💐 🐝🍯 Honey Is Here! 🍯🐝 💐

The wait is over!

Our 2026 honey has been extracted, bottled, labeled, and is finally ready for sale. Despite a year of unusually dry weather, our hardworking bees made the best of the season with the available clover and wildflowers!

Our honey is 100% raw and unfiltered, bottled in 1 lb jars, and harvested right here on our family farm in Spring Grove, PA.

Price: $15 per 1 lb jar (same as last year!)

As always, honey will be available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.

Thank you for supporting our farm and, of course, our amazing bees! 🐝❤️

The flower patch is exploding! 🌸🌼💐

We have started cutting and putting together bouquets for those of you that were interested. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be putting fresh-cut bouquets on the farm stand as different varieties reach their peak. Since flowers don’t all bloom at the same time, bouquets will be available sporadically and in limited quantities.

If you drive by and see flowers on the stand, don’t wait too long… once they’re gone, you’ll have to catch the next harvest.

🐝 🍯 Extraction day is in the books! 🍯 🐝

Today we spent the entire day inspecting hives and pulling honey frames from half of our hives. The bees have been incredibly busy this season. They made the best of a spring season that moved rapidly from incredibly cold to unseasonably hot and dry. There might be another extraction in the fall, but now comes the hard part….waiting! 😂

The honey will spend the next week settling before we bottle it, giving you the clearest, smoothest raw honey possible. We’ll start bottling next week and will announce as soon as it’s ready.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our family farm and our bees. We can’t wait to share this year’s harvest with you! 🐝💛

🇺🇸Happy 4th of July from our family to yours!🇺🇸

Every day, but especially today, we’re thankful for the freedoms we enjoy, the men and women who built this country, and the opportunity to raise our family doing what we love in the greatest country on earth!

We hope you have a safe, fun filled Independence Day with family, friends, and plenty of good food.

God Bless America! ❤️🤍💙

From honey bees to highland cattle, we spent the evening helping kids connect with agriculture, and we had just as much fun as they did! What started as a simple lesson about honey bees turned into an incredible evening on the farm! 😀

We welcomed a wonderful group of school aged kids and their families to learn about honey bees, pollination, and the important role that honey bees play in our food system (among other native pollinators). Along the way, we also talked about our highland cattle, pastured pork, and what daily life looks like on a working family farm.

The kids asked great questions, watched the honey bees in action, saw the cows, and got a firsthand look at where their food comes from at the most basic level. Seeing their curiosity and excitement made the whole experience worthwhile!

As farmers, we spend a lot of time caring for our livestock and forage. It’s easy to forget that many children rarely get the chance to see these things up close and personal! Being able to share our farm and help connect kids to agriculture was a true blessing! 🙏

Thank you to everyone who came out and spent the evening with us. We had a fantastic time and are already talking about doing it again!

4,000 followers!?!

We never imagined this many people would be interested in following along with our little farm adventures.

That’s a lot of people watching us grow plants, chase cows and pigs, catch honey bees, and grow as a family over the years!

Thank you to everyone that has supported us. Whether it was purchasing items from our farm, sharing our posts, liking a photo, or simply following along. It is greatly appreciated! 🙏

Thank you!

How about a giveaway at 5,000?!? 🤪

🌱🍅 Tomato season is getting closer!

We spent the morning in the greenhouse getting our tomatoes trellised and ready for the summer ahead. The plants are growing fast, and it won’t be long before the kids have fresh tomatoes out on the stand!

We’ve got two new varieties joining the lineup this year, along with the tried-and-true favorites that keep coming back season after season.

For now, the plants are hard at work growing!

We are officially out of vegetable plants!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the kids farm stand and took home vegetable plants. Ben, Abi, and Hannah loved seeing all the new and familiar faces!

As of now, they’re officially out of vegetable plants. If you stopped by looking for tomatoes, peppers, or other vegetable starts, we appreciate you thinking of us and we’re sorry we don’t have any left.

But don’t wander too far! The growing season is just getting started. Fresh produce, honey, and flowers will be making their way to the stand before long, and we’ll be posting updates right here when they’re ready.

Thanks again for supporting our small family farm. Watching the kids work the stand was one of the highlights of our spring. 🌱🚜🍅🍯

Ben is already making plans for next springs vegetable plants 😂!

Are you in need of some plants for your garden?

Little kids + seed packets + too much enthusiasm = way too many vegetable plants 😂 🤷

A couple of months ago, our little gardeners helped us start seeds for this years garden. They got a little carried away, so the extras will be going on their farm stand for members of the community to enjoy!

Take what you need! Pay what you can!

Starting Sunday morning (5/17), we’ll have the first round of plants available at the stand on a first come, first served basis.

🍅 Tomato varieties:
• Big Beef
• Black Krim
• BHN-589
• Sart Roloise
• Celebrity
• Honey Bee (cherry)
• Queen of the Night (cherry)

🌶 Pepper varieties:
• Bell Peppers - SOLD OUT
• Jalapeños - SOLD OUT
• Habaneros

If you’ve got a garden to plant, we’d love for these to find good homes. Produce, eggs, honey, and other farm goodies will be available later, but for now, the plants are ready. 🌱

Stand is open. Plants are stocked. Come early for the best selection! We will continue to restock the stand periodically throughout the day.

Please only take what you can use. Help us spread the love around the community!

📢 Update from the strawberry beds 🍓 🌱 🍓

It’s about to get “berry” sweet around here!

The beds are absolutely loaded with blossoms right now. That means berries are officially on the way!

We spent the evening weeding and fertilizing the strawberry beds ahead of tonights projected rain. Perfect timing if we do say so ourselves 😂.

Now we sit patiently and wait. That’s the hard part!
