Behind every Acre75 Gathered Box is a group of amazing small town makers with stories just as unique as their Canadian made products. Their creativity and passion are what make each box so special and we're excited to share their stories with you!
Our 2025 Spring Acre75 Gathered Box featured a Foaming Mineral Bath Salt from aweSOAP Co. Kat's mission is to create clean, natural products — something truly good for the skin, free from harmful chemicals, and made with intention. What began as a passion project in her kitchen quickly grew into aweSOAP Co. — a brand dedicated to beautiful, effective, and non-toxic soaps, candles, and skincare.
Meet Kat from aweSOAP Co.
Kat loves the creative freedom owning a small business gives her. She has always been an independent soul with a drive to create something of her own. From a young age, she knew she didn’t fit into the same box as everyone else — she needed to build something that truly fulfilled her. This journey has given her not just an outlet for creativity, but also a sense of purpose and connection. Seeing her ideas come to life, making products that people love, and knowing that what she creates has a positive impact is incredibly rewarding to her. 🥰
Kat enjoys the strong sense of community in her small town — everyone looks out for each other in a way that feels rare these days. When she started her business, her neighbours were some of her biggest supporters, helping her spread the word and cheering her on. It’s that kind of kindness and connection that makes Mount Forest feel like home. 🏡
If Kat could travel anywhere in Canada, she would choose Tofino, BC. She loves nature and being outside, and the idea of experiencing the beauty of the West Coast, with its small-town charm, is beyond amazing. Exploring the Canadian rainforests, walking along the stunning beaches, and just soaking in the wild, untamed beauty of the Pacific Ocean sounds like an absolute dream to Kat. 🇨🇦
