our story

a small candle shop in a small wheat town.

waitsburg candle co. pours every candle by hand at 208 main street. each scent is a character, and each character is the kind of person you’d meet at the post office, the mill or the river: invented, but true to this town.

we pour in small batches and let every candle cure for two weeks before it goes on the shelf, so it smells as good lit as it does with the lid off.

  • waxcoconut + soy blend, no paraffin
  • wickorganic hemp, beeswax-coated
  • batchessmall, poured and labeled by hand
  • curetwo weeks before sale
visit
