120-Honeybees and Market Updates

Spring is here and we are moving toward Farmer’s Market season. This will be a different experience this year, but it will happen!

The 18th Street Farmer’s Market will begin in Charleston, IL on May 16, 2020 and we’ll be there. We are planning now for expanding our online ordering, plus how we will process and package orders. Soon, we will have additional information about Market Thyme in Casey.

This episode also gives an update on our apiary, adding two more hives of honeybees from packages.

If you are interested in ordering from our online Mercantile, you can have our non-food items shipped anywhere in the U.S. Food is only available when we are open here at the Farm (next time is May 2, 2020) and at Farmer’s Markets.

Be sure to follow us on social media to get frequent updates: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Until next time…

119-Moving Forward On The Farm

Even in the time of staying at home to combat the Coronavirus, we are finding ways to move forward.

On this episode we discuss our most recent opening, how we arranged a contact free pick up system and the overwhelming response by our customers. A huge shout out and thank you to all of you!

We will continue this system whenever we are open for as long as needed.

For you Farmer’s Market shoppers, planning is underway for both the 18th Street Farmer’s Market and Casey Market Thyme. Stay tuned for more details on both.

Don’t forget to follow us on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for almost daily information on Farm activities.

You can always shop our online Mercantile. Our non food items can be mailed or arrangements made for pick up. The next opening for scones and produce will be on May 2, 2020. More to come.

Until next time….

117-Honeybees, Spring Flowers and More

We are blessed to have plenty to do while under the stay at home order to combat coronavirus. In fact, many of our spring tasks are ahead of schedule.

While Donna has been planting in the eighteen new beds around the property, Julia tended to the honeybees and ventured a little too close.

In this episode, we started with an interruption by Honeybee

and ended with a cowbell for Julia’s latest post “5 Rules To Eat By”

We are looking forward to seeing everyone as soon as safely possible.

Until next time….
