We are so glad you're here.

In a fast-paced world constantly urging us to rush, we hope to provide a gentle reminder that it's okay to slow down.

Planet Over Profit

Regenerative and sustainable aren’t buzzwords to us - they’re cornerstones of the ethos that drives every decision we make.

Who We Are

We’re dedicated to honoring the diverse and fertile history of the land upon which Songwood now sits, as well as the grasslanders who came before us.

All-Natural Candles

Crafted the old-fashioned way: handmade in small batches in our studio, Songwood candles are always non-toxic, cruelty-free, and free from paraffin, phthalates, parabens, mutagens, and carcinogens

Welcome to Songwood

Nestled on over 7 acres in Watseka, Illinois—just 75 minutes south of Chicago and a short drive from Bourbonnais, Bradley, Kankakee, and neighboring communities—Songwood offers a peaceful retreat from the everyday rush.

We’ve created a space where photographers find inspiration, seasonal flowers bloom fresh from the field, and handcrafted goods are made with care and intention.

In a fast-paced world constantly urging us to rush, we hope to provide a gentle reminder that it's okay to slow down.

The Songwood Difference

By Hand

We make (and grow) our offerings the old-fashioned way: by hand, meticulously and mindfully, with care, patience, and a great respect for every step of the process.

Non-Toxic

Everything we produce is non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals including paraffin, phthalates, parabens, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, mutagens, and carcinogens.

All-Natural

We never use any synthetics or additives. Everything we use, quite literally, comes directly from nature because we believe nature knows best.
