🌿🐝 FARM-GROWN, HANDCRAFTED & FULLY STOCKED AT THE COMMONS!

🍇 Elderberry Syrup
A fall favourite for immune support! Made with 50% of their own wildflower honey. Elderberries have a long history of traditional use during cold and flu season. Delicious by the spoonful, in tea, sparkling water or drizzled over yogurt.

🖤 NEW! Wildfire Detox Botanical Clay Mask
Activated charcoal, matcha + chamomile. A lovely choice for oily or blemish-prone skin, helping absorb excess surface oil and leave skin feeling refreshed and clean. Mix with water, honey or yogurt, with a splash of apple c***r vinegar if desired. Each jar makes 12–15+ masks!

✨ NEW! Brightening Botanical Clay Mask
Turmeric, oats + reishi mushroom for a gentle, nourishing facial experience. Designed to help soften and soothe skin while leaving your complexion looking refreshed and radiant.

🔥 Fire C***r
One of their most popular seasonal products! Organic apple c***r vinegar infused with farm-grown garlic, horseradish, onions, herbs, hot peppers, organic citrus, ginger and their own honey. A traditional warming herbal tonic, especially popular during the colder months. Enjoy a small amount by the spoonful, dilute in water or add to salad dressings and marinades.

🌿 Cracked Hands & Feet Salve
Their rich Comfrey + Wintergreen Salve, made for hardworking hands, rough heels and dry, cracked skin. A little goes a long way!

🤍 Calendula Whipped Tallow
Local grass-fed and finished beef tallow, slow-rendered by Waxwing and infused with their own farm-grown calendula. Whipped into a beautifully rich, nourishing moisturizer. Tallow contains fatty acids also found in human skin’s natural oils, making it a lovely emollient that helps soften dry skin and support its protective moisture barrier. It’s like food for your skin!

At Waxwing, they grow, harvest, forage, render and formulate, keeping their ingredient lists simple and letting the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves.

Black cat season is here!

I just left two cat pictures at The Commons Makers Co-op yesterday. This the season for black cats! Where do I draw my inspiration from? Again, from my daughters and their love of cats - they have three!
