Be Light Gardens: Growing Food, Community, and Purpose
Be Light Gardens was created from a simple belief: food should nourish both people and communities.
What started as a family-owned candle brand has grown into something deeper—an extension of our mission to give back, create access, and build sustainable systems that last. Be Light Gardens is the next chapter of Be Light Candle RE, rooted in the same values, the same family, and the same commitment to impact.
From Candles to Gardens
Be Light Candle RE began with the idea that everyday products can do more. Each candle we create helps fund scholarships, create jobs, and support food security. Over the years, our community grew—and so did our vision.
As conversations around food access, sustainability, and self-sufficiency became more urgent, we asked ourselves an important question:
What if we could help people grow what they need?
Be Light Gardens was born from that question.
A Family-Owned, Purpose-Driven Brand
Just like Be Light Candle RE, Be Light Gardens is family-owned and operated. Everything we build is grounded in lived experience—growing food, learning through trial and error, and understanding firsthand how empowering it is to harvest something you planted yourself.
We believe sustainable agriculture shouldn’t feel intimidating or inaccessible. It should feel:
- Beginner-friendly
- Encouraging
- Practical
- And deeply connected to community
That philosophy shapes every product, guide, and resource we create.
What We’re Growing at Be Light Gardens

Giving back has always been at the heart of Be Light.
