Spring brings fresh growth to our pastures and exciting news to share: Hobby Ag is welcoming raw honey to our store and adding beehives to our farm through our partnership with Buzzin Acres Honey Bee Farm!

The Buzzin Acres family shares our commitment to working with nature rather than against it. Their children participate in everything from hive maintenance to honey extraction, learning valuable skills while developing deep appreciation for the natural world.

Why Local Honey Matters

Our Summer Wildflower honey offers more than just sweetness:

  • Nutritional value: Contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants unlike processed sugar
  • Allergy relief: May help reduce seasonal symptoms thanks to local pollen content
  • Natural remedy: Soothes sore throats and calms coughs better than many over-the-counter options
  • Supports pollinators: Strengthens local bee populations essential for our food system

Regenerative Benefits

Honeybees are perfect partners in our regenerative practices. They encourage us to maintain diverse flowering plants throughout our pastures, which improves soil health while providing essential pollination. As Wendell Berry reminds us, "The soil is the great connector of lives" - and these bees help strengthen those connections.
