🕯️ From Jail Cell to Joyful Sanctuary – The Magic Behind Homestead Candles 🕯️✨ What if we told you the coziest candle you’ve ever owned was made in a jail cell? 😲 Meet Sharon, the heart and hands behind Homestead Candle Company in the charming town of Dundas, Ontario — where history meets heart in the most unexpected way. Sharon transformed a former community jail at King & Main into a glowing space filled with 100% organic soy wax candles, each hand-poured with love, purpose, and a dash of magic. Her creations aren’t just candles — they’re memories in a jar: 🌿 “Me Time” soothes you with lavender + eucalyptus 🌸 “Catching Fireflies” brings back sweet summer nights 🌲 “Dundas Peak” whisks you away with pine + birch 🍋 “Spencer Forge” energizes with lemon + water lily 🔥 “Dundas 1847” is a time-travel blend of cardamom, tobacco & cinnamon Now you can even take that cozy feeling on the go with oil-saving car diffusers 🚗 — good vibes, no waste. ✨ 8 years of spreading calm, one candle at a time ✨ Clean, safe scents for kids and pets ✨ Always made with love, right here in the community And speaking of community… 💃 Sharon recently lit up more than candles at Canada on the Farm — she joined the danceScape Dance Challenge and brought her joyful energy to the dance floor! From hand-pouring wax to stepping into new moves, she reminded us that it’s never too late to have fun, try something new, and shine your light. 🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Morden’s Organic Farm Store for connecting amazing people, small businesses, and surrounding communities in such meaningful ways.

🔥😂 What Firefighters Will Do to Avoid Dancing… This has to be one of the funniest moments from Canada Day “On the Farm” @MordensOrganicFarmStore! Robert from @danceScape was interviewing the incredible team from the Hamilton Fire Department (Greensville) — Eric, Leah, and Isiah — about their inspiring work as firefighters. Everything was going great... 💬 Fire safety tips for families ✅ 💬 Cool facts about Rescue 25 ✅ 💬 Love for serving the community ✅ Then Robert threw in the twist: 🕺 “So… are you ready for a Dance challenge?” 🚨 Cue the sirens! Suddenly, an emergency call came in and the team jumped into their firetruck and sped off in seconds. Talk about perfect timing! 😆 It was the great firefighter dance escape! 😂 🎉 Thanks to Morden’s Organic Farm Store for hosting such a fun, family-friendly Canada Day event — featuring local vendors, farm animals, and healthy, organic food. 💃 Shoutout to danceScape student members for participating in the line dancing and sharing their energy, smiles, and confidence with the community!
