Welcome to The Buzz
Life at Wildly Hopefull Homestead is always humming, and we’re excited to share a little of it with you here. The Buzz is where we write about the sweetness of simple living – stories from the bee yard, tips from the homestead, and reflections on slowing down and savoring what’s homegrown and handmade.
Whether you’re here to learn more about bees, find inspiration for simple living, or just enjoy a peek into our daily rhythm, we’re glad you stopped by. Pull up a chair, pour a cup of tea, and stay awhile – there’s always something buzzing here.
Tending to the bees
August 23, 2025
We suited up and spent the morning tending to our bees – checking the frames, making sure everyone was healthy, and giving the colonies the care they need to thrive. There’s something so grounding about opening a hive: the scent of warm wax and honey, the sight of bees working together in perfect rhythm, and the quiet reminder that nature is always at work, even when we don’t see it.
The bees are looking strong and busy, and it won’t be long before their hard work fills more jars of raw, golden honey for us to share with you. Every time we step away from the hives, we carry with us not only gratitude for the bees, but also a renewed sense of wonder for this simple, connected way of life.
Our honey jar labels are done
July 28, 2025
It may seem like a small detail, but for us it feels like such a big milestone. These labels represent the care, love, and hard work that has gone into every part of Wildly Hopefull Homestead.
Over the next few days, we’ll be busy hand-labeling each jar of our raw, local honey. It’s the final touch before we can share this sweetness with all of you. Every label we place is a reminder of the journey—tending the bees, harvesting with care, and keeping things as pure and simple as nature intended.
Soon, you’ll be able to bring a little taste of our homestead to your table. Thank you for following along on this journey—we’re just getting started, and we’re so grateful you’re here with us!
Fresh from the Nest: Our Farm Fresh Duck Eggs
june 7, 2025
At Wildly Hopefull Homestead, we’re always finding joy in the little things – like the first eggs of the morning, warm and tucked gently in the nest. Our ducks are happy, free to roam and forage naturally, which means their eggs are packed with flavor and nutrients you just can’t find in store-bought varieties.
Duck eggs are rich, creamy, and perfect for baking, cooking, or enjoying simply fried or boiled. We love sharing them with our customers who appreciate the difference that comes from caring for our animals with respect and letting nature take its course. Got blessed with a double-yolk—check out the monster egg in the back of this picture.
Meet a Few of Our Feathered Friends
may 16, 2025
Life at Wildly Hopefull Homestead wouldn’t be the same without the cheerful quacks and waddling antics of our ducks. Each one has a personality all its own, and we love sharing our days with these curious, friendly, and sometimes mischievous birds.
Our ducks aren’t just charming companions – they’re an important part of the homestead. They provide us with rich, flavorful eggs, and remind us daily of the joy that comes from caring for animals with love and patience.
