Franklin, Tennessee • Est. Around the Porch Table
Meet Our Candy Makers
A small family kitchen pouring big harvest memories, one copper kettle at a time.
From Fairground wrapper to Family Calling
Hearth & Hollow began when our founder June Holloway brought her grandmother's copper kettle home from an estate sale in Franklin, Tennessee. Inside the kettle sat a folded 1968 county fair ribbon and a recipe card for pecan brittle that simply read stir slow, pour brave.
Today June pours alongside her husband Ellis, their daughter Willa, and a rotating cast of neighbors who wander in when the molasses starts to darken. Every harvest batch is still stirred by hand, cooled on the original marble slab, and tasted on the porch before it earns a tin.
What We Believe About Candy
- Candy should taste like a place and a season, not a warehouse shelf
- Small batches keep textures honest: snappy, airy, melty, warm
- A gift tin should tell a story worth reading aloud at the table
- Childhood memories deserve grown-up craftsmanship
