The Living Legacy of Honey Acres

There is a plaque set into the brick bee bole wall outside Honey Acres that reads:

"Instead of dirt and poison we have rather chosen to fill our Hives with Honey and Wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things which are sweetness and light." — Jonathan Swift

 Standing there on a crisp November morning in rural Wisconsin, surrounded by traditional straw skeps nestled into stone masonry niches that date back hundreds of years in beekeeping heritage, you can’t help but feel the weight and dignity of this craft.

 Our morning walkthrough of Honey Acres with John, Narek, and Tiarra was everything we hoped for and more. To witness an operation run continuously by five generations of a family—balancing high-standard packing, artisan honey confections, and deep public education through their museum—reinforces our core mission at Foxadise Farms. It proves that American honey production can honor tradition while innovating for the future.

  We left Neosho energized, with fresh ideas, strengthened supplier ties, and our sights set on the big horizon of North Dakota.
