JONES COUNTY, Ga. — All across Georgia, there are all kinds of farms, from peaches and pecans to beef and dairy cows.
One Central Georgia farm is nestled inside a subdivision and is the GOAT of hand-made soaps.
If you drive through one neighborhood on the Bibb-Jones County line, you'll find a goat farm. But there are more than cute animals at Bone Creek Farms.
Tisha and Alan Carr are the owners of Bone Creek Farms. For nine years, they have been raising livestock. They have around 20 goats and more than 100 chickens.
These goats are unique to the Carr family because they have become the backbone of their business.
"We had already started the farm to do cheese, and we realized we weren't going to be able to do cheese because it was so expensive. You have to have refrigerated tanks and lots of stuff that we weren't financially prepared for. We already have the goats, and I'm not going get rid of them, so we said, 'We'll try making soap,' and that's what we did," Tisha Carr said.
What was once an old barn holds the workshop where they make specialty soaps. One of their original goats, Daisy, is the poster child for the brand.
Carr herself has sensitive skin and wanted to create something to help others.
"People with eczema and rosacea, different skin problems, they come to us because they can't use store-bought soap. Well, they can, but it just messes them up," she said.
Carr's most popular scent is Hippie Chick.
"Typically, it's about 12-24 hours that you can pull it out of the mold and then cut it. So then, we line them up on this tray and let them sit for 4 to 6 weeks ideally," Carr said.
There are more than 50 different varieties of goat's milk soap available. They also produce candles, lotions and hair care products.
