At Caribou Gifts, we take pride in curating products that tell a story, support local artisans, and bring a bit of wit and warmth to your daily routine. Today, we are shining the spotlight on Walton Wood Farm, an Ontario-based brand that embodies the spirit of rural entrepreneurship and high-quality self-care.
The Story Behind the Farm
Walton Wood Farm wasn’t born in a boardroom; it was born on a historic 1850s farm in Ontario. Founded by Leslie Bradford-Scott, the brand began with a mission to create products that are as ethical as they are effective. What started with a single "Winter's a B*tch" hand tin in a rural kitchen has grown into a beloved collection of body care, grooming, and lifestyle products that celebrate the beauty of North American farm life.
As a family-owned and operated business, they remain committed to the values that started it all: protecting heritage, supporting local communities, and ensuring that no harsh chemicals ever make it into their recipes.
