Can you believe this is a candle? It smells even better than it looks!!!

Welcome to Country Kitchen Candles.  We are a small family owned business located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.  We make candles and also farm organic woodland herbs.  The original idea for Country Kitchen Candles was the result of a trip to a candle company while visiting our children up north.  On the long drive home we passed the time by talking about how much better we could make the candles.  We jokingly designed “the perfect candle”… made of soy, with LOTS more scent, reasonably priced and available in a large variety of scents.  That was when my husband looked at me and said “You know we really could make that work!”  I can’t tell you how excited I was.  I had been injured a few years before and had been forced to leave my job because of the resulting health issues.  Being declared legally disabled did not sit well with me and I had been longing for a way to feel productive again.  My husband was equally bored with being retired after a long career as a Quality Control Manager for AT&T.  We go out of our way to produce the highest quality candle that can be made. 

Highest quality double scented, double wicked 100% soy candles.

We believe in giving you a top quality product for a reasonable price.  Our line of candles includes jar candles, bakery candles, tarts and tart warmers.  The bakery candles are based upon the delicious desserts my Granny used to make for me when I was a child.  I cannot capture those delicious tastes but the aroma of wonderful baked goods and fruits are double and triple scented into all our candles.  These wax sculptures are so true to life that many people have refused to believe they were candles and not actual deserts until they saw the wicks.  Restaurants and collectors seek them out for display purposes.  In addition to the bakery candles we make double scented jar candles (sometimes with even more scent added for good measure) from soy wax.  We like soy wax for our jar candles because it is an environmentally friendly alternative to the wax many candle companies use.  Think about it… Soy wax comes from soybeans grown here in America close to where we manufacture our candles.  While paraffin (the wax most other candle makers use) is a byproduct of the petroleum industry and in its manufacture and transportation leave a far larger carbon footprint.  We believe in making the right choices for the future today and we think everyone else does too.  In addition soy candles burn MUCH longer than “regular” candles so ounce for ounce you are getting an even better deal.  For our larger jar candles, we also use double wicks to allow customers the option of a more intense fragrance.  Our tarts are triple scented soy wax and after you try them many of the higher priced tarts on the market will seem weak by comparison.  Our tarts are so strong many people use them as sachets so we package them in decorative silky sachet bags and you can buy them both in individual and value packs.  We also carry tart and candle warmers for people who prefer the safety of flameless fragrance.  Remember, we adjust shipping to give you the best value possible so you can save even more by buying additional candles at the same time.
