For twenty years, John and Joyce Bittner owned and operated the Ranch at Fossil Creek and Fossil Creek Creamery, a goat and llama ranch in beautiful Strawberry, AZ. From their goats' milk they made cheese, fudge, soap, lotion, and much more. People flocked from near and far to pet goats, hike with llamas, and buy the wonderful and delicious products.

The Creamery closed in 2017 when John & Joyce retired to travel and spend time with their children and grandchildren. The animals were re-homed to loving new families.

At the Bittners' suggestion, I started Strawberry's Original in 2017 to continue some of the products from the creamery. I am a former employee and friend of the Bittners, and a big fan of their recipes! I make the fudge, lotion, and soap, and I sell other goat and llama themed merchandise for animal enthusiasts. I operate out of the Pine-Strawberry Farmers' Market in Pine, AZ.

I make the same 4 flavors of creamy goat milk fudge you know and love:

Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Chocolate with Peanut Butter, and Chocolate with Pecans.

I have now made a new flavor! - Peppermint Chocolate made with peppermint extract. Yum!

(Available at Farmers Market and other places - See Locations tabs.) $10 per box.

I have the very same lotion Joyce used to sell at the farm, in the same beautiful scents. This is our favorite lotion for dry skin, which is no stranger in Arizona!

Our goat's milk moisturizing lotion is luxurious and thereputic. Rich in triglycerides and essential fatty acids with a PH similar to human skin, it soaks into where it needs to be. It's loaded with vitamin A, minerals, proteins, lipids, and other nutrients to nourish your skin to help it heal from dryness and leave it feeling soft and supple. You'll be hooked! We are!

How to use: massage into skin wherever moisture is needed, on hands and body. A little goes a long way. (If you do not have a sensitivity, the lotion may be used on your face as well. Many people apply it to their face with good results.)

Lavender or Green Mango scent - or Unscented.

4 oz jar $15

1 oz sample tube $5

Made with only the highest quality ingredients, our soap is a treat at the sink or in the shower! Goat milk and vegetable oils such as olive and coconut nourish and moisturize your skin while cleansing with a wonderful silky lather.

Each full-sized bar of soap comes with a small cloth gift bag.

All of my soaps are the same recipe, only the scent and shape is varied. There are five scents, including unscented.

Lavender and Jasmine have flowery, feminine aromas.

Lemongrass and Woods are fantastic neutral or masculine scents that never disappoint. Woods is a blend that includes sandalwood.

The Unscented soap has a lovely, mild smell of olive oil, the most fragrant ingredient.
