Uh oh!

 

Uh oh. Don't know how well it shows here, but this tree has a big split in the middle of the trunk, and it stands right over our beehives. We moved our entire apiary out from under it after our tree guy came out and said it could fall any time. We heard it creaking, and he hurried to move his truck. With any luck, they'll be out Friday to take it down.

End of the Year


A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our shows this year, who purchased something from the stores we are in, or who put in a special order for us to fill. We've had a great season, and we couldn't have done it without you.

If there's something you still need, it's not too late. We still have items on hand, and would rather put them in your hands than into storage. Drop us a message and we will do our best to take care of you. In the meantime, Happy Holidays to one and all!

Chriskindl Market at Big Muddy Brewery in Murphysboro

We've got one more event coming up this season, one more opportunity to come out and take a look at our wares, one more chance to get the perfect gift your you loved ones (and maybe even for yourself as well).

We will be at Big Muddy Brewery in Murphysboro, IL, for their Christkindl Dinner on Friday starting at 4:00 and the Chriskindl Market on Saturday at noon. Join us for good beer, good shopping, and good times.
 
Whenever we have a show coming up we keep a sharp eye on the weather. This weekend promises to be the coldest we've had in quite a while. Why would you want to drink cold beer on a cold day? Watch the clip for the explanation from an expert.
