Opening weekend is almost here and Willow Run has been BUSY in the best way. 🌿

The freeze dryer has been running nonstop, we’re stocking shelves, labeling products, putting the finishing touches on the stand, and soaking in every second of bringing this dream to life.

Over the last few days we welcomed 5 new adult female ducks to the farm, our hatchlings have formed their own tiny little friend group, and today Rainbow — one of the hens we adopted back in December — finally ate out of my hand for the first time. 🤍

Small moments like that make all the hard work worth it.

We are so excited to officially welcome everyone for opening weekend and wanted to share a little peek at what you can expect at the stand:

🌾 Freeze-dried treats
🥚 Fresh chicken + duck eggs
🕯️ Hand-poured tallow candles
🧼 Non-toxic home + kitchen goods
🍓 Seasonal homemade goodies
🌿 A cozy little farm stand built with love, community, and intention

Willow Run Acres was created from a dream to make clean food and clean ingredients feel accessible, welcoming, and community-centered — and we are so grateful you’re here watching it all come to life.

We can’t wait to see you next weekend! 🐓🦆🤍

One small swap can make a big difference in your home. 🌿✨

Our Solid Dish Soap Bars are a simple, effective way to cut down on plastic without sacrificing clean dishes. Pair it with a dish brush and you’ve got a beautiful low-waste kitchen staple that actually works. 🤍

How to use:
• Wet your dish brush
• Rub directly onto the soap bar
• Create a rich, foamy lather
• Scrub dishes clean ✨

That’s it. No plastic bottles. No harsh fragrances. No residue left behind.

Lightly scented with lemon, rosemary, and basil essential oils for a fresh, clean scent that feels like sunshine in the kitchen. 🍋🌿

Each bar is handcrafted in small batches and cured for a minimum of 4 weeks to create a long-lasting, hard bar of soap made with intentional ingredients.

Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Water, Essential Oil Blend of Lemon, Rosemary & Basil.

These bars (plus matching dish brushes 👀) will be available opening weekend at Willow Run Acres 🐓🌾

There’s something special about lighting a candle made from ingredients you can actually recognize. 🤍

Our 8 oz Tallow Candles are hand-poured in small batches using a simple blend of grass-fed tallow, organic beeswax, and pure essential oils — no paraffin, no mystery fragrances, no harsh chemicals.

Available in beautiful beveled green or clear glass jars with bamboo lids to keep them fresh between burns. 🌿

You can pick between 2 scents:
🍦Franckincense & Vanilla
🍊Sweet Orange & Eucalyptus

Why we love them:
• A cleaner, more natural burn
• Slow-burning for longer-lasting candles
• Lightly scented with essential oils
• Thoughtfully made to fully honor and utilize all parts of the animal we consume

Simple ingredients. Cozy homes. Intentional living. ✨

These will be available during opening weekend at Willow Run Acres next weekend — along with our other handmade homestead goods, freeze-dried treats, and farm favorites. 🐓🕯️🌾

Tiny hands deserve the cleanest ingredients too 🐻🫧🤍

Introducing our Tallow Soap for Little Ones — handcrafted animal-shaped soaps made especially for the sweetest babes in your life.

We took our beloved tallow soap recipe and thoughtfully adjusted it to create a gentle, nourishing bar ideal for delicate skin. Made with grass-fed & finished tallow and calendula-infused olive oil, these bars are rich in skin-loving vitamins, nutrients, and moisturizing fatty acids that help support soft, healthy skin without stripping away its natural oils.

Each soap is:
• Handcrafted in small batches
• Made with intentional, high-quality ingredients
• Naturally rich in glycerin for extra moisture
• Cured for a minimum of 4 weeks for a long-lasting, creamy lather
• Free from harsh detergents and unnecessary fillers

The result? A mild, creamy soap that leaves little skin feeling soft, clean, and nourished after every bath.

And because bath time should feel a little magical ✨ each bar comes in adorable animal shapes your little ones will actually be excited to use.

Simple ingredients. Gentle skincare. Made with love for the littlest members of the homestead 🌿

Coming soon to Willow Run Acres.

Summer evenings, garden walks, chicken chores, barefoot babies, and less worry about what’s going on your skin 🌿✨

Introducing our Bug Off Tallow Lotion Bar — a nourishing, waterless moisturizer crafted with simple ingredients and designed for everyday outdoor living.

Unlike conventional lotions filled with water, fillers, and preservatives, our lotion bars are made with clean, intentional ingredients that melt directly into your skin for deep moisture and effortless application.

Simply warm the bar in your hands or glide it onto your skin and let your body heat do the rest 🤍

Perfect for:
• Gardening days
• Farm chores
• Camping trips
• Evening bonfires
• Porch sitting
• Little feet running barefoot through the grass

Formulated to help moisturize dry skin while featuring thoughtfully selected ingredients traditionally known for their naturally bug-repelling properties, this bar was made to be your go-to companion for outdoor living.

And because we believe skincare should be simple, it’s packaged in a reusable screw-top tin that easily tucks into your purse, diaper bag, garden tote, or travel kit.

Simple ingredients. Functional skincare. Farm life approved 🌞🐓

Golden glow, but make it nourishing ✨🍯

Introducing our Honey Turmeric Tallow Face Bar Soap — thoughtfully handcrafted with skin-loving ingredients designed to gently cleanse while supporting your skin barrier, not stripping it.

Made with:
• Grass-fed & finished tallow for deep, rich moisture
• Raw Manuka honey to naturally hydrate and support blemish-prone skin
• Golden turmeric to brighten and calm the complexion
• Frankincense essential oil to support skin tone, elasticity, and a balanced, radiant glow

This bar was created especially with sensitive, acne-prone, and mature skin in mind (not for children use). Gentle enough for daily use, yet effective enough to leave your skin feeling soft, clean, and refreshed after every wash.

And because each bar is truly handcrafted, you may notice a soft white powdery appearance on the surface — this is called soda ash, a completely natural and harmless part of traditional soapmaking. It does not affect the quality or performance of your soap and rinses away with first use.

Simple ingredients. Intentional skincare. No unnecessary junk. 🤍

Coming soon to Willow Run Acres 🌿
