our story
Our first year we introduced ourself to the community by participating in local farmer's markets. Building relationships with stockists and growing our wholesale was the next natural step. Our first year in business, Whole Foods Market approached us at a local market and the dream quickly became a reality. Our little crafty hobby blossomed into a small "mom & pop" business.
about us
Nectar Republic is a small family-owned, home fragrance brand founded by Lisa & Vince Laufer. Created with a foundation based on strong midwest work ethic; believe in yourself, work hard and do good. A formula that calls for a hands-on approach with eco-friendly materials, detailed craftsmanship and spirited ambition.(Formerly Milk + Honey Candles)

Good-bye Milk + Honey
In 2016, We rebranded and expanded our product line. Today Nectar Republic offers many aroma-goods. Lisa's vision was to "offer a well curated & stylized selection of handcrafted, natural goods. Reliving the simple times and knowing exactly where your milk or honey came from was the idea I wanted to possess. I wanted to offer wholesome goodness with a promise and a smile that meant something real." We worked hard to build a reputation for high-standards and superior quality and have carried over these principles into our new brand.
