Our Culture



At Milkhouse, we have a strong working culture where our people need only ask one thing: "What is the RIGHT thing to do?" 

It's what drives our quest for perfection in the clean-burning candles that we produce from renewable soybeans grown by farmers in our own back yard. It also drives an incredible working culture where our people are open and honest, hang their egos at the door, and understand the joy that can be acheived when completing a difficult project as a team.

Culture is lived and maintained by our people. We are proud to be part of the lives of this incredible group.
