Vendor of the Month: Kim's Soy Kandles

Kim is one of our original market vendors and a resident of Harvest Green! She started Kim's Soy Kandles about 5 years ago while trying to find cleaner and healthier candles for her family that wouldn't trigger allergies or asthma. Eventually she decided to start making her own! All of the candles she offers are hand-poured, non-toxic, and phthalate and paraben free. She offers personalized candle labels which make perfect gifts. Make sure to check out her booth at the market this month or order from her shop here.

This event takes place during the market and is free to attend. You can learn more here.
