Late spring
Clover
Clover opens first across the lower pastures — pale, clean and quick to set. It's the light jar of the year, and the one that goes fastest at the stand.
In the jar
Raw wildflower honey — 1 lb $12 · 3 lb $32
Raw wildflower honey · Mountain Grove, Missouri
Clover first, then the wild bunch, then goldenrod. Call and we'll tell you what's in the jar this week — and set one aside for you at the stand.
Roadside stand open Fri · Sat · Sun — self-serve
The bloom calendar
The ridge blooms in a run, one wave after another. The honey changes with it — colour, body, how fast it sets. Here's the season the way we see it from the hives.

Midsummer
The wild bunch comes on at once and the honey turns dark and full. This is when we cut comb — straight from the frame, still capped, nothing done to it.
In the jar
Cut comb honey — $18
Late summer
Goldenrod closes the season with a deep, buttery set. Last of the year, and the last pull off the hives before the ridge goes quiet.

Gift box with honey dipper — $45
The honey
Four things come off this place: the wildflower jars, cut comb, and the gift box with a dipper in it. Nothing is filtered to a shine — what the bees put in is what you get.
Cut comb and gift boxes don't sit long. Call and we'll hold one back for you, or text us and we'll put it in the box at the stand.
The stand
The stand sits roadside in Mountain Grove. Jars are out on the table, the cash box is there, and you take what you came for. Come by daylight.
If you need a bigger order for a gift, or you want a jar set aside before you drive out, call first — that's what the number is for.
Service area
If you're anywhere in the three counties, you're close enough to call. We'll tell you what's on the stand and what the drive looks like.
