The aroma you smell, competing with the scents of popcorn and doughnuts at the Sturgeon Bay Farmers Market, has been a mainstay in the community for over 25 years. During its history, Logan Creek Soap has bounced between locations, from a west-side garage to its current location on 3rd Avenue in Sturgeon Bay’s downtown district. Owner Heidi Gutschow took over the operation from the Abrahamson family a few years ago, but carried on their tradition while adding some new products and scents along the way. Making the soap in-house, Gutschow says, is a very involved process to create the dozens of varieties they sell in store and at the farmers market.

In recent years, Gutschow has begun using ingredients like goat’s milk and bear tallow to expand its selection and meet customer demand. You can click this link to listen to the entire Faces of the Farmers Market Podcast with Logan Creek Soap.
