About Our Family


Welcome to Rendezvous Farm!

We're the Kosel family—a busy family of twelve living on our little homestead just outside Ballantine, Montana. Between raising ten kids, homeschooling, caring for our animals, and running our family businesses, life is wonderfully full.

Our days revolve around the simple things that matter most: faith, family, hard work, and caring for the land and animals we've been entrusted with. Whether we're gathering eggs, checking on the pigs, milking our goats, or teaching math around the kitchen table, we believe there's joy in living a life that's a little slower and a lot more intentional.

Our goats are the heart behind every bar of soap we make. Their fresh milk becomes the foundation of our small-batch goat milk soap, carefully crafted with skin-loving oils and ingredients we feel good about using in our own home. We make each batch by hand because we believe quality is worth the extra effort.

Our pasture-raised pigs are another big part of life here on the farm. They spend their days rooting, exploring, and enjoying fresh pasture the way pigs were meant to. While our pork won't be available until Fall 2028, we're excited to share that part of our farm with you when the time comes.

If you've found us through Your Hats Montana, yes—it's the same family! During the week we're embroidering hats and apparel for businesses across Montana, and the rest of the time we are feeding animals, tending gardens, building fences, or chasing kids around the yard.

Rendezvous Farm is more than a place where we make soap or raise pork. It's where we're teaching our children the value of hard work, stewardship, hospitality, and creating something with their own hands. Every purchase you make helps support a family that's passionate about raising kids, raising livestock, and living a life that's deeply rooted in Montana.

Whether you're here for a bar of goat milk soap, following along with our farm adventures, or waiting for our pasture-raised pork, we're grateful you stopped by. We hope you'll become part of our story.

From our family to yours,

The Kosel Family
