“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”
“It is impossible to have a healthy and sound society without a proper respect for the soil.”
The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.
There is no scent in spring that @renaissancemama loves more than the one from these tall shrubs. Gorgeously redolent of spring. They are considered an invasive non-native species. They’re super tough to get rid of and attempts to uproot them often result only in spreading them. But if you can’t beat ‘em, enjoy them, right?
"This learning from the earth and from the people who work the earth or travel it, is of endless discovery and interest, and is like making a collection of beautiful things of many kinds."
“I want to live in a society where people are intoxicated with the joy of making things.”

Hard frost this morning. The second frost in a week. The growing season has ended. Now the planning and maintenance season begins.

Picture day for our little darlings. Soaps, candles, incense, and paraphernalia being photographed for the shop!
Who knows? We may even get a video shot, too.

Slowly, slowly. Electrics are wired and the insulation is going in.
We’ve been making soaps and candles and incense. Reaching out to other area farmers, checking out bulk goods providers, making a list of books we think you’d like, choosing artworks to print.
Though it be but little, it be mighty, this tiny shop to come.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

Soap at Renaissance Farms. This one is a hand milled goats milk soap the colour of your favourite old jeans and smells like they’ve been freshly washed.
Our soaps are made from organic and fair trade ingredients. We use only natural colourants. The scents come from herbal infusions and essential oils except for a few. The others are scented with non toxic and natural fragrance oils.
We have body and facial bars, shampoo bars, and bars for household cleaning.
All will be available online and at our farm shop this fall.
