Count Your Blessings Farm

Our beef isn't just MADE IN AMERICA. 🇺🇸

It's RAISED IN BEDFORD COUNTY.

Raised on our pastures.
Raised by our family.
Raised with the health and care of our cattle at the forefront.
And sold directly to our neighbors.

When you buy beef from us, you don't have to decipher a label or wonder where it started. You can look your farmer in the eye and ask us yourself.

Know your farmer. Know your food. Know your beef.

Come see us at the Bedford VA Farmers Market tomorrow and stock your freezer with locally raised beef.

And don't worry! We will also still have all of your favorite goat milk and lard soaps and lotions! 🐐 🫧 Fill your belly and feed your skin!

✨ Meet the newest addition to the CYB skincare family... the Renew Facial Bar. ✨

If the Detox Facial Bar is here to clean, the Renew Facial Bar is here to restore.

Crafted with nourishing goat milk, skin-loving tallow, and gentle rose kaolin clay, this bar was created for those who want a facial cleanser that leaves skin feeling soft, balanced, and refreshed—not stripped.

While our Detox Facial Bar works to deeply cleanse and clarify, the Renew Facial Bar focuses on helping your skin feel calm, nourished, and renewed with every wash.

🐐 Goat Milk
🐃 Grass-Fed Tallow
🌹 Rose Kaolin Clay
🌿 Pure Essential Oils

Whether you alternate between the two or find yourself reaching for one more than the other, there's now a facial bar for every skin's needs.

Which one sounds more like your skin?

🖤 Detox – Deep cleansing & clarifying
🤍 Renew – Gentle, nourishing & restoring

You can find both the Detox Face Wash Bar and the Renew Face Wash Bar at Bedford VA Farmers Market this Saturday, August 8th and The Well in Bedford starting tomorrow!

💛 A little apology… and a whole lot of gratitude. 💛

If you’ve been wondering where we’ve been, we’ve been a little MIA from the Bedford VA Farmers Market and social media throughout July. This past month brought several wonderful life celebrations, a family vacation, and precious time spent with the people we love during a slower season of life.

While I truly regret missing opportunities to connect with our amazing customers and fellow market friends, I don’t regret taking the time to be present with my family. My children are growing faster than I’d like, and I want to soak up as much time with them as I possibly can. These moments are ones I know I’ll never get back. 🤍

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we stepped away to enjoy this special season. We’re excited to reconnect, get back into the swing of things, and share more of what we’ve been working on! I'll be celebrating my little sister in her ✨BRIDE ERA✨ this weekend and am so looking forward to seeing you again AUGUST 8th!

As a small thank-you—and to make up for being a little quiet—we’re offering 30% OFF everything on the SALE page on the website! 🧼✨ (discount added at checkout)

Head over to the website to shop the sale while supplies last. Thank you for continuing to support our small, family business. Your support truly allows us to create products we love while also making space for the moments that matter most. 🌿🐐

We’ve missed you, and we can’t wait to see you again soon!

Discover our artisanal handmade goat milk soaps, crafted with care from locally sourced ingredients and byproducts from our humanely raised livestock. Each bar is designed to nourish your skin while supporting sustainable practices and animal welfare. Indulge in the gentle, moisturizing properties o...

Your dad called. He said he wants brats for dinner on Sunday. Told me to let you know you can get them tomorrow at Bedford VA Farmers Market. You’re welcome.

One of the most commonly asked questions when I’m selling my and lotions at Bedford VA Farmers Market or other vendor events is: “do you milk your own goats?” and for a while I thought the answer was obvious. To me, the goat milk isn’t just part of the soap, it’s IS the soap. It’s the ingredient that requires the most amount of care, the most amount of prep work, and the most amount of love and attention. Learning to nurture and care for the goats came first, and the soap was a fun, creative way to use the bounty of my hard work. There are hundreds of hours of work poured into these products before the first drop of milk even hits the milk pail and even a few more before the milk is made into soap. Along with the lard from our pasture raised pigs, our soap is a true testament to the hard work and care that goes into value added farm products. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoy creating them for you. ❤️

You can find me and my goat milk products tomorrow, June 20th from 8a-12p at the Bedford Farmer’s Market!
