Cantonian Launches Bailey Barn Farms and Soap Co.

By Courtney Warren

In the heart of central Mississippi, a new chapter is unfolding at Bailey Barn Farms & Soap Co., where Cantonian Bailey Carr is bringing her dream of natural living to life with a small goat farm and handmade soap business.

Carr, a lifelong Canton resident, has turned a personal challenge into a thriving local enterprise. Struggling with persistent skin issues and finding little relief from conventional treatments, she discovered the benefits of goat milk soap. This led to the inception of her farm, dedicated to producing all-natural, skin-loving products.

“My journey began with a deep passion for homesteading and a love for all things natural,” Carr said. “I spent countless dollars trying various treatments, but nothing worked until I found goat milk soaps. It was a turning point for me, and I knew I wanted to share this with others.”

Bailey Barn Farms & Soap Co. is more than just a business—it represents a lifestyle centered around simplicity, sustainability, and community. The farm features a small herd of goats whose milk is used to create handmade soaps and skincare products. Carr emphasizes that each product is crafted in small batches with natural ingredients sourced from the farm or trusted suppliers.

“We believe in the power of simplicity,” Carr said. “Our products are made with pure essential oils and natural ingredients, ensuring an indulgent experience while promoting well-being.”

The farm also draws from Carr’s deep roots in Canton. Her parents previously owned a beloved local furniture store, and her grandparents were known for their handcrafted driftwood pieces at the Old Jailhouse Flea Markets. These connections to the community have greatly influenced Carr’s approach to her new venture.

“Canton has always been like a second family to me,” Carr said. “Attending the local farmers markets and connecting with familiar faces and new friends has been incredibly fulfilling. It’s this sense of community that I cherish and want to nurture through Bailey Barn Farms.”

The farm’s commitment to quality and authenticity extends beyond its products. Carr and her team are dedicated to fostering a connection to the land and promoting sustainability. The farm’s offerings are designed to reflect the warmth and charm of rural living, making each product a labor of love.

Bailey Barn Farms & Soap Co. invites locals and visitors alike to explore their range of all-natural soaps and skincare items. The farm continues to participate in local markets, strengthening ties with the community and sharing the benefits of their products.

“Whether you’re a fellow homesteader, a natural product enthusiast, or just someone looking to enjoy farm-inspired goodness, we welcome you to Bailey Barn Farms,” Carr said. “It’s not just about the products; it’s about connecting with people and sharing the beauty of farm life.”
