Handmade in small batches

Small Batches.
Big Love.

Soy candles, wax melts, room sprays, seasoned salts, jams and jarred baking mixes — mixed, poured and labeled by hand in the New York Finger Lakes.

Our story

Made slowly, in a real kitchen.

Five Senses Mercantile began with a love of baking, cooking and gifting — and a kitchen that smelled too good to keep to itself. Everything on the shelf is still made the same way: in small batches, by hand, with ingredients you would recognize.

No warehouse, no shortcuts — just kraft paper, jute twine and a little more love than strictly necessary.

— Krista Staples
