Not Just a Clever Name

Ten Acres Candles isn’t just a clever name; it’s a reflection of the Laxdal family’s life. The business name represents the 10 acres they call home, tying their product directly to the land they love.

For Ashden, doing business in Northeast North Dakota comes with unique advantages. “The best thing about doing business here is the strong sense of community and support,” she says. “People truly believe in shopping local and lifting each other up, whether it’s through word-of-mouth recommendations, attending local markets, or simply choosing to buy from their neighbors.”

This community spirit extends beyond business. Ashden’s favorite aspects of life in Northeast North Dakota include the natural beauty, the intentional pace of life, and the genuine kindness of the people. “It’s the kind of place where neighbors still look out for each other, and community isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life,” she reflects.
