Summer Honey Harvest!!

Earlier this Spring did our first honey pull. We pulled over a hundred pounds and sold out almost immediately to friends and family.  Since then we have done two more pulls. Our total for the year has been close to 350 lbs of beautiful raw wildflower honey!

We did solid wax foundations on a few of the hives and ended up with some cut comb the second half of the summer.  It's been a really popular seller. We are sold of out it, but will have some comb honey in clear plastic boxes soon.  They make wonderful gifts and have a very nice presentation.

Besides selling locally to friends and neighbors. i take honey to the Artisan Market every week. i also have it listed for sale on our website farm store. 

i'm super excited to be offering locally made honey dippers. These are make by David and Patricia Spangler in Floyd. They make all kinds of wonderful wooden cooking utensils. At really reasonable prices! My kitchen is stocked with their wooden utensils, and now i have one of their honey dippers too! i'm really excited to be able to offer these with our honey.

Very soon we will have cutcomb available. We ordered clear boxes like this (not my picture) but they were back ordered so we are still waiting for them to ship. i'm really hoping to put together a few gift box sets for the holidays that include other locally made items as well as our honey.

Right now our honey can be purchased at the Floyd Artisan Market (friday nights), on our website Shady Grove Homestead & Arts and from us directly.
