Beat the heat with a grown-up twist on a classic: pour 2 oz root beer/cola, 1 oz root beer schnapps, 1 oz Godiva, 1 oz honey simple syrup into the glass, add 2 scoops vanilla ice cream, then top with more root beer until it foams over. Creamy, fizzy, perfect for porch nights. 🍨🥤☀️

Kid-friendly swap: omit the schnapps and Godiva for a classic teeny-licious float—same creamy, fizzy joy without the booze. 🍨✨

We just made a fresh batch of elderberry syrup🤩 (available soon at Common Good Collective, The Farm Store at Bluebird Meadows , Dalton Farms LLC and Sunday Market - Plymouth, OH)

We wanted to give you a heads up, if you notice that our elderberry syrup is a little lighter in color, don’t worry—we haven’t changed our recipe! 💜

The only difference is that we’re using fresh, in-season elderberries instead of dried elderberries while they’re available. Fresh berries naturally produce a lighter-colored syrup, but you can expect the same great flavor and the same wholesome ingredients you’ve come to trust.

We love being able to use what’s fresh and local whenever possible. Thank you for supporting our small business! 🐝

The extractor's gone on strike, refusing to extract more honey until some serious repairs are done. I would like to skip to 2027, if you are looking for honey please understand we are on hold until parts arrive.

A slow start to spring gave way to a remarkable turnaround, with our hives thriving over the past few weeks. As we began extracting honey today, we were thrilled to discover the impressive yield from this abbreviated season.
