Every farm family I know has a type of tractor that they were known for. The neighbours up the road had a couple of Versatiles. My grandpa was a John Deere guy and had a couple of old IHC tractors parked out in the bush. The neighbours south of us had a hodgepodge of random auction sale finds. 
Growing up we were a John Deere family. Although a few Massey’s, a Deutz, a big ol’ Versatile and a Case somehow ended up sneaking into the farm as we got older.
Our chore tractor that I learnt how to drive on was an old John Deere 4020 that my grandpa bought new in the 60s. A bit of work went into it over the years, but it’s still purring along.

What was your family’s first pick? Did you also learn how to drive a tractor before a truck or car? Let me know below! 🚜

We’re just sitting over here daydreaming about spring and the return of our Homestead, along with the rest of our SS19 range.
Homestead pays homage to the hardworking prairie homesteader with a rich, dark blend of aged leather, barrel aged whiskey and just a hint of black pepper for that extra kick. 
Warm and inviting Homestead’s that perfect scent for you, regardless of whether your homestead’s a glass walled place in the sky, a cozy cabin in the woods or that multi-generation family farmhouse. 
Available soon in both our 4oz travel tins as well as our 8oz boxed glassware!
Cozy Saturdays are the best Saturdays.

Up the cozy factor in your space with one of our Farmer’s Son Co. pure soy wax candles. 
We handcraft each and every one of our candles in small batches, right here in our Winnipeg workshop. 
We’ve chosen to work with a pure soy wax, free of additives, palm wax or petroleum based products. A pure soy candle will burn longer and cleaner - meaning more bang for your buck and no worrying about soot buildup. 
Also know that all of our fragrances are phthalate free, meaning you and feel good about what you’re burning. 
When you’re choosing a candle from a one chandler operation, you can trust that a lot of love and care has gone into making your candle. We want you to love your candle from first burn through last. 
We’re proud to work with and be found in a number of amazing independent shops across the prairies. Tap to discover just a few spots where you can find your perfect cozy Saturday scent!
Valentine’s Day might be this Thursday, but you don’t need an excuse to pickup a Farmer’s Son Co. candle for your partner, friends or yourself! ❤️
Tap to discover just a few of our awesome retail partners! Checkout our website for a complete list & to see if Farmer’s Son Co. candles are available in your neighbourhood.
It might be -25°C with a windchill that has it feeling like -37°C, but that sun’s shining in and hitting the couch just perfectly. Looking like it’s going to be a cozy & lazy Sunday afternoon for the win. 👌🏻
We’ve been hard at it putting the final touches on some new Farmer’s Son Co. items for spring! We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to.

How are you spending this sunny Friday afternoon?
Today we’re gearing up to pour our first batches of candles in the new workshop! It’s exciting to get back into the swing of things after our move this past week and we can’t wait to fill this sunny space with the smell of some of your faves and ours. On the docket this afternoon - Amber + Sandalwood, Cedar + Sage and a batch of Campbrew. 
Plus we’re gearing up to get the spring mix finalized and might just have to pour a test batch of a scent idea that hit in the middle of the night. At the time it seemed amazing, reading the notes app description we wrote down, it could go either way...but you never know until you give it a go. Stay tuned to see if we can bring concept to reality!

NEW BEGINNINGS
_
I’ve been sitting on some really big news since before the holidays and today I’m excited to share with you!
Today I took possession of the new home of Farmer’s Son Co.; a slightly scary, but really exciting step!
With the growth that Farmer’s Son Co. has seen over the past few years, it became pretty apparent this past summer that I wasn’t going to be able to grow whatever this is turning into if I had to keep hauling everything up the stairs to our little second floor corner. Plus with limited space, we’ve been missing out on having a space where clients can easily pickup orders, where they can come explore fragrance and develop their scents and where we can host warehouse sales and other fun events. 
Winnipeg’s a tough market to find space in - let alone anything that made space based on our needs and budget (shoestring).
I’ve been looking high and low with little luck until I was forwarded an ad for this place. On a whim I called not thinking I’d stand a chance. Yet somehow I managed to sneak down to check it out before anyone else, fell in love on the spot and within the span of two days I’d scooped it up signing a lease, giving notice on my current corner shop and then spent the next two months waiting and daydreaming - mapping out the next steps for Farmer’s Son Co. 
In so many ways it feels like I’m starting from scratch. It kind of feels like there’s almost too much room - but give me a few days and I’ll have erased that thought from my mind. 
There’s dedicated room for production, shipping & e-commerce fulfillment. Room for another melted. Space to host clients & friends. Room to just make a mess and try new things. Space for photo shoots. Room for shelving to hold new products / product categories that are in the works. Storage for cases of raw materials without worrying about them toppling over on me. Room to grow & dream. This space is almost too dang nice - I can’t help smile as I wander around trying to figure out where to put things. 
It’s going to take awhile to get settled, but I’m excited to get that first batch of wax going. I can’t wait to show you how everything comes together!
But first, time to go buy a new beer fridge!
