Step Into a Simpler Time—The Homestead Glow Spring Collection is Back

Spring on the homestead meant fresh air drifting through open windows, linens billowing on the line, and the scent of earth awakening after a long winter’s rest. Days were measured by the sun, chores done with care, and the season’s first blooms were a promise of new beginnings.

Our Homestead Glow Spring Collection brings back the essence of those bygone days—when life moved slower, and every scent told a story.

Country Kitchen – A warm, welcoming kitchen where apple pies cool on the windowsill, maple sugar melts into fresh-baked treats, and every gathering is filled with comfort.

Clothesline Breeze – Crisp white linens swaying in the breeze, kissed by the scent of spring’s first blossoms and the clean air of a sunlit afternoon.

Heirloom Garden – A garden rich with history, where sweet pea and jasmine bloom beside rows of ripening red currants, filling the air with the fragrance of generations past.

Strike a match, close your eyes, and step back to a time when life was simple and every season was savored.

SugarShack Maple 🍁 – A Tribute to the Old Ways

The first signs of spring in the old sugarbush—metal pails hanging from maples, the steady drip of sap, and the wood-fired boiler sending ribbons of smoke into the crisp air. The scent of bubbling syrup, rich and golden, mingles with the earthy warmth of smoldering firewood, a fragrance woven into generations of tradition.

Our SugarShack Maple candle captures that timeless ritual—deep, caramelized maple with the rustic embrace of wood smoke. A scent that lingers like sweet memories of long days in the sugar shack, where patience turns nature’s gift into pure liquid gold.

A true Homestead Glow—poured with care, made for memory-making. ...

Women have always been the backbone of communities—nurturing, building, leading, and creating. As a woman in agriculture and small business, I’ve had the honour of working alongside incredible women—entrepreneurs, makers, farmers, mothers, and caregivers—each embodying resilience, strength, and determination.

Now, more than ever, it’s essential to recognize and support the power of women in all walks of life. Whether running businesses, raising families, working the land, or leading change, women continue to rise, adapt, and push forward despite challenges. When we uplift one another, we strengthen not just individual success but entire communities.

Today, on International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the women who inspire us, the women who fight for a better future, and the women who show up every single day with passion and perseverance. Here’s to us—our power, our resilience, and our unwavering spirit.
