Local purveyor Wild Dog Farms
has been gaining a reputation for its handcrafted natural products, like natural
goat milk soap and pure beeswax candles. However it’s one particular product—the
packs of 18 slender beeswax birthday candles—that have us excited about
the yearly aging ritual. The candles feature natural fibre wicks and contain no
added dyes or perfume for a super-green celebration—and no more paraffin
dripping onto your cake! Available at McNally Robinson Booksellers, Organza Market
and online organic store Eat It (eatit.ca).—Alison
