Why Non Toxic? |||
As a wife and mother, I started making Prenti candles as a way to enjoy everything a candle has to offer without worry.
And like most moms, when I didn’t like what I was finding, I took matters into my own hands and figured out what wax(s) were good and which ones were not so good.
Along with fragrances, I came up with my own recipe to making a candle that we all could feel good about lighting in our home.

The Maple Grille – Wood-Fired Flavor, Farm-to-Table Fresh
The Maple Grille
Just outside Hemlock, The Maple Grille Restaurant & Microbrewery is redefining what it means to eat local. Known for its open wood-fired kitchen and ever-changing menu, this family-style restaurant delivers meals that are as fresh as they are unforgettable.
Farm-to-Table at Its Finest
Everything at The Maple Grille is sourced as locally as possible—produce, meats, even the wood fueling the fire. The menu rotates daily, reflecting what’s in season and what inspires the chefs that week. Expect hearty classics like wood-fired burgers, seasonal salads, and craft pizzas—each served with thoughtful sides and house-made desserts.
Craft Beer, Straight from the Flames
Beyond the food, The Maple Grille brews its own craft beer on-site. Over a dozen taps rotate throughout the year, offering everything from crisp summer ales to rich, malty favorites. It’s a perfect pairing for a laid-back meal on their spacious patio or cozy indoor seating.
Community at the Heart
More than a restaurant, The Maple Grille is a gathering place—hosting local events, supporting farmers, and drawing visitors from across Mid-Michigan. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’re welcomed like family.
