About Me

Hi, I’m Carrie.

I’m the founder, formulator, and maker behind Fosters Fields. My journey into the world of natural home essentials started back in 2012 in my kitchen in Durham, Ontario. What began as a personal quest to find safer products for my own home has grown into a dedicated business, now located in Hanover, Ontario.

From My Hands to Your Home

While my family is my biggest support system, when you buy from Fosters Fields, you are getting a product truly made by hand. I personally handle every single step of the process. From researching and formulating original recipes to pouring candles, cutting soap bars, and carefully packaging each order—I am the hands behind each step.

This "maker-to-consumer" approach ensures that I know exactly what goes into every batch, allowing me to maintain the highest standards for quality and safety.

Why Sensitive Skin & Eco-Friendly?

My mission is rooted in a deep commitment to providing safe, earth-friendly options for your family and mine.

1. Clean Burning: I started with candles, fueled by a passion for a cleaner burn. I chose soy wax for its sustainable, low-soot qualities, ensuring your home stays as fresh as it smells.

2. Skin-First Solutions: Inspired by my family’s own struggles with skin sensitivities, I ventured into the art of cold-process soap making. It was a steep learning curve, but I was determined to create a bar that was as luxurious as it was gentle. I wanted a soap that smelled amazing without ever compromising on skin safety.

3. Earth-Conscious Packaging: Being eco-friendly doesn't stop at the ingredients. I work hard to ensure my packaging is as sustainable as possible to minimize our footprint. Honestly, finding the right eco-friendly packaging has been even harder than making the products themselves!

Where to Find Me

You can find my collection of soaps and clean-burning soy candles at select local retailers, or you can book an appointment to visit my home office. For those who love to shop online with home delivery, my website is open 24 hours a day for your shopping pleasure!

I am so grateful for the loyal customers who have supported this journey since 2012. Thank you for letting me help you create a safer, more natural home—one handmade creation at a time.
