it has been an absolute whirlwind moving, and some days feels like it's never going to end. some moments i wonder if this was the right decision for us or our business. but then i see and hear the laughter from our girls in the yard- something we haven't had since moving to south dakota. buying a house in the city and trying to expand our new little business here was not our original plan. but if we've learned anything in our lives before each other as well as together, mark and i know that God's timing is so much better than ours and His plan and purpose is far superior than our own. we are so excited to share more business plans with you all in the coming months.

We have been busy, busy bees 🐝. We are moving to a new house we recently closed on, and while that is taking place we wanted you to know that our processing times will be extended slightly due to the move. We appreciate your patience with us and look forward to sharing our journey ahead- including our hopes for some fresh cut flowers next spring!

happy mead day, friends! 🍯🥂

did you know that mead is often considered the world's oldest alcoholic beverage? long before wine or beer came onto the scene, ancient cultures were fermenting honey, water, and yeast, creating a rich history that spans thousands of years and crosses countless civilizations.

while our own heritage hives mead isn't quite ready for the public yet, there are two fantastic local options you can try right here in south dakota to celebrate: panacea and big lost!

grab a bottle, pour a glass, and raise a toast to history's favorite honey wine today. cheers! 🐝✨

just finished up my post market inventory...

we sold 21 of these little lip balms yesterday, and we only have 6 left! as the formulator and maker of this little product, i could legitimately cry with how grateful i am that so many of you loved it. we had samples of our skin balms and lip balm out, and almost every single person who tried the lip balm bought at least one—that is just amazing! many of you also picked up one of our skin balms, as well.

i was so beyond excited to share the simple, clean ingredients behind our products, and you responded right back, showing just how much quality, time, and intentional ingredients mean to you as well. thank you so much.

if you ever have questions about what goes into our products or our process, please reach out—i am always happy to explain. thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our small, family business. we are looking forward to sharing so much more of what we do and why with all of you! 💛✨

that is a wrap! we had such a great time at the honey bee festival- and our very first market. thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hi, bought a product, tried a product, took a card... we are so thankful we got to share a piece of our heart and mission with you.
