FARM TO SKIN
How I got here…
I was born and raised on a feedlot outside of Ponoka and growing up on this large of a scale of a farm gave me a deep love of animal husbandry and a connection to plants. Besides growing crops for livestock feed we, much like most farming familys always had a very large garden to tend. This care for animals and plants has stuck with me through my life.
The tallow is sourced from Alberta ranchers and I work with sheep and beef and I am hoping to start working with Bison tallow soon.
I started this journey of working with tallow in the winter of 2023 and started infusing it with Roughcut herbs, flowers and all types of medicinal plants that I grew in my chemical free and organic gardens. A good friend gifted me tallow from one of her cows and I' didn’t look back as I immediately fell in love. Finally in 2024 I had the courage to start talking to people about my products and have never looked back.
This has been the most challenging, exciting and amazing journey of my life.
Meet Lesley, the creator behind the Ranch Candy.
Well if you had told me I’d be doing this 6 years ago, creating a website, starting a new business with an online store and a brand that people are starting to recognize as a household must have, I wouldn’t have believed that I would actually have the courage to do this and yet here I am!
My life has always revoled around plants, animals and the magic that happens when we live in harmony with both… with growing & then crafting small-batch herbal remedies, I’ve learned that true strength and beauty come from nature’s medicine. Ranch Candy Tallow was born from my love of old-world wisdom and my belief that skincare should be as pure, simple, and powerful as the land itself. Every hand-crafted creation is infused with the same care I give my animals and gardens—rooted in integrity, authenticity, and connection.
When I’m not stirring up a fresh batch of tallow, you’ll find me in the arena with my horses, starting seeds for the next season, talking to plants, herding cats or chasing wild sunsets.
My mission? To bring you products that are as honest, healing, and full of life as the ranch they come from.
