Driving up to Blue Mountain Candle Company, one thing was obvious: It was a candle-making day. The smell of freshly-poured candles drifted into the parking lot and onto nearby Route 209, tempting all who drove by with the scent of apple spice, sage and citrus oils.
While Blue Mountain Candle is now under new ownership, many things remain the same. All of the store's candle products are made on site at its Lehighton retail store, just as they have been for the past 12 years. Each candle is individually wicked and hand-poured by a local employee.
