Essential Oil Candles...

Currently, we are working on a new project. Beeswax candles are by far our most favorite candles. About 4 years ago, we wanted to add these to our product line, but we were just not quite ready. Last year, we attempted to make them and add them again, and it just wasn't the right timing. Now, we are ready! Beeswax candles burn so clean, and smell great just by themselves, but we had the idea to add scents. Not fake scents, but the real thing! Essential oil aromatherapy combined with the clean, sweet beeswax scent is amazing! So far, our favorite blend is Peppermint and Lime. It is very subtle, and makes you want to leave the room and come back, over and over again just to get that first taste (or smell) of the the freshly lit candle. Here are some pics of our travel size. They make a great addition to any bathroom or kitchen. We like to keep them stored, unlit, on window sills or right at the headboard. Availability will be soon!

New shows...New products...


We are pleased to announce that our new Herbal Balms are now ready! Production is a little slow, but we are getting faster! This weekend we will be in Asheville at a Holiday Show. We are very excited about this opportunity to bring our company to new area! If you happen to be in Asheville this weekend, be sure to check out " Holiday in the Mountains" near the airport. While we are there, we plan on visiting the Grover Arcade in downtown Asheville to see other creative minds at work. We love local growers and local business's. Be sure and check out our Facebook page for up-to-date information on where we will be this winter. The farm is still doing well. We have been juicing kale like crazy and eating a lot of chickens! Several people that purchased turkeys from us have reported that they are really good, so we are looking forward to our holiday meals as well! We have tons of lettuce...too bad tomatoes are out of season. Enjoy your fall, and have a good winter!
