Making the Maple Ridge Farm Books

Maple Ridge Farm is a working farm in Sydenham, Ontario where Becky, Mark, Ben and Mitchell raise grass-fed beef, pastured pork and poultry, free-range eggs, honey and cut flowers. In early October, just before the frost, Becky invited me to harvest the last flowers in her garden. I ecoprinted the petals and leaves on watercolour paper to create a limited number of blank journals and sketchbooks with covers and end pages saturated with the fall colours of Maple Ridge Farm - the perfect gift for you or someone special.
