making Tree Farm: an interview with Vintage Porch

It's that time of year again...

🌲 Tree Farm by Vintage Porch is here! 🌲

As usual, we're kicking off the holiday season right with one of our most hilarious friends: Natalie from Vintage Porch! ❤ This sweet lady is, in her own words, "the CEO, the CFO, the all the O's, the Manager, the Assistant Manager, The Assistant Manager to the Regional Manager of My Vintage Porch blog." (She had us at The Office jokes! 🤣)

Creating a candle with Natalie back in 2019 was SO AMAZING. Year after year, Tree Farm is ALWAYS a friend favorite! 😉 It is truly one of our most unique and beloved fragrances...and for good reason! 👇

Read Natalie's thoughts on the making of this cozy, nostalgic scent... ✨

How did you decide on the fragrance for Tree Farm? 🌲

How fun was the testing process for Tree Farm? 🤩

Antique Candle Co.® sent me about about 12 different candles and then we narrowed it down to probably 5 of what we really liked the most. A lot of sniffing was going on around here! We tested different candles on different days, we put them in different rooms to see how they filled the space...AND I would always burn one right before my husband came through the door that way he could tell me if that was the one he liked!

In the end, it was between 2 different scents and then we decided on this pine scent, and I'm SO glad we did! It's amazing!

What is your favorite thing about Tree Farm? ❤

What I love about this candle is it just has that warm, pine-y scent...almost like I'm walking through a tree farm or a forest! When my kids were younger, we always used to cut down a fresh tree for Christmas and that's what this candle reminds me of! It just makes me feel warm and homey when we're burning it and even when you just open the cap and take a sniff!

What do you think people will love most about Tree Farm by Vintage Porch? 🥰

There's so much going on at Christmas and this candle makes me wanna slow down, take a break, and snuggle up by the fire.

How did Vintage Porch first meet Antique Candle Co.®? 🕯

I met Antique Candle Co.® a couple years ago...through Instagram!

Brittany reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try a candle! And I thought...little me?! You're gonna send ME a candle?! (I didn't even know where she made these things...if she made 'em in her garage??!) *LAUGHS* But she sent me a candle and that's where it all began. We just sort of formed a relationship after that and it's been REALLY FUN! I love their candles! 

What makes this partnership between Vintage Porch and Antique Candle Co.® so unique? 🤝

Tree Farm by Vintage Porch is a nostalgic scent of crisp, freshly trimmed evergreen and Fraser fir pines, wrapped in delicate notes of winter cedarwood.

To Natalie and her family, Christmas represents Christ's birth and they celebrate with ALL the traditions. From reading the Christmas story in the Bible together on Christmas morning, to just spending the day with each other drinking hot chocolate, being together to celebrate the birth of Christ is what Christmas is all about.

"This candle embodies all of what Christmas means to me." - Natalie
