Honey Sweetie Acres produces only artisan goat milk soaps and lotions in the Certified Humane program

HERNDON, Va., June 28, 2016 — Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC), the leading international nonprofit certification program improving the lives of farm animals in food production, announced Honey Sweetie Acres, a goat farm in Goshen, Ohio, has been accepted into their Certified Humane Raised and Handled® program.

Honey Sweetie Acres has met all the Certified Humane® qualifications, passed independent, third-party inspections, and may now use the Certified Humane® label on their qualifying products.

Honey Sweetie Acres produces the only artisan goat milk soaps and lotions in the Certified Humane® program.

“A lot of non-farm animal people don’t know how farm animals are raised,” says Regina Bauscher who operates Honey Sweetie Farms with her husband Steve. “With all the interest in animal welfare, we wanted to assure our consumers about how we care for our goats, and the Certified Humane® label let’s us do that.”

The Certified Humane Raised and Handled® label assures consumers that meat, pork, poultry, egg, dairy and other products have been produced according to HFAC’s precise standards for humane farm animal care. Animals must receive a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones and must be raised with shelter, resting areas and sufficient space to support natural behaviors.

Since 2003, more than 665 million farm animals have been raised Certified Humane® in North and South America. Check out the Certified Humane® “Where to Buy” page or download the free Certified Humane® App. For additional information on HFAC, visit www.certifiedhumane.org.
