Next up in the series of pop-up vendors at Marilee’s Farmstand at 698 Sagg Main Street, Sagaponack, Southampton Soap Company drops by to set up a “soap bar” of aromatic soaps—pure, homegrown luxury—on Friday May 12 from noon to 5pm—just in time for Mother’s Day (May 14.)
In addition to a wide selection of spring vegetables and preserves, Marilee’s Farmstand will offer bunches of local flower bouquets for mom, or another special someone on Friday.
Beginning in 2009, Southampton Soap Company soaps have been developed for sensitive skin and include—to name just a few types—Uplifting Geranium, Lavender Oatmeal, and Honeysuckle.
“We use honest ingredients; natural ingredients are natural medicine,” says founder and owner Deborah Lukasik O'Shaughnessy. Handmade with water from the ocean, locally grown herbs and botanicals, and the finest plant-based ingredients available, Southampton Soap Company soaps are sold in shops across Long Island. Outlets include Provisions Natural Foods Market & Organic Café in Sag Harbor and the Milk Pail Fresh Market in Water Mill.
Come to your senses, come to the farmstand on Friday.
O'Shaughnessy is a proud member of the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild. For more information about the Southampton Soap Company, visit southamptonsoapcompany.com
