FAQs

What is the best way to burn a Farmers Candle Co candle?

The recommended burn time is 2-3 hours depending on the size of your jar. Be sure to trim the wick to 1/4" before each lighting to prevent the hemp wick from curling and creating the "mushroom" effect. Trim your wick with the pinch of your finger, scissors, or wick trimmer. Be sure to never leave wick trimmings, matches, or any other debris in the candle jar. Never leave a burning candle out of view. 

What are our candles made of?

All Farmers Candle Co candles are made of a mixture of grass-fed & grass-finished beef tallow, beeswax, and a blend of essential oils and premium grade phthalate-free fragrance oils. They burn with a hemp wick coated in beeswax. They are entirely free of synthetic dyes, lead, paraffin, soy, and phthalates.

How long do our candles burn?

The mixture of tallow and beeswax that we use burns very similar to soy. You can expect each ounce in the candle to burn between 7-8 hours. Our 1.5 ounce mini candle will burn 10+ hours, 3.5 ounce candles will burn 25+ hours, 7.0 ounce candles will burn 50+ hours, and our 13.5 ounce candle will burn 100+ hours.

How do your tin wax melts work?

We are proud to be a plastic free company as much as possible, that especially includes packaging. Our wax melts are packaged in flat tin, screw top containers. The wax mixture they hold is meant to be melted inside the tin container. Simply remove the lid, place the tin on top of your electric wax warmer, allow the wax to melt and the scent to fill your space. When you are finished simply turn off the electric wax melter and wait for the wax mixture to resolidify inside the tin then screw the top back on. Because the tin wax melt absorbs heat more slowly as compared to a traditional candle it allows the melt to release the scent without burning it off. The tin wax melts will be fragrant for 30+ hours to melt time.

What should I do with the glass container when I'm done with my candle?

Once your candle is burned down to 1/4" put the glass container in your freezer and pop the remaining tallow and beeswax mixture out. Once the wax mixture is removed wash your glass jar in warm soapy water, this will remove any left over wax as well as release the wick holder on the bottom of the jar. Once the container is completely cleaned out keep your pens in it to brighten up your desk space, hold make up brushes in it to spruce up your vanity, or plant a succulent to bring a little green into your life.
