These products earn extra points for their sustainability efforts on top of already being from a local maker. Buying products from across the world or the U.S. leave an immense carbon footprint from airplane transport to truck transport. Thank you for supporting our local makers who help us leave a minimal carbon footprint!

Soy Candles
Did you know ALL of our candles are made from soy, not beeswax? Soy candles are bio-degradable, non-carcinogenic, produces less soot, and vegan. With many species of bees becoming endangered, we steer clear of any bee cruelty. We depend on those hard-working bees to pollinate all of our crops and flowers—not for candles. Here is one of our spring favorite soy candle, which comes with seeds to plant!
