
We hope you join us in the goal and meet us at the Market.
Soap of the Earth is entirely handmade in Key and Lori Hoyt's 1872 farmhouse kitchen in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The first bars were cast in 2004 to satisfy Lori's obsession with organic chemistry and because they made a commitment to rid their lives of unnecessary synthetic chemicals. What people find after using an all-natural bar of soap is that their skin feels better and so does their soul. It is emotionally soothing to know that the ingredients in our body care products are real and serve a wholesome purpose. Their small farm organically produces many of the herbs and flowers used in their products. Others are responsibly wild-harvested or purchased directly from other local producers.
