Join us on December 12 at 7 pm for an added class where you will create handmade Christmas ornaments using vibrant alcohol inks. No prior experience necessary (not one of these attendees had done this before or had even painted!)
You can find the class on our website sageandsolace.ca/workshops.
Here is a short recap of our alcohol ink class that took place last night. It was a blast and everyone went home with ornaments that they loved. Thank-you to all of you who took a chance to try this new activity with no art experience. There were skeptics at the beginning but look at these happy faces and those incredible ornaments!
We have a Christmas watercolour class next weekend that has a few spots left and there just may be another one of these classes scheduled as many of you have been asking for a different date. Let me know in the comments if this interests you and if evenings or weekends work better for you.

No experience required to learn how to paint with alcohol inks. I can guarantee you will be smitten once you try this! There are only 2 spots left for this Thursday evening’s class. Pick your own colour combinations to create something that will work with your decor or give someone special a handmade gift. Link is in the bio.
PS If you cannot make your own but would like a set for yourself or to give as gifts send me a DM.

Join Rachel Kiers and Barb Pearson to create a striking bespoke wreath that includes the art of blending sustainably grown botanicals and unexpected materials to craft a wreath that will elevate your seasonal decor.
This is not your typical Christmas wreath but an invitation to imagine the season through the lens of wild crafted elegance and artistry. You will learn the art of blending natural textures and an evocative form to create a wreath that is uniquely yours. It will transcend traditional holiday decor and an invitation to imagine the season using your unique creative expression.
You can feel good about creating a wreath that will be fully sustainable and use botanicals grown on Sage and Solace Farm including the wreath form!
We are offering 2 classes:
Friday Nov 29; 1:30 to 3:30
Thursday December 5; 7-9.
Check out the link in the bio for all of our seasonal offerings.
See you on the farm!

We have been doing the fall clean up on the farm and I am delighted to see the plants that continue to send forth blossoms despite the challenging conditions they have been facing. Take these anemones for example. They will continue to bloom until frost ends their life cycle. They may be a little worse for wear (like I feel at this age) but they continue to give it their all and there is a lesson to be learned from them. Cutting them back is an exercise in patience but I know that I am tucking them in for the winter and they will be back! Like them, I will use the winter to restore, to reflect and to recharge my soul. I wish the same for you.
This fall is particularly emotional for me as I may not be here to experience the beauty that will be bursting forth in seasons to come depending on when the farm sells, but I know that first and foremost I am a steward of the garden, and of any piece of the earth on which I find myself, and will make it my mission to leave it in the healthiest condition I possibly can. And that brings me peace.
“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.” —May Sarton

Come join us on December 7 at 2 pm when guest instructor @liana_majed , a talented artist and instructor, is at the farm to teach you how to create festive watercolour motifs so you can create one of a kind Christmas cards or gifts for your friends and family.
Liana had taught at Sage and Solace before and the class participants loved her and all went home with works of art that they were delighted with.
(The great photos of Liana on the farm were taken by the talented @amoriamade. Isn’t that one with the geese spectacular? ).
Please share far and wide and support local artists and small business. 🙏

It is time to harvest these divine Golden Hops! We are going to be drying some to make wreaths and garlands but we have an abundance so if you would like to purchase some for your business or your own projects reach out and we can ensure you get some.
Everything on our farm is grown organically without the use of any sprays so if you are a beer maker these are for you too.

MOVIE NIGHT AT SAGE AND SOLACE 🎥🍿
We’re honoured to be chosen to host a showing of @commongroundfilm here at the farm on September 21!
As a sustainable farm that actively practises regenerative farming, this movie and its message are very close to our hearts. This documentary profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of farmers using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate and save our health, in the face of a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system.
Tickets are $10 and all profits will be donated to @fvconservancy
We hope to see you there! 🍿
Have you been to the u-pick yet? 🌼
We’ve opened up 5 more spots each night so more people can enjoy the blooms!
Be sure to grab your tickets 🎟️ before they sell out again. 🤍
The blooms are bursting and there are limitless choices right now to create multiple floral arrangements! A guest celebrating her 40th birthday here last week had a long table dinner in the garden and so we created arrangements for the tables that allowed her friends to see each other but yet still enjoy the beauty. Given i am so smitten with the colour palette I made some for my great room. The ones in the round vase are Wine Eyed Jill dahlias, they have to be one of my favourites.
We are offering our Dazzling Dahlia class this Thursday and there are 2 spots available if you wish to create something for your home. We also will make custom orders if you have any special occasions coming up or just want to spoil yourself.
