A little update from 701 Homestead ❤️
We wanted to take a moment to check in and share how things have been going, since we’ve had quite a few people reach out.
First and most importantly — we are both doing really well. After multiple scans, I’m happy to say I’ve fully recovered, and we’re incredibly grateful for that.
Over the past year, we’ve taken some time for ourselves and have been doing quite a bit of traveling — away from home nearly six months out of the year. The majority of it has been the fun kind of travel!
We took one trip traveling down the West Coast, and then this winter we headed south, spending time in West Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. As we continue working toward our goal of visiting all the national parks (someday!), we’ve now visited 34. We’ve seen and experienced so many amazing things along the way.
As part of this season of life, we’ve been intentionally scaling back the business to focus more on ourselves and making sure we have time for what matters most. That said, we do still have some ongoing business expenses, so we’ve taken on a few custom projects here and there.
And of course — we still have our bees 🐝
They actually did very well over the winter! So far, all of our hives have survived. We’re waiting until after this cold snap to open them up and really see how they’re doing and get them ramped up for spring.
We also just want to say thank you. The messages, check-ins, and support we’ve received have meant more than we can express. It’s been such a blessing to meet so many of you — it has truly been more than just a transaction, and we’ve always felt like this has been more than just a business.
We do see ourselves offering things again in some capacity — maybe small pop-up items here and there — but for now, we’re taking things season by season and listening to where life leads us.
Wishing all of you the very best in health and happiness — and a reminder to get out and enjoy both.
And yes — we do have honey available:
• Quarts: $20
• Pints: $11
• Half pints: $6
