Welcome to Farmhouse Friends! Our Story and who we are!

Welcome to Farmhouse Friends, where we handcraft more than just toys—we build memories, foster creativity, and celebrate the joys of a happy, playful childhood. Our story began in an unexpected but meaningful way, and we’re excited to share the values and vision that guide every piece we create.

The Inspiration Behind Farmhouse Friends

Farmhouse Friends started with a simple project for the local fall fair. My wife, who shares my love for children and all things creative, asked me to help her make wooden cars for the fair. It was just a small endeavor at first, but as we worked together, a spark ignited—a passion for crafting toys that would bring joy to children, stand the test of time, and carry a story. We poured our hearts into those little cars, and they became the foundation for what is now Farmhouse Friends.

Our lives have always centered around children; both my wife and I have dedicated years to working with and caring for kids. Growing up as one of twelve children—half of us whom were adopted—I learned early on the value of family, resilience, and the beauty of being a part of something bigger than oneself. This background has shaped our commitment to creating toys that foster connection and carry a deeper meaning.

Our Commitment to Quality and Craftsmanship

Each Farmhouse Friends toy is crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality, using locally sourced, sustainable materials that reflect the craftsmanship we believe in. We know that children’s play can be rigorous, so we design our toys to withstand years of love and adventure. When you buy a toy from Farmhouse Friends, you’re not just purchasing a product; you’re investing in something that’s built to last and intended to be handed down through generations.

We work closely with talented Canadian artisans, sharing our dedication to quality and to building something timeless. Every toy is crafted to meet the highest standards, ensuring that it’s safe, durable, and, most importantly, brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to families.

What Makes Farmhouse Friends Unique

In a world filled with disposable toys, Farmhouse Friends stands for the beauty of simplicity and the importance of imagination. Our designs are intentionally open-ended, giving children the freedom to create their own stories and adventures. From sturdy mini trucks and classic sailboats to whimsical airplanes and helicopters, to building blocks and creative stackers, our toys invite children to explore, dream, and discover. Each piece is crafted with care to evoke a sense of wonder and a connection to the past, blending modern quality with a timeless appeal.

Our Vision for the Future

At Farmhouse Friends, we believe in the magic of a safe and innocent childhood, one where children can play, dream, and be celebrated. We want to make toys that help inspire a culture that sees children’s play as a cherished part of growing up. Our toys are crafted not just for today but to be heirlooms—pieces that carry memories and stories from one generation to the next. By creating toys that last, we’re advocating for a world where childhood is a time of joy, curiosity, and imagination.

Thank you for being a part of the Farmhouse Friends story. With every toy we craft, we honor our commitment to quality, family, and the beauty of childhood. We hope our toys will become a treasured part of your family’s story, just as they have become a part of ours. Welcome to Farmhouse Friends—where we build joy and tradition, one toy at a time.
