About Us
Along the edge of a wooded hollow, in a small countryside cottage nestled within an old Pennsylvania village, the inspiration for Crabapple Hollow began.

At the heart of Crabapple Hollow is a dedication to creating simple, honest, and wholesome products designed to inspire positive, uplifting experiences and bring a little warmth and goodness into everyday life.

Our Story
Some years ago, we settled on a small piece of land in the countryside, made a little cottage our home, and raised our family there.
Over the years, we have been blessed with many wonderful experiences. Looking back, we’ve come to realize that so many of our most treasured memories were found in the simplest of things—those honest, wholesome moments that just have a way of staying with you.
Walking barefoot through the garden and catching the first fragrance of the approaching harvest. Sitting quietly on the porch as a warm summer breeze carries the scent of the nearby meadow. Walking through the woods just after a rain and breathing in the rich, earthy fragrance of the forest floor.
They are moments like stepping outside to do winter chores and feeling the crisp, pine-scented air against your face. Or simply sitting around the kitchen table as Grandma opens the oven and the comforting aroma of freshly baked pies fills the room.
These experiences have given us more than wonderful memories. Along the way, they have taught us a few things, too.
We’ve learned the value of hard work, along with the importance of balancing it with much-needed rest. We’ve learned to treasure family, time spent with loved ones, and the friendships that enrich our lives. We’ve learned the importance of passing down traditions, holding on to old ways and timeless values that still have meaning today, and preserving them for the generations to come.
We’ve learned never to take kindness for granted and to continually look for ways to extend that same kindness to others—in business, in friendship, and in everyday life.
And most importantly, we’ve learned to trust in God and in His love for us.
Here at the Hollow, everything we do is rooted in those lessons and experiences. Through our products, services, events, and projects, we hope to share a little of the simple, honest, and wholesome way of life that has meant so much to our family.
Our hope is that what we create brings a sense of warmth, comfort, and connection—that perhaps a fragrance, a gathering, or a simple experience will stir a treasured memory, create a new one, or remind someone of the things in life that matter most.
And, in turn, we hope it inspires others to carry a little of that goodness with them and pass it along.
Simple. Honest. Wholesome.
It’s more than what we create. It’s the heart of who we are.
