About Us
Building More Than Products. Building Community.
Every business has a story. Ours began with a passion for craftsmanship, a commitment to quality, and a simple belief that products should be made with purpose and built to last.
Founded in 2020, RH Woodworks LLC began in Lebanon, Missouri, creating handcrafted furniture and custom wood products one project at a time. What started as a woodworking business quickly grew into something much larger—a family of brands centered around craftsmanship, quality, education, and community.
Today, RH Woodworks serves as the foundation for several unique brands, each created with its own mission while sharing the same values of honesty, quality, and supporting American small businesses.
RH Woodworks LLC
The journey began with woodworking.
Drawing on experience in drafting, design, construction, welding, and woodworking, founder Randall Haefner built RH Woodworks around the belief that quality craftsmanship never goes out of style. From custom furniture and cabinetry to home décor, kitchenware, and handcrafted gifts, every project reflects a commitment to creating products families can enjoy for generations.
As our company has grown, that commitment to craftsmanship continues to guide everything we create.
The Woodpile Coffee & Candle Co.
In 2023, The Woodpile Coffee & Candle Co. was introduced as a division of RH Woodworks.
Inspired by evenings gathered around a woodpile with family and friends, Woodpile brings together fresh-roasted coffee, artisan tea blends, and hand-poured soy candles designed to slow life down and help people enjoy life's simple moments.
Whether it's your morning coffee or the warm glow of a handcrafted candle, every product is created with quality, comfort, and community in mind.
Backyard Homestead
In 2026, Backyard Homestead was established to support families pursuing a more self-reliant lifestyle.
From food preservation and gardening supplies to freeze dryers, livestock products, homesteading essentials, and practical everyday goods, Backyard Homestead is designed to help families learn new skills, preserve traditions, and build confidence in providing for themselves.
Our goal is simple: to make quality homesteading products and educational resources accessible to every household.
The Family Market
As our business expanded, so did our desire to help other entrepreneurs grow.
The Family Market brings together products from carefully selected small family-owned businesses from across the country, giving independent makers an opportunity to reach new customers while offering shoppers a unique collection of handcrafted goods, specialty products, and one-of-a-kind finds.
When you shop The Family Market, you're supporting families, not corporations.
Backyard Homestead Marketplace
Community has always been at the heart of everything we do.
The Backyard Homestead Marketplace is our 501(c)(3) community initiative dedicated to supporting local artisans, educating future homesteaders, and creating opportunities that strengthen our communities.
Through educational programming, vendor opportunities, community partnerships, and charitable initiatives, we proudly support veterans, first responders, and local families while promoting entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
Our mission is captured in four simple words:
Neighbors Helping Neighbors Live Better.
Looking Ahead
What began as one small woodworking business has grown into a family of brands united by a common purpose.
Whether you're shopping for handcrafted furniture, enjoying a fresh cup of coffee, learning new homesteading skills, discovering products from small family-owned businesses, or supporting our nonprofit mission, you're helping us build something much bigger than a store.
You're helping us build a stronger community.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.
