Country Junction Soaps

A grandmother's homemade goat's milk soap cured her grandson's eczema without medication — and became a family business fifteen years later.

Country Junction Soaps

It started with a little boy's skin and a grandmother who wasn't willing to accept the only option on the table. When Heather Medina's son developed eczema, the doctors prescribed steroids. Heather went looking for something better. Her mother Sandy was already raising Nubian goats on her farm and had heard about the remarkable benefits of raw goat's milk soap. So Sandy did what grandmothers do — she researched, she experimented, and she developed a soap using fresh milk from her own goats that completely turned her grandson's skin around. No medications. Just something pure, made with love, right on the farm.

That was over 15 years ago. What began as a solution for one child grew into a full line of all-natural body products — free from the chemicals and brand hype that fill most store shelves. The goats are raised from birth, bottle-fed, and well-loved, and the milk in every bar comes from animals they know by name. After each bar is cut it cures on shelves for eight weeks before it ever reaches a customer's hands. That kind of care isn't common anymore. At Country Junction, it's just how things are done.

Step inside and you'll find more than soap — and you'll likely be greeted by Heather's sister Stacey, who runs the floor most days and has a gift for helping you find exactly what you're looking for. Locally made candles, handmade blankets, home décor, and gifts for every occasion — and a team that will help you put together the perfect combination and tie a bow on it when they're done.

Come by the shop or find them at the Senoia Farmers' Market on Saturdays.
