  • Our tallow soap is handmade in small batches using the traditional cold-process method, allowing every bar to cure slowly into a gentle, nourishing cleanser. We use grass-fed tallow from local Western New York farms, paired with organic oils and LanaRosa Dairy raw cow’s milk to create a creamy, skin-loving lather you won’t find in commercial soaps.

    Tallow’s fatty acid profile mirrors the natural oils of human skin, making it incredibly balancing, moisturizing, and restorative — ideal for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Each bar that is colored and/or textured does so by using natural clays and inclusions (like oatmeal, pine needles, herbs, or botanicals), never synthetic dyes or fragrance oils.

    This is clean, old-fashioned soap — the way it was made for generations.

    Benefits

    • gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin

    • supports dry, irritated, or eczema-prone skin

    These are saponified oils made through the cold-process method.

  • Our Dog Antler Chews are sourced entirely from locally shed antlers collected right here in Western New York. Each spring, my husband spends countless miles shed hunting—gathering naturally dropped antlers from healthy, wild deer. We cut and sand each piece by hand to create safe, long-lasting chews your dog will love.

    These chews are 100% natural, additive-free, and ethically sourced (no animals harmed, ever).
    Because every antler is unique and locally found, stock is limited and availability changes seasonally.

    Benefits

    • extremely long-lasting

    • helps reduce tartar & supports dental health

    • packed with natural minerals (calcium, phosphorus, trace minerals)

    • odorless & mess-free

    • no chemicals, dyes, preservatives, or fillers

    • sustainably collected (naturally shed)

    How to Refresh Your Dog’s Interest
    If your dog loses interest in their antler, you can safely “refresh” it:

    Simmer (do NOT boil) the antler in low-sodium chicken or beef broth for 5–10 minutes.
    Allow it to cool completely before giving it back.

    This:

    • softens the outer layer slightly

    • brings natural scent and flavor to the surface

    • renews chewing interest without compromising safety

    Do not leave the antler unattended in boiling liquid (boiling can make antlers brittle).

    Care & Safety

    • Always supervise your dog while chewing.

    • Remove the antler when it becomes small enough to swallow.

    • Not recommended for puppies with baby teeth or dogs with dental issues.

    • Provide fresh water while chewing.

    Ethically & Locally Sourced
    These antlers are:

    • naturally shed (deer drop them every spring)

    • hand-collected during long WNY shed hunts

    • cut & finished by hand on our farm

    • never imported or mass-produced

    Because they’re wild-sourced and seasonal, inventory is limited.

Raw Honey

  • Our raw honey is harvested right here on our farm in Western New York, produced by bees that forage on wildflowers, tree blossoms, and pasture blooms throughout the seasons. This honey is never heated, ultra-filtered, or blended, so it retains its full spectrum of natural enzymes, pollen, minerals, and flavor.

    Every jar reflects the land and the season — a true taste of Western New York.

    Small-batch. Seasonal. Completely raw.

    Benefits of Raw Honey

    • naturally contains pollen, enzymes, and trace minerals

    • rich in antioxidants and beneficial compounds

    • unpasteurized, unprocessed, and never blended

    • supports local seasonal wellness

    • full-bodied, complex flavor straight from the hive

    Raw honey naturally crystallizes over time — a sign of purity and quality.

    Ingredients
    100% Raw, Unfiltered Honey
    No heat · No additives · No blending · No preservatives

    Seasonal Color & Flavor
    The color of raw honey changes with the seasons — a beautiful sign that it’s natural and unprocessed.
    Each nectar source produces a slightly different hue and taste:

    • Spring honey tends to be lighter, delicate, and floral.

    • Summer honey is richer, with bright wildflower notes.

    • Fall honey is often darker, deeper, and more robust.

    Darker honeys naturally contain higher levels of antioxidants and minerals, giving them a stronger “medicinal” profile that many people prefer for seasonal wellness.

    No two harvests are exactly alike — and that’s the magic of raw, local honey.

    Crystallization — Natural & Expected
    Raw honey will crystallize, especially in cooler months.
    This does not indicate spoilage — it simply means it’s real.

    To re-liquefy:
    Warm the jar gently in a bowl of warm water.
    Avoid boiling or microwaving, which destroys enzymes.

    Our Bees, Our Land, Our Promise
    We practice low-intervention, respectful beekeeping and harvest only what the colonies can comfortably spare.

    Local. Ethical. Seasonal.
    A true expression of Western New York.

  • Our raw honeycomb comes straight from our hives here in Western New York — untouched, unheated, and cut exactly as the bees made it. This is the purest form of honey you can enjoy: golden raw honey sealed inside edible beeswax cells, just as it exists in the hive.

    Each piece is cut by hand and varies slightly in shape, color, and texture depending on the season and what our bees are foraging.

    Small-batch. Seasonal. Completely raw.

    What Makes Honeycomb Special
    Honeycomb is raw honey in its most natural form.
    Because it’s never spun, filtered, or heated:

    • it contains all natural enzymes & pollen

    • you get the full seasonal flavor profile

    • the wax is edible, gentle, and naturally purifying

    • each bite is rich, pure, and fragrant

    • darker sections contain higher antioxidant levels

    This is honey exactly the way the bees created it — nothing added, nothing taken away.

    How to Enjoy Honeycomb
    You can eat the honey and the wax together. Common ways to enjoy it:

    • spread on warm sourdough or fresh bread

    • paired with cheese (brie, manchego, or sharp cheddar)

    • on fruit boards & charcuterie

    • on yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream

    • eaten by the spoonful for seasonal support

    • melted into warm beverages (wax will rise to the top)

    The wax can be chewed like gum — the nutrients release as you chew, and the wax can be swallowed or discarded.

    Ingredients
    100% Raw Honeycomb
    No heat · No filtering · No additives · No preservatives

    Crystallization
    Honey naturally crystallizes, including inside the comb.
    This does not affect quality — crystallization is a sign of raw purity.

    If you prefer it softer, set the container in a warm (not hot) water bath until the honey loosens.

    Our Bees, Our Promise
    We practice low-intervention, respectful beekeeping and harvest only what the colonies can spare.

    Local. Ethical. Seasonal.
    The purest expression of our land.

100% Beeswax

  • Our pure beeswax candles are hand-poured in small batches using clean, natural wax sourced from our own hives and from a trusted Western New York beekeeper. Because each of our hives produces only a small amount of wax — and bees must consume 8 pounds of honey to create 1 pound of wax — we thoughtfully supplement with locally sourced beeswax to meet demand while staying true to our roots.

    Each candle is free of dyes, fragrances, paraffin, or toxins. Just pure, golden beeswax and a clean-burning cotton wick.

    Natural. Local. Handcrafted.

    Why Beeswax?
    Beeswax is considered the highest-quality candle wax in the world — and for good reason:

    • burns longer and cleaner than soy or paraffin

    • releases a soft, warm, honey-like aroma naturally

    • produces minimal soot

    • purifies the air by releasing negative ions

    • non-toxic, safe for homes, children, and pets

    • completely natural and renewable

    No artificial scents are added — the gentle aroma comes purely from the bees’ work.

    Ingredients
    100% Pure Beeswax (WNY sourced)
    Cotton Wick
    No paraffin · No soy · No synthetic fragrance · No dyes

    Color Variation
    Because these candles are made with raw, unbleached beeswax, the color may vary from batch to batch:

    • pale golden in early-season wax

    • rich amber in late-season wax

    • occasional deeper hues depending on pollen & nectar source

    This natural variation is a sign of purity — not a flaw.

    Burning Tips
    To get the best burn from your beeswax candle:

    • allow a full melt pool on the first burn

    • trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use

    • keep away from drafts

    • burn in 2–3 hour increments for even melting

    Beeswax candles burn brighter and warmer than other waxes due to their higher melting point.

    A Note About Sourcing
    We harvest wax only when it does not compromise the health and resources of our bees. Because each hive produces such a small amount of wax, we ethically supplement from a trusted WNY beekeeper who practices responsible, low-intervention beekeeping.

    This keeps our candles:

    • local

    • sustainable

    • truly pure

    • and aligned with our values

    Care
    Store in a cool, dry place.
    Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve natural color.

  • Essential Oil Beeswax Candles
    Our essential oil–scented beeswax candles are hand-poured in small batches using pure beeswax from our own hives and from a trusted Western New York beekeeper. We blend this clean, golden wax with high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils to create warm, subtle, naturally scented candles — no artificial fragrances, no paraffin, no toxins.

    Because bees produce only a small amount of wax each season (and must consume 8 lbs of honey to create just 1 lb of wax), we thoughtfully supplement with locally sourced beeswax to meet demand while staying true to small-scale, local beekeeping.

    These candles are clean, simple, and naturally beautiful — free from synthetic fragrance oils and harsh additives.

    Why Beeswax + Essential Oils?

    • beeswax burns longer and cleaner than soy or paraffin

    • essential oils create soft, true, nature-based aromas

    • no artificial fragrances, chemicals, or petroleum products

    • beeswax naturally purifies the air as it burns

    • safe for homes, pets, children, and sensitive individuals

    • warm golden glow + gentle scent throw

    The scent is intentionally subtle — natural essential oils create a lighter aroma than synthetic fragrance oils, making these candles ideal for sensitive households.

    Ingredients

    Pure Beeswax,
    Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils,
    Cotton Wick

    No paraffin · No soy · No synthetic fragrance · No dyes · No chemicals

    Color & Variation
    Because we use raw, unbleached beeswax, candle color varies naturally:

    • soft golden hues

    • deeper amber tones

    • occasional variation from pollen & nectar sources

    This variation is a hallmark of purity — not a flaw.

    Burning Tips
    Beeswax burns differently than other candles. For best results:

    • trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn

    • allow the candle to reach a full melt pool on the first use

    • burn in 2–3 hour increments for even melting

    • avoid drafts to prevent tunneling

    Beeswax has a naturally bright, warm flame and a higher melting point that gives these candles incredible longevity.

    A Note About Sourcing
    We harvest wax gently and only in excess, ensuring our bees keep the resources they need. Because each hive produces limited wax, we supplement with beeswax from a trusted Western New York beekeeper who practices ethical, low-intervention methods.

    Our candles remain:

    • pure

    • local

    • sustainable

    • aligned with small-batch beekeeping values

    Care
    Store out of direct sunlight to preserve natural color and scent.
    Keep wick trimmed between burns.

  • Our cooking tallow is hand-rendered in small batches from grass-fed cattle raised on local Western New York farms. We use traditional, low-heat methods that preserve tallow’s naturally stable, nutrient-rich profile — the same way it was made for generations before industrial seed oils existed.

    No blends, no shortcuts, and no seed oils. Just pure, old-fashioned nourishment for everyday cooking.

    With a smoke point around 400°F, tallow resists oxidation and breakdown, making it one of the safest fats for frying, searing, roasting, and cast-iron cooking.

    Grassfed tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus CLA, which support immune function, hormone balance, skin health, and metabolic resilience.
    • Deep, nourishing flavor

    Tallow enriches foods the way butter does — but without burning. It adds savory depth to vegetables, eggs, meats, and homemade breads or tortillas.
    • Supports metabolic and cellular health

    The saturated and monounsaturated fats in tallow are naturally stable, highly bioavailable, and essential for nutrient absorption and cell integrity.

  • Pure Pastured Lard — A Farmstead Staple
    Our plain lard is rendered gently from pastured pork fat raised on small family farms across Western New York. This traditional fat is prized for its clean flavor, flaky baking results, and nutrient density. Lard was once the original kitchen staple—now reclaiming its place in modern ancestral cooking.

    Why Cook With Lard
    • Perfect for baking—makes pie crusts and biscuits incredibly flaky
    • Clean, neutral flavor for everyday cooking
    • Rich in vitamin D when sourced from pastured hogs
    • High smoke point for frying, roasting, and pan-searing
    • Easy to digest and deeply nourishing
    • Naturally shelf-stable
