Wildflower Caramel Co.
Handmade Caramels

“We are a woman owned and family run company with the mission to create for you a small, unique and incredibly tasty treat that keeps you coming back for more; but, at the same time, ensure that quality is never compromised and every life along the supply chain was treated and paid fairly. We hope to live our lives and build a company in such a way, that our footprint on our planet is minimal but the love that we leave is large.

After a job change and the arrival of our daughter and a few years later, our son, we decided that staying home with our children was the best decision for our family. Although creating things from scratch was always a joy for me, this shift provided (almost out of necessity to cut spending), me an outlet and more time to spend on creating things. In December of 2012, I made my first batch of apple cider caramels. From there, I have modified and developed my own recipes, learned by trial and error about the chemistry of candy making and have sadly scrapped many batches in order to find the perfect ratios of ingredients. Today, my 7 year old daughter helps to count caramels and teaches me to experience beauty in every moment, my 5 year old son provides constant commentary and a precious face and my husband often helps to be the face of Wildflower.”
