Good morning, Beverly! ☀️🍯
​Honey Grove is officially set up at the 95th Street Farmers Market today! My sister Elise is running the booth this morning—and since she personally hosts several of our bee colonies right next door at her house in Mount Greenwood, you are literally buying honey straight from the source!
​While you are grabbing your tote bags and heading over to the market, here are a couple of quirky facts about the beautiful Beverly neighborhood:
​⛰️ It is the highest point in Chicago. Beverly sits on the Blue Island Ridge, an ancient glacial ridge that makes it the highest natural elevation in the entire city (almost 100 feet above Lake Michigan). Our foraging bees definitely appreciate the altitude!
​🏰 It has an actual, real-life castle. Built in 1886, the Givins Castle on 103rd and Longwood Drive was modeled after a medieval Irish fortress. It is the only building in Chicago that is recognized as an authentic castle.
​Come stop by the 95th Street Market today, grab your favorite Honey Grove infusions (like the Vanilla Maple Bourbon, Apple Cinnamon, or Hibiscus), and say hi to Elise! 🌿🐝

Good morning, Skokie! ☀️
​We are all set up at the Skokie Farmers Market this morning and feeling a little historical! While you are getting your tote bags ready to head over, here are a few quirky facts about our host town you probably didn’t know:
​🦆 It literally means "Big Swamp." Before it was the bustling suburb we know today, this entire area was mostly marshland. The name "Skokie" actually comes from a Potawatomi word for "great marsh." (Honestly, rich native wetlands are an absolute dream for foraging bees! 🐝)
​📮 A mail crisis forced a name change. Skokie was originally incorporated as "Niles Center" back in 1888. But mail kept getting hopelessly mixed up with the neighboring town of Niles. It got so bad that the residents held a referendum in 1940 and voted to rename the town Skokie just to get their letters delivered to the right houses.
​🏛️ The ultimate multi-tasking building. Skokie’s very first public building, built in 1887, wore a lot of hats. It simultaneously served as the town firehouse, the local jail, the recreation center, and the Village Hall. Talk about an efficient use of space!
​Come see us at the Honey Grove booth today! Grab your favorite infusions, ask us about the hives, and let us know if you have any of your own weird Skokie trivia. We will be here all morning! 🍯🌿 🤖✨

It's official: Honey Grove is fully locked into beekeeping, and we've landed at the Edgewater Farmers Market today! 🍯

🐝 Sipping Honey in the "World's Largest Village" 🐝
