Farmwicks Candle Co.: A Blackstone Business Crafting Memories One Scent at a Time

Nestled in the heart of Blackstone, Massachusetts, Farmwicks Candle Co. is a testament to the power of love, nostalgia, and craftsmanship. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Krissy and Rich, who first met as preteens on a school bus, their journey together has grown into a shared passion for creating handcrafted candles and home fragrances that bring warmth and comfort to any space.

For owner Kristine Doyle, operating in a close-knit community like Blackstone is incredibly fulfilling.

“We get to engage with our customers on a personal level, building relationships that go beyond transactions,” Krissy shares. “It’s all about creating something special that reflects the heart of not only our journey but that of our town, adding to the spirit of our local community!“

Each candle is meticulously hand-poured in small batches from their home, ensuring quality and attention to detail. Committed to using the finest ingredients sourced within the USA, Farmwicks Candle Co. products are paraben-free, phthalate-free, vegan, and never tested on animals. Their ethical approach ensures a clean, safe burn while filling homes with inviting scents that rekindle fond memories and inspire cozy new moments. And while the word “candle” might evoke a burning wick, Farmwicks Candle Co. has embraced a different path—focusing entirely on wickless options that eliminate smoke and flame while delivering lasting fragrance and comfort.

Krissy explains, “Creating scent stories is a personal journey for me, drawing inspiration from my own memories and interactions. I especially love hearing how our customers connect with our fragrances too. When someone tells me a particular scent brings back memories, it truly warms my heart. These shared memories and stories inspire me to craft fragrances that evoke nostalgia and celebrate the moments we hold dear and ones we hope to experience in the future.“

Behind every Farmwicks Candle Co. product is a meticulous, hands-on process that often goes unseen. From the careful sourcing of high-quality ingredients to the thoughtful blending of each fragrance, every candle and body product is the result of time, intention, and craftsmanship. Items are made in small batches to ensure consistency and quality, with each one undergoing testing before it ever reaches a customer. It’s a labor of love—one that reflects the company’s deep pride in their work and their commitment to delivering something truly special.

More Than Just Candles

Farmwicks Candle Co. offers more than just beautifully crafted candles. Their product line includes wax melts, room and linen sprays, goat’s milk soaps, body scrubs, body mists, beard oils, and lotions—each designed to encourage relaxation and appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. Whether you’re looking for a signature scent for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone special, Farmwicks provides a variety of high-quality, handcrafted options.

Krissy shares “Our Dirty Dog Shampoo Bars are a special addition to our product line and always generate fun pup stories that bring big smiles to all around us! These stories fill me with pride and highlight the impact my creations can have on others’ lives, just as they have on mine.“

For those planning special occasions, Farmwicks also takes bulk orders for events such as baby showers, bridal parties, real estate closings, and corporate gatherings. With customizable packaging options, they help make any event more memorable by adding a personal touch to their products.
