Hello Everyone! 

How are we halfway through summer already?! What a month it’s been – we’ve met so many new faces, the website got an update (farm store products are now available for online shopping), we have grown from 70 hives to 100 with 5 on site; the apples are starting to blush, tomatoes are getting to be the size of my fist, and long beans are coming in strong. We planted ginger, okra, potatoes, winter squash, and watermelon this month, and harvested the first honey frames of the season. Up next? More hives and pumpkins! 

Have you flipped your garden beds yet? We would recommend Okra, Watermelon, Pumpkin, Eggplant, and Winter Squash for a late summer/early fall crop. If you’re looking for flowers and ornamentals- Sunflower, Gomphrena, Zinnia, and Cosmos can tolerate our summers and should bloom for you before fall comes along. 

What’s new in store?

Blomma Forever Flowers:

 Sunflowers, Daisies, Roses, oh my! These crocheted flowers are sure to be a crowd pleaser. Can’t pick just one? Our staff would be honored to help you make a bouquet for that special someone in your life.

Final Approach Ranch: 

We’ve been blessed to feature rotating produce from their ranch as our beds and orchard begin their first season. In stock now? Red onion! If you’re a local beekeper, they also build top feeders; pre-order here in store for supplementing your hives through winter. 

Lake Granbury Honey: 

New 4oz glass jars and wildflower honey sticks have been added to the honey wall. We also now have front feeders for sale- don’t forget to feed your hives through dearth. 

Are you looking for something to do with the kids this summer? Give us a call or shoot us an email – we would be honored to host a morning on the farm. We offer classroom experiences, tours of the farm, and would love to work out a “field trip” for you and your friend group with hands-on learning activities. 

We’re here Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 9am – 4pm. Can’t catch us then? Check us out on Facebook and Instagram @LakeGranburyHoney. Give us a like, follow, and drop a Google Review.

Yours in Gratitude,
