We are falling for fall flavors. Every autumn our provisions shelves fill up with seasonal treats from local makers, and the candle shelf starts to smell like a weekend under a blanket. Here is a look at what fall tastes like at Granville General Store.
Pumpkin everything from Homestead 41
Homestead 41 is one of the local makers whose baking we look forward to all year. Their pumpkin cream cheese cupcakes and pumpkin molasses cream pies are exactly the kind of treat that makes a crisp afternoon feel like an occasion. They are made in small batches by people who care about what goes into them, and you can taste the difference.
Homestead 41 also makes some of our favorite body and home care, including soap bars and a lavender and linen laundry powder, which makes them a good example of a local maker you can support across the whole store.
Apple, cinnamon and everything nice
Fall in Ohio means apples, and our shelves follow suit with apple juice and sparkling apple juice that are perfect for a harvest table or a kids' party. Pair them with cinnamon rolls for an easy weekend breakfast that feels like you made an effort.
We like to keep seasonal provisions simple: a few really good things, from makers we know, rather than a wall of pumpkin-spice everything.
Fall candles that just make scents
Nothing sets the mood for a cozy autumn day like a candle. We carry beeswax and soy candles from makers who skip the harsh ingredients, so you can sit back and enjoy the scent without worrying about what comes with it.
- Bradley Mountain soy wax candles, for warm, grounded fall scents.
- Candle by the Hour beeswax candles, marked in hour increments so you can watch a slow evening pass.
- Other options from small, non-toxic makers, rotating through the season.
Browse the scents and find the one that makes you want to curl up and watch the leaves come down.
Fall on Prospect Street
Autumn is one of our favorite seasons in Granville. The village fills up for fall festivals like Granville Octoberfest on Prospect Street, and evenings get cozy fast. We love when neighbors and visitors stop in on their way through town to pick up a treat, a candle or a little something for someone else.
Seasonal baked goods from local makers come and go quickly, so if there is something you love, grab it while it is here. For a look at more of the makers behind these goodies, visit our vendor spotlight page.
