A Family Dream,
Rooted in Adams County

Our Candlemaking Dream

Inspired by Family, Fueled by Love

Iron Apple Candleworks is an adventure inspired by family, our love of Adams County PA, and all good smelling things! My name is Brady, and together with my niece Nayleen, we started Iron Apple Candleworks!

Our journey into candle making started because of grandma's love of candles. Whether it's something delicious cooking in the kitchen or candles burning, Grandma's house always smells delicious.

Luke's grandma (my mom) has been suffering from chronic migraines for years. Test after test with no answers. It was in our search to find answers that we discovered paraffin wax candles can cause migraines!

It was that moment that we set out to create a clean burning, great smelling candle that grandma loves! We are thrilled to say we've created clean burning coconut apricot wax candles that are grandma approved!

What We Stand For

Clean Ingredients

Our coconut apricot wax burns clean without the harmful toxins found in traditional paraffin candles. Safe for your family, safe for grandma.

Adams County Proud

Our family has lived in Adams County for generations. Our candles honor the history, heritage, and hard work that define the home we love.

Community First

From nonprofit fundraising to supporting local causes, we believe in giving back to the community that has given us so much.

Our Craft

Handcrafted with Purpose

Coconut Apricot Wax

A luxury wax that delivers a smooth, creamy top with an even burn every time. No soot, no toxins.

Wood Wicks

We use high quality wood wicks because we love the crackling sound as your home fills with uniquely blended scents.

Unique Scent Blends

Every fragrance is thoughtfully crafted to capture the spirit of Adams County — from orchard harvests to historic moments.

Meet the Founders

Brady & Nayleen

What started as a mission to find safe candles for grandma became a full-fledged family business. Together, we pour every candle by hand, blend every scent with care, and put our hearts into every product that leaves our workshop.

We hope you enjoy our candles and other products! Thank you for joining us on this journey and stay tuned for what we create next!
