They have names like “Resilience,” “Surviving,” and “Just A Vibe.” But these all-natural, soy-based candles are much more than just their names, and their clean-burning fragrances.

FROM THE EDITOR LAUREN LEBEL
And just like that, it’s June.
The month of June has several meanings. For one, it means that we are halfway through the year, and before we know it, the holidays will be approaching. But it also means the start of summer — so the cold weather can hold off a bit as we continue to defrost from a long winter and rainy spring. Fingers crossed for sunshine ahead!
Heading into summer, I always try to keep some weekends free to do something I enjoy — whether it’s going to the beach, taking a day trip, or simply going for a walk outside. However, that doesn’t typically happen, as my summer weekends are already filling up with various events.
As this year has already flown by — and summer will, too — I am making it my mission to slow down. Of course, time will not stand still, but I want to enjoy every moment, try new things, and do what I truly enjoy doing. And you should too!
If you are a parent, grandparent, or any type of caregiver and are looking for something to occupy a child’s time this summer, the Wilbraham Children’s Museum is the perfect place. While the inside of the museum is not open to the public, it does offer playgroups that run September through June, for children 5 and under. It also offers memberships, which comes with perks, such as special events throughout the year.
The museum’s playground is open to the public year-round. Its various play structures and swings are sure to occupy the young ones and burn some energy, while you enjoy lunch under the pavilion.
And for those with a summer birthday, think about hosting your party at the museum!
If you have a green thumb or are looking to liven up your home’s exterior, visit Ray’s Family Farm in Southwick. From annuals and perennials to fruits and vegetables, the farm has something for everyone.
Or you can simply stop by to see Freckles and Wilson — the owners farm stand dogs that are customer favorites.
If you’re looking to freshen up the interior of your home with a sweet scent or give a thoughtful gift, check out Pearl & Company, natural candles made by Kelsey Davey.
A few months ago, I attended the Women’s Leadership Conference at Bay Path University and saw Davey's candles on display. What caught my attention was the wording on the labels, such as “This candle smells like it could’ve been an email,” among other hilarious ones from her divorce collection, and graphic candles that I probably can’t write about, but you should definitely check out!
All these suggestions, and more, are inside this month’s Go Local!
Happy reading,

They have names like “Resilience,” “Surviving,” and “Just A Vibe.”
But these all-natural, soy-based candles are much more than just their names, and their clean-burning fragrances.
Each carefully blended scent, each hand-poured jar represents a triumph over adversity, a light in the darkness in the face of a life-altering event for Pearl & Company owner Kelsey Davey.
“Doing my candle business literally saved my life,” Davey shared. “It got me out of my house, talking to people again and got me to where I feel like I know what I’m doing.”
Davey's is a story of how one moment, one action can dramatically change everything. The first moment — a seemingly simple injury while performing her duties as a South Hadley police officer — sent her life into a tailspin. The second moment — a song, a text and a “moment on the floor” at the lowest point in her life — led to a new path and a new career.
“People would read my story, and people would be in
tears and want to hug me,” Davey said of the reaction she got — and still gets — from people at the pop-up shops where she sells her hand-crafted candles. “But in my head, I was just doing what I had to do to survive.”
Davey's journey from police officer to candlemaker began with a routine call about an unresponsive person in a parking lot. It was mid-morning. She broke the driver’s window with her baton to administer Narcan, cutting her wrist in the process.
“I remember saying ‘Oh no,’ but I still didn’t think about it,” Davey said, adding she told her sergeant she thought she needed an ambulance for her injury.
At the hospital there was no glass in the wound, but she couldn’t “feel my hand, feel my fingers … everyone thought I was in shock … I just knew I needed to keep moving my fingers,” Davey recounted. In reality, she had severed two tendons and numerous nerves; damage that even surgery seemingly couldn’t heal. The injury was to her dominant hand.
Her career as a police officer and personal trainer came to a standstill.
“I went from being someone who was so independent … my mental health started to suffer,” Davey said, recounting how the every-six-week follow-up appointments led to more disappointment and despair as feeling and function in her hand did not return.
She suffered panic attacks, and night terrors where “all my [police] calls started to run together,” she said, PTSD symptoms and depression. Though people were checking on her, Davey said she felt “so alone,” and that “no one understood” the anguish she was experiencing as she tried to come to terms with the impact of her injury.
Left unable to do the simplest tasks independently — walk her dog, chop broccoli for supper — without help from family, Davey felt her mental health spiral. One day she got a bottle of champagne to “celebrate her life” and planned to end it.
“Then a song came on the radio, my then ex-husband texted me, ‘I’m proud of you’ and I had a moment on the floor ‘grieving everything,’” Davey said. “I decided I wanted to take my life back, my power back.”
Feeling what she described as “a sense of relief,” Davey texted her brother, who was in the wholesale candle business, asking how she could get started making candles.
“He texted back saying. ‘I’ll teach you everything I
know about candles,’” she said.
It was “around March 17” of 2023, Davey recalled.
Five d ays later, she poured her first batch of 36 candles. The fragrances were champagne rose, which she titled “Born to Thrive,” lavender kiwi which she called “Feels Like Home” and a grapefruit mint scented one she titled “Pure Harmony.”
“Each candle name is how I was feeling and what I was going through in the recovery process and even afterward,” Davey said.
Those first 36 candles sold out to family and friends within a week, and “in April, I decided to go into the candle business and launched my candles to the public,” Davey said.
She named her new business Pearl & Company and started selling her candles online in an Etsy shop.
“My dog’s name is Pearl,” Davey said, explaining Pearl is of one of the two the Great Pyrenees she calls her “soul dog” and constant companion during her recovery. Davey said she named her company after that dog because no matter how low she became, she “couldn’t let [her dogs] down … I stayed because I had to take care of them.”
Davey said she did the first live event with her candles
on May 12 — Mother’s Day weekend of 2023 — and her second one on May 14.
“After that, I said, ‘I really like this,’” Davey shared. “I felt like I could be myself again, be open, be honest, share my story and my struggle without judgment.”
And her candle fragrances — and names — really seemed to resonate with people.
“People will pick up a candle because ‘Today I’m Just Surviving’” resonates with them, Davey explained. “Or people will say ‘so and so is going through this, do you have that Resilience candle because this person is so resilient?’”
“No matter what you are going through, I have a candle for that,” Davey added.
And she’s just as mindful of her ingredients. Her soybased wax comes through the candle wholesale company her brother works for. She purchases only high-premium fragrance oils to scent her creations. And the wicks she uses are 100% cotton “so you’re not getting any soot on your walls or clothing” when the candles are burning. In honor of her dogs, all the ingredients and fragrances are safe for use around animals.
Davey recently created her own e-commerce website at pearlncompany.com, where shoppers can find and order all her candle designs and fragrances — including special wedding and divorce collections — as well as an area where clients can place custom orders. In March, she also launched three candle fragrances on Amazon — a vanilla sandalwood scented candle titled “It Is What It Is,” a pistachio caramel fragranced candle called “Surviving” and a watermelon mojito candle titled “Just a Vibe.”
In June, Davey will also be showcasing her candles at several area pop-up events.
On June 7, you will find Pearl & Company at Drunken’ Rabbit Brewery, 794A New Ludlow Rd., South Hadley, from noon to 4 p.m. for the Thomas J O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center. On June 14, she will be at the McKinstry Market Garden, 753 Montgomery St., Chicopee, from noon to 5 p.m. On June 28, Pearl & Company will be at Thunder in the Valley, 95 Park Hill Rd., Easthampton, all day.
Davey still pours every candle by hand, using her damaged hand, though often she admits “I still pick things up and I drop things.”
“I spill things, and I go, ‘OK,” she said. “You really don’t realize how often or how much you use your hand until you can’t use your hand.”
WILBRAHAM CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
From the outside, it looks like a historic red structure, but on the inside, it is sparking imagination and creativity among the youngest generation.
Opened in the spring of 1981, the Wilbraham Children’s Museum was provided as a recreational and educational service for young children in the area. Now, it serves the community by offering playgroups, birthday parties and special events geared toward children 5 and under.
The inside of the museum — which is closed to the public and utilized for playgroups only — is filled with various play areas such as a castle with a slide, a play kitchen, a train table, a spaceship, and lots of books and puzzles, to name a few.
Its blue and green walls are decorated with posters of assorted learning material and seasonal decor, while the window trim is painted in different colors of the rainbow.
Outside, there is a fenced-in playground that is open to the public year-round.
Amanda Docherty, president of the Wilbraham Children’s Museum, said the playground is equipped with a swing set and various playscapes, a sand box, play kitchen, a shed-like toy house, and even a pirate ship.
“We have a lot of different things for kids to do both inside when it’s playgroup and then outside, that’s open to the public all year-round,” she shared.
There are also picnic tables and a pavilion set up for people to enjoy a snack or have lunch when visiting the playground, Docherty added.
“It ’s a really nice area for even just the public to enjoy on the playground,” she said.
Docherty has been the president of the Wilbraham Children’s Museum for almost one year but joined the museum several years ago.
“My favorite thing about the museum is that it brings the community together, especially for the little ones and caregivers of those children,” she said.
She continued, “For the first four years of living in town, I knew no one except my neighbors.” After the coronavirus pandemic, when Docherty had her first two children, is when she joined the Wilbraham Children’s Museum.
“Since joining, I have watched my children grow friendships that have made it outside of the museum. I have also made some friends along the way,” she shared.
The Wilbraham Children’s Museum offers membership for $50, annually. The fee helps with the upkeep of the building and grounds, in addition to improvements to the museum’s various amenities.
Docherty explained that as a member, there are “perks” which include special events for members only, discounts on birthday parties and discounts on certain events.
Membership renewals are due in August. To become a member, Docherty said people can sign up directly on the Wilbraham Children’s Museum website.
“If you decide to just want to be a member — which we do have a handful of people that are just members — they

get members only options, such as monthly bedtime story time, where they read a story, have a snack and do a craft, which is usually themed,” she said.
Some other member-only events include Cookies and Cocoa with Santa, a family picnic and game night.
The museum also hosts an annual Trunk or Treat and Turkey Toddle, which is open to non-members as well.
The indoor playgroups are offered seven days a week, from September through June. One session runs from September through December, and the other session runs from January through June. Each session costs $50.
For those interested in membership and the two playgroup sessions, it would cost $150 to purchase separately. However, Docherty said there are a lot of people who will buy it all in one transaction, and if they do, it is discounted to $135.
Every year, people have to re-register as a member and re-sign up for playgroups.
The Wilbraham Children’s Museum typically hosts a registration fair in August, where a lot of people will renew or star t a membership, or sign up for playgroups.
Docherty said there is no limit to how many people can become members or attend playgroups. However, they generally try to keep around 10 to 12 kids in a playgroup because the inside of the building can get a bit crowded, as the children usually come with a caregiver.
Bir thday parties are also hosted at the museum yearround, on Saturdays and Sundays, either 12:30-2:30 p.m. or 3:30-5:30 p.m. People do not have to be members to have a birthday party there.
This summer, Docherty said some of the museum’s board members will be at the Wilbraham Farmers Market on Aug. 13 and Aug. 27, at the Scantic Valley YMCA from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There, people can talk with the board members and get more information on the museum, what it has to offer, and can also register.
What makes the Wilbraham Children’s Museum different from other children’s museums are its weekly playgroups, which Docherty said most do not have.
She noted that its events are much different than other museums as well. For instance, the Trunk or Treat is hosted at Fern Valley Farms and the Turkey Toddle is at Minnechaug Regional High School. Docherty said this “brings the community to other local places within the community.”
“I believe children enjoy a lot of what we have to offer,” Docherty concluded.
THE WILBRAHAM CHILDREN’S MUSEUM FOLLOWS THE HAMPDENWILBRAHAM REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT CALENDAR, SO IF THE DISTRICT IS CLOSED, SO IS THE MUSEUM, BUT THE OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND REMAINS OPEN YEAR-ROUND.
WILBRAHAM CHILDREN’S MUSEUM IS LOCATED AT 678 MAIN ST. IN WILBRAHAM.

RAY'S FAMILY FARM
For five decades, Ray’s Family Farm in Southwick has been providing flowers, vegetables, herbs, Christmas trees and more to the community. They are known for being friendly and offering high-quality products. And, of course, for Freckles and Wilson — owner Raymond “Skip” Brzoska Jr.’s dogs.
“Customers come to the farm just to see them,” said Skip Brzoska’s wife Heidi Brzoska. “Freckles was a rescue from Lucky Puppy Rescue about five or six years ago and Wilson was a rescue about four years ago. Skip has always had many farm dogs here at the stand.”
Skip Brzoska helped his father, Raymond Brzoska, Sr., establish the farm in the 1970s and has maintained the farm and ownership.
The parking lot of the farm at 723 College Hwy. was where he first started selling strawberries, and today the farm includes 14 greenhouses, a farm
stand and display houses. He refers to the farm as a small roadside stand, but it is much, much more. ymond, known by many as Ray, Skip or Skippy, is the owner of the farm. I met Skip in 2012, and I moved to Southwick from Maine, and we have worked side by side at the farm since 2016,” said Heidi Brzoska. “We currently have three full time and 15 part time employees. We have two of the best in the business farm stand managers — Sabrina Kanner, who has been with Skip for over 20 years, and Paige Gosselin. who handles our computer and scheduling.”
Having longtime employees who have become family is important to the Brzoskas and contributes to the tradition at Ray’s where there are many repeat customers. Skip Brzoska’s commitment to the farm and community are a big reason why people flock there every season op by for some local cheese or milk on their way home from work.
“This far m is and has been his life,” said Heidi Brzoska. “He says many times
if he had the winning ticket, he would still be here each and every day doing what he does. This is what he loves and he has a great gift for growing.”
She continued, “Farm stands like ours are going by the wayside as no one wants to take over farming as it is a 24/7 job. We never close. We are open seven days a week 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. We open for Easter flower sales whenever Easter happens to fall on the calendar, and we do not close until Christmas Day.”
Ray’s Family Farm has a large variety of annuals, perennials, herb starters and vegetable starters, hanging baskets of every kind, and so much more. The farm is known for its geraniums and they provide soils, mulches and most everything for their customers’ growing needs.
“Spring/early summer at the farm is a lot of flower sales, and then produce starts coming in from the field,” Heidi Brzoska said. “We sell all our field farm vegetables, squashes, cukes, pickles, lettuces, etc. His cantaloupe — which he is known for far and wide as it is sweet and delicious — as well as watermelon and all other crops. In the latter part of summer, we start selling tomatoes for sauce and canning in bulk, we also provide pickling cukes in bulk for pickling, if mother nature is kind to us and we have them.”
Ray’s Family Farm also has bulk winter root vegetables in late fall, such as 50 pounds of potatoes, onions, beets and more, as well as pumpkins and fall flower baskets. They even have seasonal cut-out scenes that children love to be photographed in, making a trip to Ray’s fun for the whole family.
“Also, when winter comes, the farm turns to Christmas trees, wreaths, holiday logs and lots of gorgeous holiday decorations,” said Heidi Brzoska. “I ask [Skip] many times why he does Christmas and he says, ‘It’s tradition and I have always done it.’ We also provide produce from other local farms. If we do not grow it ourselves, he outsources to other local farms. We also carry Highlawn farms milk products, Maple Corner Farms maple syrup, jams and jellies and Billy C’s honey. We also carry bread from Balboni Bakery.”
Heidi Brzoska admitted that there are parts of farming that are totally out of their control. They are at the mercy of the weather, wild animals and disease each and every day. But that doesn’t stop them from ensuring the best possible crops for their customers.
When asked why people should choose Ray’s Family Farm, Heidi Brzoska joked, “because we are awesome, but on a serious note, to keep local farms established and open. Unfortunately, it is a dying profession/industry on this scale and when it’s gone, it’s gone.”
RAY’S FAMILY FARM, 723 COLLEGE HWY. IN SOUTHWICK, IS OPEN DAILY, 9 A.M. TO 7 P.M. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT RAY’S FAMILY FARM ON FACEBOOK.
Jalapeño Popper Mac and Cheese
1 box of medium shells/macaroni
1 block of pepper jack cheese
1/2 block cream cheese
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
3/4 cup milk
1 cup crispy fried jalapeños
3 jalapeños
3 strips of bacon
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch of of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Start by boiling your pasta for about 8 minutes and preheat your oven to 375F. Shred your cheese by hand, chop up your bacon and pop 2 of your jalapeños under the broiler for a few minutes. Remove your jalapeños and let sit while you make your cheese sauce.
To make a roux, melt your butter over medium/low and add in your flour and stir until combined and raw flour taste is cooked out. You’ll have to trust the process on this part, slowly stir in your milk and whisk continuously until all your milk is fully combined and your roux is silky and add in your seasonings. Turn off the heat and add in some of your shredded cheese and continue that until all your cheese is added and melted. Chop up your broiled jalapeños, removing seeds first if you prefer it to be less spicy. Cube your block of cream cheese. Add pasta to your cheese sauce and stir until fully combined, stir in your bacon and jalapeños. Add half of your mac and cheese to a baking dish, add in half of your cubed cream cheese but don’t mix it. Add the second half of your mac and cheese, top with the rest of your cubed cream cheese and crispy fried jalapeños. You can add jalapeño rings to the top if you’d like as well.
Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy!
