Slow Sundays is our take on that perfect weekend morning. You know the type. The bedroom windows wide open. The sun hitting your face just right. Alarm turned off. Pooch or grouchy house cat fast asleep at the foot of your bed. The curtains swaying gently as a gentle breeze fills the room with the distinctive floral notes from the garden just outside the window. Think notes of sweet summer lilac, wild flowers like bachelor buttons, poppies and calendulas, capped with the sweetness of sweet peas slowly climbing up the garden fence.🌿☀️ The combined scent soft & gentle, you cozy in under the covers to enjoy, cracking open a book and embracing the warm floral glow that fills your room, as you hear the gentle snore from the furry friend at the foot of the bed. 💤🌿 . Find Slow Sundays in both our 8oz glassware as well as in our convenient 4oz travel tins. Tap to discover select stockists or shop our online store anytime.
Did you know that each Farmer’s Son Co. candle is hand poured by one chandler out of his cozy Winnipeg based studio? There’s no factory, just a small space and a guy with the dream of building his career on his own terms. Each Farmer’s Son Co. candle is handcrafted using pure North American produced soy wax, true to life perfume based fragrances that are phthalate free and cotton core wicks. That’s it, that’s all. We don’t add any paraffin waxes, binders, dyes, UV inhibitors, animal by-products or scary chemicals that you can’t pronounce. We keep it simple so that you can light up and enjoy your candle without worry. 🌱 While Farmer’s Son Co. candles might be made by a farmer’s son, who puts a lot of love and care into each candle poured, they’re not just for farm folk or for “the guys.” Occasionally at pop up sales folks will walk by and say “they only make man candles” to those that they’re with. That line couldn’t be further from the truth. We make goods that tell a story. Regardless of who you are or where you’ve come from, we know that we’ve got a collection of scents that you’ll be able to connect with. We make candles for folks who like a long lasting pure soy candle that a) burns clean b) lasts for a heck of a long time and c) takes them back to their favourite places, trips, memories and adventures. 🌲🌿🛶 If you haven’t checked out our line, we invite you to. We’re curious to know which scents you relate to. If you’ve checked out our line and have picked up a few candles from us, we’re really thankful for the support and would love to know where your scents took you back to? 🔥🌿 Which special time, place or memory hit you with that first burn? Let us know below! 📝 . #goodsthattellastory
We’re taking it a bit slower around here this rainy Monday afternoon following a busy weekend that saw us popping up at both the @thirdandbird pop up at The Forks and the @mbnightmarket at Assiniboia Downs, birch here in #YWG. We always a fun time when we have the chance to hangout with you and this weekend was so no exception! We saw so many familiar faces as a lot of new ones who couldn’t get enough of our enamel camp series. We’re so excited that so many of these are going to new homes this Father’s Day weekend and can’t wait to hear how your pops responds! 🙌🏻🔥 . If you missed us at our markets, have no fear! You can find these at select stockists throughout the prairies including @forkstradingcompany, @bison_boutique, @shoptakecare and @thebarwellnessandfitness!
Looking for that perfect host or hostess gift to take with you as you head out to the cabin this weekend? Look no further than our new camp series! 🛶🔥🌲 With three different scents to choose from, there’s something we’ve got you covered. Choose from our signature campfire scent, our new Northwoods scent which is a rich blend of black spruce, birch and terrain or one of our faves, Camp Brew. ☕️🔥 Nothing’s better than the smell of fresh coffee in the morning and we’ve kicked it up a notch by crafting a blend that’ll take you back to that perfect cup of backwoods camping percolator coffee. Dark roast with a hint of espresso and wood smoke, this’ll get everyone (no matter how bleary eyed you might be from the night before) up and out of bed! 🌿🌲 . Find at select stockists including @countryandcohomedecor, @bison_boutique and @farm.house.cafe or shop online anytime!
With so many new folks finding @farmerssonco, I figured that it was time for another round of #fridayintroductions. 🌿🌲🛶 I’m Dan & I’m the son behind the line. My Mom would say I’m a wife, I’m a mother, I’m a farmer.” The line kind of just stuck with me and late one night it kind of hit me that I’m “the farmer’s son.” I wrote that down in a notebook & when it came time to name this venture, that just clicked. 🙌🏻 I grew up on a small family farm where I realized at an early age that though I loved the country, I wasn’t cut out to be a farmer. So, I spent a decade working as a retail buyer, product developer & designer for a few companies in #YWG before having a wakeup call of sorts after my Mom passed away from cancer shortly after being diagnosed. With the support of my better-half, I left my corporate career last fall & haven’t looked back. Life’s too short to be anything but happy. 🙌🏻 Junk shops, flea markets & country auctions are my favourite places to explore. Some of my favourite finds have been the result of a good bidding war; like my Union Jack school house flag, the many boxes of books I’ve brought home over the years, or the wood trunk that sits in my living room. 🇬🇧 I’m an introvert whose found his voice & is coming out of his shell after spending a decade in corporate environments where I didn’t really feel like I fit in and was too shy to speak up...which led to several awkward encounters involving colleagues I’d worked with for years assuming I was a new hire. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll take any excuse that gets me out of the city; whether it’s heading to the beach, up to the farm, out to meet up with amazing stockists or to scope out my weakness: small town bakeries. 🍪🍪🍪 I love that this is more than just a job or a career. It’s a way of life for me and each day brings new & exciting tasks. It’s been the most challenging role I’ve ever had & I’ve loved every minute of it. I’m truly humbled by your support. I’m hoping that you’ll come hang out with me this weekend at the @thirdandbird pop up on Saturday & @mbnightmarket on Sunday. I’ll be the guy in plaid & wearing a cap because I’m too damn lazy to do my hair. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That feeling that comes with watching your lilacs finally blossom after admiring your neighbour’s blossoms for what feels like months. There’s something special about this time of year when the lilacs are blossoming...that distinct floral scent that fills your home if you’re lucky enough to have a bush just outside the door. Our Slow Sundays candle captures that memory of those quiet weekend mornings when the window’s wide open, the curtains gently blowing as you’re slowly being awoke by the sweet & fragrant flower garden just out the window. Complete with heirloom lilacs, wild flowers that seem to pop up in the garden each spring (around the farm there were always bachelor buttons, calendula and poppies) and sweet peas with their distinct scent, Slow Sundays has been one of your favourite scents from our seasonal range. If you haven’t tried it and are a lover of lilac, this is for you. 🌿 . Now through Saturday, save $5.00 on any 8oz Slow Sundays candle in our online shop.

One of the things I love the most about spring is hearing the sound of frogs each evening. Growing up, our family farm was surrounded by a number of sloughs & lakes and no matter where you went for an evening walk you’d find yourself listening to that familiar croak. That and if you were wandering along the edges of a few particular sloughs with the pooches, you’d come across a knot of frogs that would confuse the dogs which was always fun to watch. Usually this somehow resulted in you finding yourself jumping through the mud and muck along the waters edge to keep the dogs from getting a little bit too friendly with them...🌲🐕 I love these shots that my sis @juliefrancesphotography captured this summer of my little cousin and I. It doesn’t matter the age, there’s something fun about trying to catch frogs. 🌿 . What are some of your favourite summer sounds?
