How I got here…
I was born and raised on a feedlot outside Ponoka, where days were shaped by animals, plants, and the rhythm of the land. Growing up on a large working farm gave me a deep respect for animal husbandry and a lifelong connection to growing things. Like most prairie families, we kept a sprawling garden, and tending it became one of the quiet joys that stayed with me.
Today, the tallow I use is sourced from premium Alberta ranchers. I work with bison, sheep and beef tallow, and I’m hoping to welcome bear tallow into the craft soon. My journey with tallow began in the winter of 2023. I started infusing it with Roughcut herbs, flowers, and the many plants I grow in my naturally tended gardens. A friend gifted me tallow from one of her cows, and from the moment I worked with it, I knew I had found something special. In 2024, I finally gathered the courage to share my creations with others — and I haven’t looked back…. now all of my tallow creations are also infused with magnesium as the results were unstoppable.
It has been challenging, exciting, and deeply rewarding. A true adventure shaped by land, livestock, and the quiet magic of a slow craft. Ranch Candy is more than skincare — it’s elemental care. Born from Alberta’s ranchlands and blended with modern herbal artistry, every jar, bottle, and cup carries the spirit of the prairie. I don’t chase trends. I honour tradition. I don’t greenwash. I render wisdom. This is old magic, made new again.
Mists
Air Element
Mist is the air element of Ranch Candy — the atmospheric ritual.
Mist moves with you, clearing, refreshing, and shifting the space around you. Mineral brines, prairie botanicals, and aromatic blends drift through the air like weather.
Each spray is a moment of intention carried on the breeze.
Garden
Fire Element
Garden is the fire element of Ranch Candy — the inner ritual. Fire tends the spirit.
This is where the harvest becomes craft: steeped, brewed, fermented, and transformed by hand.
Roughcut herbs live here — teas, fire ciders, silver, and botanicals shaped by prairie ground. Each one crafted from whole plants, hand‑cut herbs, and the quiet alchemy of the homestead.
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 revolves around plants, animals and the magic that happens when we live in harmony with both… with growing & then crafting small-batch herbal remedies for myself & my animals, I’ve learned that true strength and beauty come from nature.
Ranch Candy Tallow Artistry was born from my love of old-world wisdom and my belief that crafts can be as 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.
Roughcut is the heart of my herbalism — the part that listens to the plants first.
When I’m not stirring up a fresh batch of tallow alchemy, 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.
Whips & Lips Earth Element
Whips & Lips are the earth element of Ranch Candy — the grounding ritual.
Whips anchor you back into your body. Rendered tallow, wild herbs, and intentional craft come together in blends that feel honest, tactile, and rooted in land.
These aren’t creams or salves — they’re whips: concentrated, rugged, and shaped by the prairie itself.
