We Can Finally Tell You!

Limited supplies- family made
Our candles are made with the highest quality materials on the market and hand-poured carefully in the shop. We use eco-friendly soy wax, cotton core wicks, and the finest quality oils. They are lead free, phthalate free, paraffin free, and dye free. Soy candles burn incredibly clean and slow while throwing a wonderful scent for hours! We use the maximum amount of scent the wax can hold so you'll be sure to have a great smelling candle.
In today's video we work to tie the wood portion of our A-Frame Addition together with the block safe room. Our concrete pour happens this week but, in the mean time we are taking you to our Café and showing you how we produce our candles. We are so excited that we can finally tell you about this project!

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.
