Clear Mountain Provisions didn't start in a workshop; it began in a hotel room in the middle of a crisis.
While serving on active duty with the Army National Guard during the pandemic, my days were spent leading data efforts to track outbreaks. It was vital, high-stakes work, but it was also clinical and relentless. I found myself deeply disconnected from the mountains and forests that had always been my sanctuary. To stay grounded, I turned to small, tactile rituals. Lighting a candle became my way of bringing the spirit of the outdoors inside when I couldn't get there myself.
In 2024, my career in technology took an unexpected turn. As I navigated that transition, I realized I no longer wanted to spend my life solely behind a desk. I wanted to build something that functioned like an ecosystem—a company that gives back more than it takes.
The Vision
Today, Clear Mountain Provisions is a home for planet-minded goods designed to help you slow down and reconnect. While we hand-pour our own candles, room sprays, and wax melts with meticulous care, we also curate a selection of provisions from purpose-driven brands that share our commitment to the earth.
Our dream is bigger than the products on your shelf. We are committed to:
- Preservation: Using our growth to protect the natural world we replicate in our scents.
- Connection: Helping you bridge the gap between a busy life and the restorative power of nature.
- Sustainability: Ensuring every provision we make—or source—leaves the smallest footprint possible.
We believe that what we bring into our homes should reflect the world we want to protect. Whether you’re looking for a moment of peace or a way to live more intentionally, we’re glad you’re here.
With Gratitude,
Chris
Founder & Chief Artisan
