About Us

Every Home Deserves a Little Mountain Magic
At Mountain Lights Candle Co., we know that the simple glow of a candle can transform a house into a sanctuary. You want a welcoming, comfortable space that feels both fresh and familiar—your haven after a busy day. But too often, candles burn out quickly, fill the air with harsh chemicals, or leave you wondering if they’re even worth lighting.

Meet Your Guides: Marke & Mary Hatfield
We’re Marke and Mary Hatfield—your trusted companions on a journey to a cozier, cleaner home. In August 2024, we traded Illinois city streets for the winding trails of Jasper, Tennessee, and instantly fell in love with the mountain air, whispering pines, and star-filled skies. As empty nesters, we’ve embraced this new season with purpose. Marke is a retired educator, and Mary works full-time in insurance benefits for educators — both careers rooted in serving others. With a desire to create something truly special, we have worked tirelessly to develop delightfully fragrant, clean-burning, long-lasting and beautiful candles, right in our mountain-home kitchen.

A Mission-Minded Candle Company
We believe home comfort and social impact go hand in hand. That’s why Mountain Lights Candle Co. is committed to being mission minded: 5% of every sale is donated to vetted nonprofits fighting human trafficking around the globe. With each hand-poured candle you light, you help bring freedom and hope to those in need.

Our Simple, Clear Process

  • Craft – Every candle is hand-poured using 100% soy wax and premium, phthalate-free fragrances.
  • Test – We burn-test each batch to ensure a clean, even melt pool and up to 80 hours of glowing warmth.
  • Give – 5% of your purchase supports organizations rescuing and restoring trafficking survivors.
  • Deliver – Your candle arrives ready to brighten your home, packaged thoughtfully to reflect the serenity of the Tennessee Highlands.
