About Saboon Maazeh: Saboon Maazeh is a heritage preservation project run by Joy Youwakim and is located in Upstate New York. Saboon Maazeh is Arabic for soap from goats, and speaks to the origins of Joy’s soap making, which began while she was farming with goats in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.  Today, Joy farms in Chester, NY, and grows medicinal herbs to infuse in olive oil for soaps and salves, to dry for tea mixes, and also grows other Lebanese and Palestinian Heirlooms to nourish her community and support for the Palestinian Heirloom Seed Library.  Joy focuses on traditional and agroecological soap making methods, offering olive oil and laurel soaps (saboon baladi, saboon ghar), goat milk and tallow soaps, and other plant based bars, using only natural colorants and essential oils.  She hosts a seasonal soap CSA (community supported agriculture) following a soil to spa model and there are several pick up locations in NY and TX + shipping options.  A percentage of all proceeds go to support food security efforts in Lebanon and Palestine. Learn more at www.saboonmaazeh.org
