ABOUT UPHAMPTON HONEY:
Sarah, the lady behind Uphmapton Honey started keeping chickens in 2018 when she rescued 5 ex- commercial laying hens from a local farm. ‘Chicken math' soon took over and she now has over 40, a mix of pure breeds and rescued ex-layers. In 2021 Sarah took her beginners beekeeping course and was gifted her first hive in the Summer of 2022. That Christmas Sarah was gifted a block of beeswax from a fellow beekeeping colleague, and that where the beeswax candle obsession started. Being a chicken lover, when Sarah came across the chicken moulds she just had to have them. Sarah named her chicken candles Kev & Betty after her own chickens - Betty is a rescued warren type hen & Kev is the son of a Maran type hen.
