Tijeras, New Mexico · Desde 1598

The gate isn't open yet.

Make It 8 Homestead is still being built — fences going up, the herd settling in, the first soap curing. There's nothing to buy and nowhere to visit, not yet. But you found it early. Leave your email and you'll be the first one through when it opens.

Opening 2026 · Marigolds & Memory
Why eight

It begins with a boy, and a number that was always there.

A family of eight. A surname of eight letters. A line whose New Mexico dates each carry an eight, from 1598 onward. And a son who was forever seventeen — one and seven is eight. We didn't build the brand and then find the number. The number was always there. So we built a homestead around it: a place to teach what was almost erased, and feed whoever comes to the table.

The math was named for us.
What's coming

Watch it fill.

Nothing here is rushed. It arrives in order — the way a homestead actually comes to life. Here's what's next.

First

Batch 001

A small, numbered founders run of New Mexico–botanical soap and bath bombs — no milk yet, just piñon, sage, and desert bloom. Online only. The first thing you'll be able to hold.

Then

The herd grows

The Crazy 8 does kid in the fall, and the babies arrive. The pen goes in along the entrance road, so the goats are the first thing you'll meet.

Fall 2026

The gate opens

Marigolds & Memory — a public Día de los Muertos opening. A community ofrenda, a luminaria path, marigolds and biscochitos and champurrado. The first night the homestead is yours to walk.

After

First milk

Once the herd is milking, the real goat-milk soap begins to cure — weeks of patience before the milk jug is ready. You'll have watched it fill from the start.

Three houses, one roof

What we're building.

Make It 8 Homestead

Come be here.

The land — goats, garden, glamping, and the gatherings that mark the year.

The Naked 8

Take it home.

The homestead, bottled — goat-milk and New Mexico–botanical skincare and goods.

The 8 Hours

Rest is yours.

Sleep, wellness, and retreat — the eight hours that belong to no one but you.

Be early

One email, and you're through the gate before anyone else.

No spam, no noise. Just a note when Batch 001 drops and when the homestead opens.
