DeSmidt Farms

10/05/2026

Andrew has been busy in the fields, and harvest 2026 is well underway.

He’s had a pretty good crew helping him out too: Larry Hines, our Chief Combine Operator (CCO), Lucian as CCO Assistant, and Stubby, who’s always happy to supervise.

Ava rounds out the canine crew, although she’s still not entirely convinced farming is for her. 😂

Here’s a look at harvest so far!

🍯 WE HAVE A WINNER! 🍯

Thank you to everyone who recently followed the DeSmidt Farms page after visiting us in Washington Court House and at South Charleston Heritage Days! We appreciate you stopping by, learning more about our farm, and supporting our small business.

Andrew snagged these pictures when he was checking field conditions a few days ago. The bees are certainly busy filling out their honey stores this time of year!

We've got something new in the shop: Creamed Honey! 🐻🍯

Same raw honey from our bees here in South Solon, just whipped to a smooth, spreadable texture. There's no crystallizing, no mess, and it is easy to scoop straight onto toast, apple slices, or a spoon (no judgment).

Grab a jar here: https://desmidtfarms.com/products/creamed-honey

Local? Send us a message and we can arrange pickup at our honey stand on Greene Road. We'll also have a small number at the South Charleston Heritage Days Festival on Saturday.

Shop smooth, spreadable creamed honey from DeSmidt Farms.

If you haven’t picked up your grilling supplies, be sure to stop by Engle’s Farm Market LLC today! They have the best selection of local products for any cookout. 🥩🍯

🍯 Honey and heat go together. If you're firing up the grill this weekend, try swapping in real local honey wherever your recipe calls for sweetener. Ribs, chicken, BBQ sauce, marinade — it makes a difference. Pick up a jar of DeSmidt Farms Honey at 1460 Greene Rd, South Solon, or give us a call at 740-505-2290.
