MEET THE OWNERS
Vance and Nikki Barowsky, best friends that turned husband and wife, restarted the business of making candles in 2018. Vance owned a candle company several years ago but had to sell it as his day job moved him back to Idaho where he was born and raised.
The point of restarting Owyhee Candle Company was to provide happiness to our friends and families who often refer to us as Beavis and Butthead, peanut butter and jelly, Dumb and Dummer, or Bonnie and Clyde. We decided we have had enough of boring candles with lame names so the challenge was on. Not only do we make the best candle using an all natural soy blended wax, but we try to pair up these great scents with creative names. Which some come about after a couple of beers! We now have a store front at
126 W Idaho Street

MEET THE OWNER
In 1986 Dorothy Baumhoff started her home-based business selling Homemade Idaho preserves made with the wild berries which she hand-picked in the mountains of Idaho. Today Homemade by Dorothy has an expanded product line of hand-crafted jams, jellies, syrups, baking mixes and potato products, featuring the wide variety of wild berries, fruits and other agriculture products grown in Idaho or the Northwest. Products which are simple and natural with no preservatives is how Dorothy began her business and how production continues today, with berries that are hand-picked, in small pots stirred by hand and each jar hand-filled. Community involvement, fostering relationships and buying local in tandem with continuing to hand-make “Homemade” quality products is the foundation upon which Homemade by Dorothy has grown over the years. We are celebrating the beginning of our 40th year in June 2025.
We are a Family operated, Home-Based business,
now operated by two of her Daughters and a Grandson, Homemade by Dorothy continues to produce foods that are local, sustainable and all natural, just like homemade.

Russ and Stacy Nelson
Creekside Mallow was born right here in Idaho, sparked by a simple idea around a backyard campfire. When our daughter Grace exclaimed, “We should open a gourmet s’mores store!” we had no idea that her excitement would turn into a thriving small business. We started out just trying to craft the perfect marshmallow—and once we did, the response from our community was overwhelming.
Idaho has been at the heart of our journey from the very beginning. From our first events to opening our downtown Caldwell store and kitchen in 2017, this state has supported us in ways we never imagined. The Idaho Small Business Development Center was instrumental in helping us take those first big steps, and we’re still grateful for the guidance and mentorship they continue to provide.
As a family-run business, we believe in the power of local support, hard work, and never giving up on a good idea. Creekside Mallow isn’t just about s’mores—it’s about community, creativity, and the magic that happens when small businesses are given a chance to grow.
