Heritage & History

Village Candle was founded in 1996 in Wells, Maine, in a region where craft manufacturing and natural inspiration go hand-in-hand. The company set out to produce premium scented jar candles that captured the essence of New England seasons — balsam fir, wild blueberry, apple harvest, maple butter — in fragrances designed to fill a room with genuine character. From the first production run, all candle development, pouring, and testing was done at the Maine headquarters.

Over 25 years of refinement produced a candle-making operation that joined the Stonewall Kitchen Family of Brands in 2020 — a natural fit, as Stonewall Kitchen is itself a beloved Maine specialty food producer with a commitment to regional craft. The brand's growth from regional specialty to national availability reflects consistent quality: well-scented, long-burning candles produced by skilled Maine candlemakers who take pride in the craft.

Poured in Wells, Maine

Every Village Candle is designed, sourced, poured, and tested at the company's Wells, Maine headquarters. The glass apothecary jar format has become an iconic part of the brand identity — the dark-glass jars preserve fragrance integrity while giving the candles a refined appearance that works in modern and traditional home settings alike. The proprietary scent development process begins in Maine with fragrance profiles inspired by the New England landscape and seasonal calendar.

The product line includes large 21.25-ounce apothecary jar candles with burn times of 150+ hours, medium 16-ounce glass jar candles, and seasonal limited editions. Fragrance pillars include Wild Maine Blueberry, Balsam Fir, Maple Butter, Pure Linen, Creamy Vanilla, Gardenia, and Summer Slices — a range spanning fresh-outdoor, botanical, and comfort-food scent profiles. For consumers who want genuinely American-made scented candles with authentic regional character and artisan craft tradition, Village Candle's Maine production delivers a quality that mass-market candle brands cannot replicate.
