Many of you may not know how Yesterway Candles came to be, so I thought I’d share a little of the story behind it.
I’ve always loved candles but a few years ago, my niece started sharing some of what she had learned about the toxins found in many traditional candles, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of research. The more I learned, the more I realized I didn’t feel comfortable burning most store-bought candles in our home anymore.
So, I started learning how to make clean, non-toxic candles that we could enjoy safely ourselves. What began as a personal project quickly turned into something I truly loved doing.
As I got more confident in candle making and blending scents, I started thinking maybe I could sell a few candles to help support another passion of mine…our horses. We raise Drum horses on a small scale, and let me tell you, these big boys and girls can EAT.
What started around our kitchen table has grown into something that now helps support two things I love deeply: creating clean, cozy candles for people’s homes and caring for these oversized hay-burning beauties.
When you support Yesterway, you’re supporting a real family, a quality product, alot of hard work, and a barn full of hungry horses.
We truly appreciate every order more than you know.
These are two of our “hungry hippos” with our kiddos. 🤍
