Last year I purchased two donkeys with the idea that I would breed them in order to use their milk for soaping. Well. . . I now realize with the economy being what it is that I would have a hard time selling the off spring. I'm not interested in growing the herd so now I am thinking - find some to buy. Well my problem is I can't find any. Powdered would be ok I supose (if I must). Anyone out there have source? Please let me know if you do, otherwise I will go to plan B and breed my goats. Thanks.

I have never seen donkey milk for purchase.

I am not sure it is available for sale in the US yet but according to the site link above it may be soon, I am not sure how that article is, but this site should be helpful to you.

I wanted to make donkey milk soap too... There are 2 people in the Province of Québec that make that kind of soap. I saw one last week end at the market sale.

The persone "growing" donkeys (sorry, I don't know the good word) would not give or sell the milk (I tried) : they want to be exclusive donkey milk soapmakers. I tried to find some (powdered) even in Europe but could never find it.

I found good sheep milk and yogourt and it makes a very good soap. Same as goatmilk, I would think.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I believe donkey milk is one of the oldest forms of milk soap and long ago a very popular milk source in several parts of the world. My Mediterranean roots are showing I suppose (my donkeys are a Mediterranean breed also) but I would like to bring it back to my little part of the world. People really want unusual things these days, especially if there is a history behind it. I'll keep looking and plan to breed my goats this winter.
Happy soaping!
