Have you caught the recent feature in Northern Virginia Daily, nvdaily.com? Ashley Miller did a fantastic write-up on one of our own local businesses, and it’s well worth a read! :-)

We want to send a big CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Toni Dinges, owner of Valley Soaps at 5928 Main Street. As one of our Mount Jackson 5 (MJ5) entrepreneurs, Toni has brought incredible hand-crafted artistry—HEART and a wonderful sense of humor—to our downtown. From her creative artisan soaps to handmade quilts and ceramics, Valley Soaps is a perfect example of the unique, personality-driven shops that make our Main Street special.

Seeing neighbors like Toni succeed is at the heart of Mount Jackson's economic development goals. Programs like the Mount Jackson 5 and our retail incubator, The Nest Mount Jackson are part of an ongoing effort to support sustainable business growth in our community. We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development whose grant support helps us provide the training, mentorship, and resources that local entrepreneurs need to thrive.

When you shop at small businesses like Valley Soaps, you're investing directly in the future and character of Mount Jackson.

Please join us in celebrating Toni’s hard work, and be sure to stop by 5928 Main Street to check out her shop! 🧼✨
