Heritage & History
Milkhouse Candle Company was born in 2002 when Eric and Janet Sparrow began making candles as a hobby in St. Ansgar, Iowa, using canning jars purchased at local farm auctions as their vessels. The charm of the farmhouse aesthetic — honest materials, simple jars, authentic scents — resonated with customers, and what began as a craft project grew into a full production operation.
The company's name references the milkhouse, the small building on dairy farms where milk is cooled and stored — a nod to Iowa's agricultural heritage and the humble origins of the Sparrow family's enterprise. Eric and Janet maintained ownership and Iowa production as Milkhouse grew from farmers markets to national distribution.
Made in St. Ansgar, Iowa
Every Milkhouse candle is hand-poured at the St. Ansgar, Iowa facility using premium soy wax made from soybeans grown in America's heartland, blended with beeswax sourced from Midwestern beekeepers. The paraffin-free formula reflects both environmental preference and a commitment to the cleanest possible burn — no petroleum byproducts, only plant-derived and natural waxes.
The Farmhouse Collection uses vintage-style canning jars with lids that allow the candle to continue as a storage jar after it burns down — a zero-waste design philosophy embedded in the product from the start. The Creamery Collection uses smooth amber glass in single and double-wick formats. Soy wax melts complete the lineup for customers who prefer flameless fragrance. All products carry 150+ hour burn times, are explicitly labeled Made in USA, and are produced entirely in Iowa.
