HOW WE HATCHED...
It all began in 1981 at Plumb Elementary in Clearwater, FL. At some point in time (August 2013), we reconnected in Orlando, FL where we have enjoyed visiting local craft breweries, pubs, tap houses and restaurants - among other things! During a visit to a local hangout, we had a brilliant idea – hurry, get a napkin – cut beer bottles into containers for our fantastic, clean burning candles! Here’s to Mother Earth! And beer! There were a lot of trials and even more errors; however, we finally figured how to cut, grind and polish beer bottles to make unique candle vessels. So after many, many moons and owl sightings later, The Plum Owl Co was born!
​
With the help of local businesses (and ourselves), we are recycling bottles and saving our landfills and waterways! Did you know the United States produces and/or imports just over 19 BILLION Beer Bottles each year? And, approximately 14 BILLION are discarded! This is concerning because glass does NOT decompose...yet, it can be recycled an infinite number of times!
​
​So, The Plum Owl Co is here to "Save Mother Earth One Beer at a Time" with our Beer Bottle Soy Candles.
​
Unfortunately, and fortunately at the same time, the demand for our bottle candles is more than we can produce! So to keep in line with our mission, we now pour into reusable glass containers and various drinkware!
​
We didn't stop with candles! We love creating and have currently expanded our offerings. You will find new collections here including BATH, HOME and WEARABLES - all handmade right here in Orlando, FL!
