MEET THE MAKERS ❤️

WHIMSICAL WORKS – by Cadence

We are so excited to have Cadence returning to our 2nd Annual Mini Makers Market! ❤️

Over the past year, Cadence has become so much more than an extra set of helping hands around our farm. She’s become like one of the family, and we are so grateful for her!

Cadence has such a beautiful, creative heart, and it shines through in everything she makes.

Her adorable crochet creations are stitched one thoughtful loop at a time, full of whimsy and wonder. She even made me the sweetest little crochet goat that looks just like my Billie Jo! 🐐❤️

Her handmade jewelry is just as lovely, with delicate, one-of-a-kind pieces, some lovingly upcycled from forgotten treasures and given new life.

And let’s not forget her beautiful hand-painted treasures! Each piece is a little reflection of her creativity and artistic heart.

She truly has a gift for seeing beauty in the little things, and I love watching her use the talents God has given her. ❤️

Come on out and support this sweet, up-and-coming young artist at our 2nd Annual Mini Makers Market!

📅 November 28 | 10:30 AM–2:30 PM
📍 Right here at our family farm!

Hope to see you there!

xoxo, your local milkmaid 🐐❤️

Farmhouse Spice Goat’s Milk Soap 🤎

There’s just something about that old farmhouse that will always have a special place in my heart. So many memories of family, Christmases past, and traditions I’ll never forget. ❤️

Our ancestors travelled from England, through Quebec, before settling along the shores of Oxenden. Years later, my great-great-great-grandfather, Alvey James, fell in love with the land at Indian Falls and purchased the farm in 1877.

Seven generations later, we’re still here. Still loving this land and calling it home. ❤️

Oh, if those old farmhouse walls could talk! Through wars, hardships, births, goodbyes, and generations of family memories, God’s faithfulness has carried us through it all.

Growing up, Christmas Eve was always spent there, celebrating Christmas and my uncle’s birthday. The house was full of family, Christmas baking, and the smell of warm spices. Oh, how I treasure those memories!

🤎 Farmhouse Spice Goat’s Milk Soap was inspired by those Christmases past. Handcrafted with our goats’ milk, rich cocoa butter, and a warm blend of Christmas spices.

A little reminder of home, treasured traditions, and God’s goodness through the generations. ❤️

Available for pickup beginning November 28! Message me to preorder yours.

🍞 Meet the Maker – Fresh Artisan Sourdough
Handmade by Alanna Kennedy ❤️

I met Alanna a few years ago at church, and I’ve always appreciated her peaceful, old-fashioned way of enjoying the good things God gives us.

She was actually part of one of the very first goat walks I ever did, with her baby tucked into her jacket for warmth and our curious goats nibbling at her coat! Haha! A memory that still makes me smile. ❤️

And speaking of babies, Alanna just welcomed her fifth little blessing, fresh from the oven! Haha! ❤️

At home, Alanna keeps a stone mill because she values the slower, traditional ways. That same heart goes into her sourdough. Each loaf is handcrafted with patience, care, and a whole lot of love.

🍞 Here’s what Alanna is planning to bring this year!

• Classic Sourdough
• Italian Herb & Cheese
• Jalapeño & Cheddar
• Dill Pickle
• Cinnamon Raisin

And that’s not all! She’s also planning some cinnamon star sourdough discard creations and delicious discard cookies! Yum!

Makers like Alanna are what make our little market feel like home. Warm, local, and full of heart. ❤️

Come meet Alanna and enjoy some of her delicious homemade goodness at our Christmas Mini Makers Market!

🎄 November 28 | 10:30–2:30

Hope to see you there!

Xoxo, your local milkmaid ❤️

🐐Goat’s Milk Soap & a Note of Hope 📝

For the fourth year, we’re bringing back Goat’s Milk Soap & a Note of Hope! What started as a little idea has become such a special part of Christmas here on the farm.

Throughout the whole month of November, for every purchase made from our little farm business, we’ll be donating a bar of our handcrafted goat’s milk soap to the Wiarton Salvation Army Christmas Blessing program.

Each bar will be wrapped with a handwritten Note of Hope from local kiddos. Just a little reminder to someone going through a difficult season that they are loved, thought of, and not forgotten. ❤️

There are a few ways you can join us!

🌿 Shop our little farm business throughout November. Every purchase helps us give back!

🎁 Purchase an extra bar of soap to donate to someone in need.

✏️ Come write a Note of Hope at our Christmas Mini Market on the farm, Saturday, November 28. Little hands and big hands are all welcome!

It’s such a simple little thing, a bar of soap and a few kind words, but sometimes those little things can mean so much.

Our hope and prayer is that through this Christmas tradition, we can share a little of God’s love with our neighbours this Christmas.

Thank you, friends, for helping us do this for another year! ❤️

Feeling a little stressed? 🐐

Sometimes you just need to step away from all the noise, get some fresh air, and love on a goat! ❤️

God gives us so many little reminders to slow down and enjoy the simple things.

And around here, a little goat therapy never hurts! 😂🐐

Pumpkin Pie 🥧🍂

Yep, I finally jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon. 🤪

But of course, this one has a little story behind its name.

Pumpkin Pie was one of our little goats, named by Silas because of his orange spots and, in Silas’s words, because he was “as sweet as pumpkin pie.” 🤎🐐

It also happens to be the nickname of one of my favourite little ladies, who shares my love for critters and tea parties. So really, I didn’t stand much of a chance of avoiding the pumpkin theme. 😂

Made with creamy goat’s milk and real pumpkin, with a cozy blend of warm fall spices.

Pre-orders are now open — $10 each
Ready for pickup September 19. 🍂

Just another peaceful morning on the farm… where I grow beautiful things for the goats to climb on and eat. 🤪😂
