Fernberry

Sometimes we get so caught up in the day-to-day of running Fernberry that we forget to stop and recognize just how far we’ve come. Between pouring candles, making soap, packing orders, and keeping up with production, some of our biggest victories have a way of sneaking up on us. 🖤

This year alone, we’ve fulfilled over 200 wholesale orders, sending little pieces of Fernberry to retailers and communities across the country.

But recently, we learned something that made us stop for a moment.

Faire, one of the world’s leading wholesale marketplaces, shared that 14 Fernberry products have ranked among the top percentiles of reordered products in their respective Candle and Bath & Body categories.

And even more exciting? THREE of our candles have earned a spot in the TOP 5% of reordered candles on Faire!

🌲 Appalachian Trail 🌲 Mountain Magic 🌲 Black Balsam

And yes, that’s across Faire’s global marketplace!

What makes this recognition so meaningful to us is that it’s based on reorders. These aren’t just products that retailers purchased once. They’re products that customers are loving, coming back for, and asking their favorite shops to restock.

As a small, independently owned business tucked away in the mountains of North Carolina, it’s sometimes hard to comprehend just how far our products have traveled and how many people have welcomed Fernberry into their homes.

To every retailer who has taken a chance on us, every customer who has returned for another candle or bar of soap, and everyone who continues to cheer us on: THANK YOU.

We’re building something we’re incredibly proud of, one small batch at a time.

Here’s to celebrating the little victories (and occasionally remembering to celebrate the big ones, too). 🤎

A huge thank you to our friend JJ for letting us know she spotted Fernberry in the September edition of Our State magazine! 🖤

Seeing our products on these pages is one of those moments that makes us stop and appreciate just how far this little business has come.

We are incredibly thrilled—and truly humbled—to represent a small part of the amazing community of makers, artisans, and small businesses that call the great state of North Carolina home. 🌿

Thank you to Our State for including Fernberry, and to all of you who continue to support what we create right here in NC. It means more to us than you know.

Made in North Carolina. Inspired by home. 🌲

Our production studio and office will be undergoing some renovations beginning tomorrow, Friday, August 14!

While the work is underway, our production and office space will be temporarily out of commission, which means we will be unable to produce or fulfill orders until next week. We’re hoping to have everything put back together and be back up and running by Tuesday, August 18.

If you have an order currently in our queue, we appreciate your patience as we make these improvements to the space where every Fernberry product is made, packed, and shipped.

Thank you for your patience, your orders, and for continuing to grow with us. We can’t wait to get back to making! 🌿

— The Fernberry Team

We’ve been a little quiet lately—and we wanted to let you know why.

It’s not because we’ve been ignoring our amazing community. Quite the opposite.

July brought an amount of growth to Fernberry that we never could have imagined. Thanks to everyone who discovered us during Faire Market, we welcomed an incredible number of new wholesale partners across the country, making July our highest-grossing month in company history by a landslide.

To say we’re humbled would be an understatement.

Historically, Fernberry doesn’t reach its peak sales until November, when the holiday season is in full swing. That’s why July’s incredible growth caught us completely by surprise. We certainly weren’t expecting to break company records in the middle of summer, and we’re beyond grateful for every retailer and customer who helped make it happen.

Since then, our days have been spent pouring candles, making soap, packing orders, and doing everything we can to get products into the hands of our new retail partners. We’re still digging our way through orders, but we couldn’t be more grateful for your patience and support.

While we’ve had our heads down in production, we’ve also been working behind the scenes on something we’re incredibly excited about for our fourth-quarter release.

We’ve developed our own from-scratch, vegetable-based liquid soap, made right here at Fernberry. This versatile base will become an entire collection of products, including:

🫧 Body Wash
🫧 Foaming Hand Soap
🫧 All-Purpose Counter & Surface Cleaner
🫧 Powder-Based Laundry Detergent

Our goal is simple: create products that make your home and body smell incredible while cleaning effectively—without relying on harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach.

This is just the beginning. As we head into the fourth quarter, we can’t wait to share these new products with you, along with a few more surprises we have in store.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this little Appalachian company. Every order, every share, every recommendation, and every new retailer helps make this dream possible.

We’re excited to get back to sharing more behind-the-scenes moments with you very soon. ❤️🍃

🍂 The first whiff of fall arrives next week.

We know… it feels a little early. 🍁

But we already have retailers pre-ordering the fall collection to get it on the shelves in preparation for the peak soap and candle season which is typically all the months that end in "BER" for us 😂

This year’s Harvest Story Collection brings back two customer favorites:
🤎 Biltmore Autumn
🥃 Apple Bourbon

…along with two brand-new fragrances we’re incredibly excited to share:
🎃 Pumpkin Soufflé
🌲 October Woods

And that’s not all—a Pumpkin Spice artisan bar soap will be joining the collection a little later this season.

Harvest Story drops next week. 🍂🖤
