Brand Q&A:
2 goats + 2 acres
Tirzah White, the founder of 2 goats + 2 acres, is dedicated to crafting simple, natural, handmade body products that are free from artificial colors, fragrances or additives.
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.
A: I'm a born-and-raised Georgia girl. When I'm not teaching in the classroom (that’s my full-time day job), I'm tending to our little zoo of animals with my husband Brian, creating new products for my company 2 goats + 2 acres, or tending to the vegetable garden.
Q: What inspired 2 goats + 2 acres?
A: I wanted to create products that I would feel comfortable putting on my body—things without a long list of foreign ingredients. 2 goats + 2 acres is about making products simply and naturally. You wont find artificial colorants, fragrances or additives in any of our soaps, lotions, lip balms, and beyond.
What are three fun facts about you?
I graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga.
When it comes to movies, I much prefer a scary one vs. a rom com.
I used to be a CrossFit trainer.
Q: What are a few of your favorite brands?
I'm loving The Beehive of ATL, a platform where new and established designers and artists can increase their brand visibility through sales, community outreach, and the ability to engage with a network of like-minded entrepreneurs.
I love how they give local artists and designers a chance to showcase their work. It's also a woman-owned business, which I'm always happy to support.
Alex, the owner of A. Battiste Handmade Jewelry, is a local jewelry designer and you can usually find me wearing her necklaces or earrings. She is also an educator, like myself , so I can appreciate the time and effort she puts into her small business.
Myyah of LilArtful is an illustrator, and my favorite pieces are her commissioned portraits of couples.
Q: What are some cool collabs you have worked on?
A: With the recent COVID crisis, small businesses have to get creative about reaching and engaging with their customers. Recently, I participated in an online pop-up festival with local ATL Makers. Audiences were able to virtually pop in to various "booths," learn about a designer/maker, ask questions, and view new items.
