Homestead Candles & Scents: Bringing the Farm Home

Homestead Candles & Scents: Bringing the Farm Home

Sep 01, 2026Nick Steiner

Homestead is the newest addition to our product range, and it's a slightly different kind of purchase — something for the home, not the pantry or the bar.

 

Every candle and reed diffuser in the range is hand-poured with care, in partnership with Kel Connolly at Blackandles, using natural ingredients and small-batch production rather than a mass-produced formula.

 

The idea behind Homestead is simple: bring a little bit of farm and homestead life into your own home, through scent — natural, simple, purposeful, exactly as the name promises.

 

Scents include Espresso and Vanilla Bean.

 

As with everything else we sell, the purpose runs deeper than the product. Every Homestead candle funds 10 meals for Australian families experiencing food insecurity, and we're currently developing a gift box option to make it an even easier present for Christmas or any other occasion.

 

Homestead is launching as a pre-order — we're releasing it in limited first-run batches rather than mass-producing from day one, which means pre-ordering now is the best way to guarantee you're part of that first wave. It also helps us plan production properly, rather than guessing at demand.

 

If you've already got a favourite candle brand, we're not asking you to give it up forever — just to try one from a range where the story behind it is as considered as the scent itself. Light one, and you've quietly funded a week of meals for a family who needed them.
