Whether you eat the sweet, sticky stuff or apply it externally, the health benefits of honey make everything better!  With less calories than sugar, honey is the natural sweetener of choice.  The surrounding area where the bees live is mostly native prairie, alfalfa and sainfoin.  The honey is available in a few different sizes: 500mL for $20 2.25L pail for $50

When life gives you pastured pork lard, make soap!! In years past we were never able to sell all of the pork lard from our pigs and instead of letting this beautiful and often misunderstood product go to waste, I now turn some of it into soap! I use pork lard as the hardening fat in my soaps - it's what makes the bar hard so it doesn't turn into a pile of glop when you leave it in your shower. The lard also makes a lovely, creamy lather and is very moisturizing. I've dabbled with a few different recipes, Rosemary Citrus, Mocha, Lavender / Ylang Ylang, Tea tree oil, Lemon Poppyseed and Grapefruit / Bergamot to name a few.
