Candles with Midwest roots and honest warmth.
Where It All Began
Milkhouse Candles began in 2002 as a hobby in Janet and Eric Sparrow's kitchen, where they hand-poured candles into canning jars for friends and family. As demand grew, their passion became a full-time business.
Inspired by their Midwest roots, they remain committed to creating clean-burning candles made with a simple blend of natural soy wax from American-grown soybeans and pure beeswax. With no artificial dyes and lead-free cotton wicks, Milkhouse has now handcrafted more than 32 million candles—while staying true to their mission of making candles the right way.
