Bethany Farms, LLC We are a faith-centered, family-run farm located just 6 miles southeast of Winterset, Iowa.

Our journey in Madison County began in 2013, and in 2021, we realized our dream of moving to the countryside.

This year has been interesting, to say the least…

We planted over 150 Lavender plants, not a single one survived…same process as last years plantings (going strong), but no success…

Almost all of the fruit (Plum, Peach, Pear and Apple) was destroyed by Japanese Beetles, over 150 trees worth of fruit…we’re looking at around 3 or 4 dozen apples that remain…

Lastly, the Honey Bees haven’t produced a single ounce of Honey thus far, not a drop…almost 15 Gallons last year, to nothing!

Then there’s the garden…this thing has over produced, over supplied, and grown beyond expectations…we have learned so much, we have been able to bless so many others through it, it’s been incredible!

Could the lack in other areas, allowed us the room to focus on another?

What I do know is that in all of it, through all of it, God has been with us the whole time. He is so faithful, He is so generous…and we’re looking forward to what he has ahead!

We were blessed to get a second round of Spinach, Lettuce, Basil, Dill and Kale last night…so incredibly blessed! 🙏

The garden is in full swing, honeybees have been hammering it, and everything has kicked up in growth! We had to transplant another 20+ tomato plants, as we’ve received round after round of bonus plants. Thank you New Every Morning for all the hard work yesterday, we love you guys!

We even had the opportunity to pull some Peaches from the Orchard, with more on the way!

It’s so amazing to watch God’s creation work hand-in-hand, as he created it to. Thank you Lord!

We had our first harvest yesterday evening! We pulled Radish, Spinach, Lettuce and Basil…such a blessing!

From the Tomato plants we planted, we were blessed with so many bonus plants! We ended up transplanting over 30+ additional Tomato plants to help with the overcrowding…God is SO good!

‘The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building’ (1 Corinthians 3: 8-9)

Thank you New Every Morning for being co-workers, co-laborers with us in this! We are so excited to see what God has in store with this!

First swarm of the year, and first swarm capture for us EVER! 🐝🍯

Neighbor said he saw bees flying in and out of a bush next to his home, and sure enough, they were building comb on the branches!

Once we put momma in the box, they all started filing in! 💛

Praise God for gifts like these, being able to help a neighbor, and being entrusted with more of HIS creation! God is so good!

Update on the garden for this year…we have Beans, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Bell and Hot Peppers all starting to pop…and the Cashmere Clover has taken really well for our cover ☘️

Still needing to get Potatoes, Watermelon and Pumpkins in the ground…but we’re so pleased with what’s showing!

Thank you again New Every Morning for the hand holding in this new venture!

We thank God for the relationship being formed, for his hand over all of this, and the ability to steward what he’s given!

We received our other 2 Hives today!

Thank you so much Milk & Honey Orchard and Apiary, LLC, for the blessing that you are! All the phone calls, text messages…you have shown us nothing but kindness, patience and grace. You are such an incredible human being ❤️

Thank you God, for blessing us with the ability to steward your creation, all the glory belongs to you!

Photo credit belongs to our daughter…she had too much fun capturing it all!

We’ve felt an urge to put a garden in, not just for our own use, but for what God has planned with it…

After sitting on his direction, waiting for HIS timing, he put just the right people, on the same path, for his vision! Thank you New Every Morning for embarking on this journey with us!

We don’t know all that’s planned, except to ‘steward this’, for this next season…

Looking forward to all that God has, and to all the learning we’ll undoubtedly receive!

Still a work in progress, but we’re getting there!

Took us almost 2 full days, but we put more Lavender in ground! This season we added an additional 150 plants to the property…

We’re excited to see what God has planned for all of this. We thank God for what he’s shown us so far! All the glory and honor belongs to HIM!

Lastly, a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to New Every Morning for helping us across the finish line, you are such a blessing to us…

We started this Spring with adding Cashmere White Clover to the property, about a week or so ago…Around 5 acres of White Clover in total, for general habitat forage, and another food source for our Honey Bees!

We also picked up all our Fruit Trees for this year, which should fill in the rest of the Orchard!

A HUGE ‘Thank You’ to Midwest Habitat Company for continuing to supply our seed and tree needs. Year after year, quality products 😁

From my Daughters POV, where the air is not as thin, and things seem a tad bigger 😂
