About Us

On a quiet hilltop in rural Virginia sits our family farmhouse — the heart and home of Homestead Glow.

Hi, I’m Katelyn — wife, mother of two amazing girls, Newborn nurse, and the founder of Homestead Glow. Life is full, beautiful, and often busy. Between caring for fragile little lives at the hospital and spending my days playing, laughing, and creating memories with my girls, I’ve learned how important it is to create moments of stillness.

For me, lighting a candle is more than décor — it’s a pause. A breath. A reset.

Candles have a way of centering any space and elevating the everyday. That’s why I’m passionate about crafting fragrances that feel warm, inviting, calming, joyful, and uplifting — scents that make your home feel like your favorite place to be. In fact, some of our best-selling scents were chosen by my toughest (and sweetest) critics — my girls and husband.

Each Homestead Glow candle is thoughtfully hand-poured in small batches in the heart of our home. We use pure soy wax, cotton wicks, and a blend of essential and premium fragrance oils that are free from parabens and phthalates and are always animal friendly. Every wick is carefully sized to prevent tunneling and create a strong, beautiful hot throw that fills your space with fragrance.

Our signature clear jars and clean sleek labels are intentionally designed with a minimalist aesthetic to complement any home décor style.

Many of our candle names and fragrances are inspired by cherished family memories — moments that mean the most to us and that we hope will become part of your story, too.

While candle-making is at the heart of what we do, we also love supporting fellow small businesses. At our storefront in Glen Allen, Virginia, you’ll find thoughtfully curated home décor and accessories from other makers we admire — pieces chosen to bring warmth and beauty into your space.

From our farmhouse to your home, thank you for being here.

  "Scent memory is magic that can transport you back to any place, emotion or memory in an instant.  My mission is creating beautiful, clean burning candles to glow in the hearts of memories to come for you and your family."  Thank you for choosing Homestead Glow!
