Back Forty SoCo was established in Winchester, Kentucky in the spring of 2020 by longtime friends James and Matt.  The team became interested in the process of making natural soaps after trying other brands on the market, and wanted to provide a new local option for themselves and others.  

Hearing tales of how soap was made on farms and homesteads in the past, the guys were inspired to give the process a try.  After some trial and error, they settled on a process that would borrow from both old and new techniques. 

They adopted the namesake of Back Forty SoCo as a nod to the past and for the fact that all products are still made by hand in small batches on a farm in rural Clark County, Kentucky.  As with any farm activity, the company is a family affair, with wives and kids pitching in as needed.

The scents were named for streets, roads, and areas around this small Kentucky town, as well as being influenced by outdoor activities that are of interest to the owners.

 Thanks for joining us on the Back Forty, we hope to see you around!
