“It’s a product that people don’t need, but they choose to purchase because it makes them happy.”

This is what keeps businesses like The Cow Patty going. Danielle Bice creates something with her hands, using soy wax right from the heartland. When she started 10 years ago, it was a way to keep busy after her day job. Now, it’s a way to provide a little extra for her family while making other people happy.

Danielle welcomed us to her home property, opened up the trailer after a busy weekend on the Spoon River Drive, and answered all our questions. We were joined by her right hand assistant, Allison Wetzel, and guest speaker baby Jensen. We had a perfect morning to enjoy the fresh air along with the aromas of her wax melts.
