About Moon Works

June 2000 - The first batch of laundry powder was mixed in a 5 gallon pail to test the formula and for fun. The answer was "YES!" loud and clear from friends, family and acquaintances.

July 2000 - Moon Works Laundry Powder hit the shelves at Hansen's Foods, The Covered Wagon Farm Market (both in Leelanau County, MI) and Oryana Food Co-op (Traverse City, MI).

August 2000 - The 5 gallon pail became too small and grating Castile soap with a kitchen grater became very tedious.

September 2000 - A definite need to expand production. Moon Works purchased the first cement mixer. "Baby Clarke" - a fat, yellow mixer made by Clarke Equipment (258 pieces with some assembly required). The kitchen grater was replaced by a non-electric food processor from an Amish hardware store. It is still used for grating soap today.

September 2002 - Moon Works Laundry Powder can be purchased in 23 stores and food co-ops throughout Michigan and is available by mail order across the country.
