Where it all began.
Starting off as a hobby in 2002, Janet and Eric Sparrow began making candles in their home kitchen, using canning jars bought at local auctions. They shared their creations with friends, family, and co-workers, and suddenly they started getting more requests for candles.
Beginning of an Era.
Eric and Janet have strong ties to agricultural America. It’s their Midwest upbringing that inspired the creation of a cleaner, healthier candle experience.
Before long, interest in their clean-burning candles skyrocketed, and their hobby quickly transformed into a full-time job.
Rapidly Growing Nationwide
Years after the original candles were produced, Milkhouse has grown into a thriving company that continues to produce soy and beeswax candles.
The Milkhouse blend of waxes is simple: pure beeswax and natural soy wax from soybeans grown in America’s Midwest. No artificial dyes are added and there is no lead in the wicks. Our blend of waxes provides a safe and clean-burning alternative to paraffin candles
