About Us

Taking the reigns of Blue Heron Soap Company in March 2020 was a risk worth taking.   After many meetings with Peggy Breedlove Gerard (Blue Heron's Founder), my husband and 4 children were excited to begin a new chapter. With a BA in Chemistry from the University of MN Morris, 15 years as a personal and business coach, and 3 years working on a startup company many aspects of owning Blue Heron Soap Company feel right--like details from past experience are daily coming into play.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow and create for you and your family and friends healthy, handmade, sustainable soap for years to come.

Building on the formulas developed and scents curated by Peggy since 1996, last year we created a new line of soaps without palm oil and zero waste.  Now more than ever, we realize the importance of creating sustainable products and business practices to care for, protect and steward our environment.  To that end, we are committed and hope you and your households will join us.  In 2021 we are phasing out plastic  packaging, and adopting a clear compostable bag made of cellulose fiber to replace it as a customer option.
