Let Your Light Shine with Country Lights Soy Candles
By Rachel Bertone Stroop |Country Lights Soy Candles keep the fire burning.
Based in Leland, the Riskedal family began making hand-poured candles from a soy/petroleum mix as a hobby in 1999. They have since switched to 100 percent soy and today make more than 100 scents at their centennial farm.
Each 12-ounce jar candle comes with a single soybean on top, representing the family’s allegiance to farming. They also offer travel tins and votive candles, and partner with local FFA chapters for fundraising.
For a list of scents, ordering information and fundraising opportunities, visit countrylights.net or call (815) 495-3500.

Hi Jeannine, we’re a magazine that featured Country Lights candles in the past. For customer service, I’d recommend contacting them directly at https://www.countrylights.net. Hope this helps!

I’m always looking for locally produced items. Thanks for bringing them to light for us.
I love soy candles. Never heard of these. Hope to try them.
I used to work out of the Farm Bureau building in Galesburg, IL. I bought candles for everyone in my family. Just found a box of them I packed away for later, that later has been over 8 years. I guess it pays to clean and reorganize.
Love these candles…
