California Boasts Arizona-Like ‘Set’

HOLLYWOOD, June 21–Gene Autry, who usually flies his movie company hundreds of miles in order to obtain authentic backgrounds for his westerns, found what he wanted for “The Cowboy and the Indians” practically in his own backyard–relatively speaking.

He found a bit of Arizona only 30 minutes’ flying time away from Hollywood–at Pioneertown, Calif., a few miles from Palm Springs.

    Soap ‘n Goats is where handmade tradition meets a little Pioneertown fun!  We craft natural soaps and skincare with goat milk from our Nubian and LaMancha herd, and create one-of-a-kind hand-spun, hand-woven and hand-crocheted treasures—some spun from our very own Pygora goats’ fiber.
