As always, our soap is made with probiotic EM's (efficient microbes) which include phototropic bacteria for natural, high powered defense against toxins and pathogenic bacteria. Enzymatic action makes this soap excel at breaking down tough stains and greasy, grimy dirt. Simply put, this soap is fortified with good, healthy buggies to fight nasty, toxic buggies.. All this, plus a luxurious, thick lather and baby skin gentleness.

Unlike anything you've ever tried before...

Our soap is truly unique in that it has so many applications combined in one product, and exceptional at all of them. It will save you money and improve health everywhere that it is used.

• Shampoo •

Home 'n Stead Probiotic Soap makes a fabulous shampoo bar. It easily works up a thick, luxurious lather that rinses super clean and leaves no residue to weigh the hair down. Hair will be bouncy and shiny. Previously straight and limp hair may develop a soft wave.

Use Home 'n Stead Probiotic Soap regularly and exclusively to remove old residue built up on your hair from commercial products, and watch the transformation. In a short time, you will have healthy shine and body, and will find that you no longer need a hair dryer, curling iron, and hair sprays to keep your hair looking great all day, and even for days after washing. For extra silkiness, follow shampoo with a vinegar or EM rinse.

• Bath Bar •

Use as a bath bar for the whole family, including infants and those with sensitive skin. It will not dry out skin and is very gentle, and long lasting (best to use a soap dish so that it dries out between uses).

Especially helpful for those with sensitive skin and allergies!

• Hands •

Every sink should have a bar of EM soap near it. It will make men very happy, as it cuts through the greasiest, toughest dirt with no harsh chemicals to dry and chap hands. It will also make moms happy, as it provides natural defense against germs, unhealthy bacteria and toxins.

• Dishes •

Dishes will get sparkly clean, while hands will stay young looking, soft and moist, without being greasy. Save bundles by not having to buy toxic latex gloves or chemical laden lotions. To use in the dishwater, simply run warm water over the bar while filling up the sink, rubbing the bar between hands or dish cloth to work up a sudsy water.

(We have used natural dish soaps or plain borax for 13 years, but it wasn't until we started using our EM probiotic soap to wash dishes that the dishwashers in the family stopped complaining about dried out and cracking hands. We have 10 people in the family and do all of our dishes by hand. It is truly a blessing to have spot-free, shiny clean dishes and soft hands.)

• Laundry •

Pretreat stains by rubbing moistened bar on them, if desired (often works without needing to pretreat stains). Shred desired amount of soap into a dish of hot water and add to load, or add straight to a hot load (2-4 Tablespoons per load), or click here for instructions on making your own dirt-cheap laundry detergent, using probiotic soap!

• Walls, floors, appliances, general cleaning •

Grate soap into a bucket of warm water. Cuts through greasy, grimy dirt while leaving hands comfortably soft. Also, the liquid laundry detergent recipe referred to above makes an excellent cleaner (about 1/4 c. to 1/2 gallon of warm water, or more concentrated for really tough jobs).

What makes Home 'n Stead Probiotic Soap so special?

Like many homemade soaps, Home 'n Stead Probiotic Soap is made with an old fashioned, cold process method. This soap making method leaves the glycerin in the soap, which moisturizes the skin. Most people who have tried homemade soaps find them to be excellent cleaners without the irritating, drying effect that manufactured soaps can have. Our soap also has no toxic chemicals added and is made with only natural ingredients.

The ingredient that sets Home 'n Stead Probiotic Soap apart from most other homemade soaps is its EM's (efficient microbes). EM's are beneficial bacteria which are known to consume toxic material and defend against pathological bacteria. They include a unique strain of bacteria called phototropic bacteria which have been used around the world to restore toxic waterways to health, to rejuvenate soils, to improve the longevity and remove the toxicity of building materials and to make beneficial supplements for animal and human consumption. These phototropic bacteria survive high heat, and can even be encapsulated in ceramic. EM ceramic powder is added to the soap, in addition to activated EM, to further ensure the presence of these beneficial bacteria in the soap.

It is also unique in that it is made by families who are committed to living gently on the Earth, raising children who are respectful of all life and of the Laws of the Creator.

Testimonials

"Life is complicated enough as it is, so I'm always looking for ways to simplify. Now all I need is basically one soap! No more need of separate bath soap, shampoos, toothpastes, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc. And the best part is - it is natural and healthy! I can actually wash clothes, dishes -myself! - and feel truly clean and not wonder what chemicals and toxins are still lingering."
- John Hoerig

Dear Lund Family,

Well, it's been less than a week and I've had to go ahead and order a case of your wonderful EM soap, as I never want to be without it! I've been using it in my bathroom and in the kitchen, and I can honestly say that it is the best soap I've ever used--and I've used some of the most famous luxury brands available commercially!

My hands have never looked better! I love that I can finish cleaning up the kitchen and my hands don't feel as if they are about to crack. I no longer have the "alligator skin" look to the back of my hands. This alone would be reason enough to switch to your soap exclusively.

But today, I noticed a wonderful additional benefit. Since I was out of dishwashing liquid I decided to try the EM soap, as you mention it can be used to wash dishes. I needed to wash my slow cooker. Like most people who have used their slow cooker to make beans, mine had some white "scale" built up on the inside. Over the years I've tried everything that I could find (that was "safe" to use on a food service surface) to clean out that scale--it looks really bad on my black ceramic slow cooker interior, let me tell you. I lathered up my dishrag with the EM soap and washed out the inside of the pot. As an experiment I decided to try putting some of the EM soap on a nail brush and scrubbing the scale. VOILA! No scale! My slow cooker interior looks just like new!

Thank you for making such a wonderful product available to those of us who aren't quite "on the homestead" yet!

I'm sure that I will discover many other marvelous advantages to using the Home-n-Stead EM soap, and I promise to write and tell you about each discovery!

God bless you and yours,

-Ann Bergeron

This is a one of a kind 'old fashioned fun' kids' game! It started as a well thought-out Christmas gift made by the boys, one that got days of continuous use immediately after opening!

Objective: To knock the opponent's castle over before your own crumbles!

Fire ammo with your own mini catapult launcher.

No taking turns--it's constant nail biting action and fun! (Careful that you don't get caught in the cross-fire! It would be similar to getting hit with a ping-pong ball.)

**Watch a little commercial we made to witness the fun of this game in action!** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-hp98VPtTg (copy and paste) NOTE: The set in the commercial is not the actual set for sale.

Set includes:
- 10 castle wall pieces
- 2 catapult launchers with rubber-bands
- 10 ammo pieces
- Carrying bag

Launchers, castle and ammo pieces are completely handmade out of wood. Our own family's set has been thoroughly abused with love (poor thing!) and has stood up to the test of time amazingly well under such curious and occasionally abusive little hands. (You may have to replace your rubber bands occasionally.)

This is an absolutely proven family favorite that the kids will pull out again and again! A ton of fun for all ages! It's the type of game that will have dad and the old kids on the floor with the youngsters and having loads of fun along with them.

(P.S. But don't let the baby near those ammo pieces!!)

You will receive a bentwood ring made custom to your requested finger size and stone color choice (PLEASE specify in the comments). Current colors are: black, red and blue/grey (see pictures). NOTE: This listing is for the WIDE stone inlay. View other listing for the THIN stone inlay.

I positively adore these rings!! They're so soft, light and comfortable--you don't even know when you're wearing them. I even sleep with mine on without ever noticing it! They're a perfect natural/green choice as opposed to the various factory-produced metals and plastics. Plus they're SO strong! I've abused mine terribly and it's only gotten prettier with wear! Gawsh I just looooove my ring! ...Er, rings. Hehe. Hey--there has to be some perk for being this amazing boy's big sis! :)

So, here's a brief rundown on how the bentwood rings are crafted... A tree is fallen in the forest. The growth rings are then pounded apart by hand and scored into strips. The strips are soaked and split thinner before being bent and wound tightly together, gluing all the while. When they dry they're moved to the lathe where my 17yr brother hand turns them, puts the stone crushed inlay in and then finishes them with CA glue. These rings are extremely strong! In fact, we guarantee their strength against accidents for the first year.

"Little Boy Blue go blow your horn, the sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn!"

Just like the olden toys of yesteryear, little boy blue looks like he jumped straight out of a worn child's nursery rhyme book right into your lap!

This little boy turned out super sweet and cuddly! With his little upturned smile and soft cuddly body, a person can't help but smile back when looking at him! :) His outfit was stitched in a light blue with dark blue trim on the hat and scarf accented by white mittens and pompom. He stands just over nine inches tall.

Check back soon for more of my SuperDuperYooper babies that are nearing completion!

Feel free to contact me for a totally custom baby! I just love making these--each one turns out so cute and unique!

This sweet little girl certainly lives up to that age old adage: "Girls are made of sugar and spice and every thing nice!"

This adorable baby girl turned out perfectly sugary sweet and cuddly! She's soft and plush with light pink cheeks a sweet simple face. She turned out so cute that I am forced to hide her from my little sister!

Her outfit was stitched in a light pink with dark pink hat. She stands just over nine inches tall.

Feel free to contact me for a totally custom baby! I just love making these--each one turns out so cute and unique!

Henry is a very athletic, good lookin' outdoors man! Coming from the Upper Peninsula, naturally, he loves to hunt and fish, and he's very good at both! He enjoys nature, tracking and fresh snowfalls. His favorite possessions are his 22 rifle and, of course, his blaze orange yooper hat with adjustable ear flaps! ;-)

Henry's thick, warm hunting suite was made with an interchanging color camouflage yarn. His yooper hat and mittens are made out of a blaze orange for his hunting safety. ;-) He stands approx. 9 inches tall.

The inspiration for Henry came from sitting in the parking lot of our town's little general store during hunting season in the U.P. and watching all the yoopers come and go--every one of them dressed just like Henry!

Note: Henry's 'gun' not included... but you could easily make your own! ;-)

SuperDuperYooper babies vary by size, style and my creative moods! :) Check back soon--more dolls on the way!

Why not get something both practical and adorably cute in one single purchase? This little guy is sure to attract both grins and birds as soon as you place him out in your flower garden!

My cat-lover brother made this kitty out of 3/4in. spruce, hand painted the details and finished him with a clear oil based waterproofing sealant. His inside measurements are 7'1/2'' deep by 3'1/2 wide by 5'1/2 tall. His mouth opening is approx. 1' by 1' 1/2'. The back end opens up with two screws for a yearly cleaning.

Stuck in the desert with his demanding bunch of Israelites, the rather crotchety Moses (Stephen Lund) leads the chosen people against the ruthless army of Amalek in this lighthearted, historically inaccurate retelling of the adventures that the Israelites encountered while in exodus. The movie will surprise you with just how much some kids and a little determination can accomplish, and will spark the imagination and creativity of any young audience! MOSES and the Battle for the Upper Hand promises to be a half-hour of pure delight for the whole family!

Besides a Behind-the-Scenes presentation and a blooper reel, the DVD also features a 10-minute short film called Johnny Wayne and the Midnight Showdown. 4-year-old John Lund stars as "Johnny Wayne" in this gun-slingin' western as he inherits the badge of the murdered sheriff and matches wits with his mysterious killer.

These wooden combs are a simply wonderful alternative to a plastic 'made in China' hair brush! They work so well, I couldn't have been more pleased. I will never use a plastic brush again! And with good reason: plastic combs and brushes have been proven to cause more split ends in your hair, as well as static electricity and increased hair loss. On the flip side, those who use exclusively wooden combs have reported: more natural curls, faster hair growth, no static electricity, fuller, softer hair, a healthier scalp, less hair loss, and more natural shine and luster. Perfect for long or delicate hair!

Comb has been treated with hemp oil and measures: 3 1/2 by 4 1/4in.

These lovely little pieces of art started out with humble beginnings... A beautiful Ash tree standing proud in our forest that had met its untimely demise when our horses started chewing the bark off its back. Nobody guessed that a sparkling little rock washed ashore on the Lake Superior beach a few miles away would eventually pair with the poor tree to create this custom listing!

You will receive a bentwood ring made custom to your requested finger size and stone color choice (PLEASE specify in the comments). Current colors are: black, red and blue/grey (see pictures). NOTE: This listing is for the THIN stone inlay. View other listing for the WIDE stone inlay.

I positively adore these rings!! They're so soft, light and comfortable--you don't even know when you're wearing them. I even sleep with mine on without ever noticing it! They're a perfect natural/green choice as opposed to the various factory-produced metals and plastics. Plus they're SO strong! I've abused mine terribly and it's only gotten prettier with wear! Gawsh I just looooove my ring! ...Er, rings. Hehe. Hey--there has to be some perk for being this amazing boy's big sis! :)

So, here's a brief rundown on how the bentwood rings are crafted... A tree is fallen in the forest. The growth rings are then pounded apart by hand and scored into strips. The strips are soaked and split thinner before being bent and wound tightly together, gluing all the while. When they dry they're moved to the lathe where my 17yr brother hand turns them, puts the stone crushed inlay in and then finishes them with CA glue. These rings are extremely strong! In fact, we guarantee their strength against accidents for the first year.

I L.O.V.E. these little rockers!! And, after setting mine up as the welcoming committee on our front porch, I am thoroughly convinced that no country porch is complete without one! I'm just tickled about all the things this beautiful little chair could display: A pot of flowers on the porch in the summer? A teddy bear by the fireplace this winter? A favorite rag doll in the bedroom? You decide!

These little rockers measure 20" high and 12" wide. They are impressively sturdy and surprisingly light. They are made out of aspen cut off our land. The seats and backs are made out of recycled crate pieces, all planed smooth. They will arrive in unfinished beauty, but can easily be finished if you wish to display them in the outside elements.

As a lover of flowers, beauty and natural decor, I can honestly say, these are my 'top of the list' choice for natural decoration pieces! Just as practical as they are beautiful!!

Here is a 'one of a kind, hard to find' treasure for sure!

It's another hunk of firewood turned, not only useful, but strikingly beautiful, story!

This little honey dip provides the perfect drizzle amount for your morning toast, coffee, grapefruit, or whatever needs just an even drizzle across the top.

Hand turned on the lathe by my oldest brother, this dip is made of maple and was finished with wax and hemp oil. It has a standard wide-mouth quart jar sized lid built in (see pictures). It is designed to safely stay in the jar with your honey, so you'll never have to dirty your hands or another utensil! ...And it's so cute when left on display in your honey jar! :)

Measures just under 10 inches. Cleans easily in warm water with a mild dish soap.

Makes a great perfectly practical, yet uniquely beautiful, gift!

A wide-mouth quart jar is not included.

NOTE: The second picture is the actual item for sale; the other pics are an older style with a narrow-mouth lid. The new dip for sale has a wide-mouth lid permanently attached.

No cabin or rustic interior is complete without one. ;-) I'd also mention it makes a great gift, but you already knew that.

The sign is completely unique; it was hand-drawn without a pattern, so there will never be another one exactly like it!

The sign is carved in a bass-relief fashion and coated with a spar urethane for use indoors or out. It measures 5 1/2 inches by 18 inches and hangs from a keyhole slot routed in the back.

"Life can be a bear... Keep hangin' in there!" is a completely original, hand carved wall plaque, featuring the cutest little bear--just hangin' there! My brother hand whittled the bear in layers, giving him a realistic, shadow catching, 3D depth. The details and lettering are hand wood burned in, with amazing attention to detail. This is a one of a kind piece of art. Completely our own original design--you'll never find another one like it! He would be proud to bring his eye catching cuteness and character into any room of your house!

He is made out of spruce and sealed with 100% natural hemp oil. There is a key hole hanger drilled into the back for hanging. Measures aprox. 10" by 7"in.

This listing is for an 11 inch tall hand made crucifix with wood burned Jesus. Three different sets of hands contributed to complete this project! My oldest brother made the cross out of a single piece of firewood. My sister drew the Jesus, while another sister tediously wood burned it on to the face of the cross. It's oiled with pure hemp oil, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood. The back has a key hole hanger drilled into it for displaying. An original idea of ours--to my knowledge this is the only one like it!

This would make a great gift!

I just love beavers, don't you? I mean really, who doesn't just love beavers? They're cute, cuddly and full of personality! This quilted one just happens to be exceptionally cute and cuddly, PLUS, he's more friendly, less dangerous and far easier to care for, (promises not to chew on anything indoors). ;)

I've got to dedicate this little guy to my two adventurous younger sisters. They have the best beaver tale of a beaver tail and what a certain big beaver did with his tail, on this side of the river! They can also be attributed for finding and bringing up the beautiful log hanger, which is an actual beaver-chewed-on piece of aspen that they stole off an old (unoccupied!) beaver dam that they found tediously built over one of our creeks after the spring thaw. It's been chewed on either end, you can see all the little teeth marks if you look closely. My brother split it in half so that it hangs flat against the wall and drilled a little key hole hanger in it for displaying (see picture).

The applique is a meticulous old-fashioned method which I have grown fond of and efficient at, and which is all done by hand, turning the raw edges under with the needle and stitching around all the pieces. I then quilted it, shadow stitching around the tree and border which gives it a puffy almost 3D effect. I also embroidered his tooth, eye and teeth marks in the tree he's currently falling.

The log measures just over 13" from one chewed off end to the other. The wall hanging is 10 1/2" x 8" (or 13" including the hanging straps).

You are now looking at THE cutest little cow on the farm!
Hand whittled and painted out of spruce, sweet ol' generous Bessy is the perfect gift for the country cow lover, or any woman who loves the feel of the handcrafted farm livin' in her home! Bessy stands approx. 9" tall and her plaque is approx. 9" wide. The lettering "all I have I owe to Udders!" and cowbell were hand wood burned and the whole plaque was finished in pure hemp oil bringing out the natural beauty of the wood. It has a wire hanger screwed to the back for displaying.

Bessy's big sweet smile is that perfect 'country warmth' feeling that your kitchen has been craving!

Willie is a very funny, smart, easy goin' boy. He is awesome on a snowboard, but very modest about it. He's often found giving lessons to his younger friends. He favors the really big hills, and has dreams of mountain climbing when he's older. His friends will tell you that he has a really quick wit and is really fun to be around!

Willie's snowsuit is made out of a interchanging blue, gray and white color yarn. His hat, mittens and scarf are made out of a light blue. He stands approx. 9 inches tall.

His colors remind me so much of the wintery world outside that he was easy to name. His handsome, yet cute, little curved smile brought all his personality bursting to the surface! :-)

(Note: Sled NOT included.)

SuperDuperYooper babies vary by size, style and my creative moods. ;-)

Meet the result of a creative family's latest brainstorm. Kids laughing as they throw out wild ideas and big brother going out into the workshop and carrying them out is how this little guy came into existence. I'll bet he's been waiting to come out of the wood work for a long time... He really is a patient kind of little fellow. He'll remain faithfully by your sink side until you need him and he promises, on his honor, never, ever, to walk off with your toothbrushes. :)

Being the only one of his kind ever created, he'll be the talk of the town!! Well, of your guests anyway. Adding his little splash of woodsy, rustic, nature in your bathroom in his cute, useful sort of way, he's certain to brighten any bathroom with his warm, agreeable charm. You'll be grinning every time to reach for your brush!

Four deep holes securely hold your tooth brushes while also allowing water to drain away.

He could also just as easily find a home on your desk, holding pencils and pens!

He's finished with several coats of 100% natural hemp oil for moisture protection and to bring out the wood's natural beauty. He stands a proud 5' tall with his base base at 6' x 3'.

Doesn't he look sharp?!! Well, I mean, in a pokey sort of way. :)

Note: Toothbrushes not included.
