Milk & Honey Orchard and Apiary, LLC

I started this business believing that we can offer honey and orchard creations with the land we are blessed with. To create artisanal products that only require divine, earth and livestock organically. As a small, unique shop I have strolled forward to offer so much more than I ever envisioned. I study in internationally, and through this academia have gained the title of Honey Sommelier. Being able to identify the botanicals the bees gather nectar from in creating their artisanal honey. And I get the esteemed duty of rendering and pairing these.

I also create orchard, floral and berry goods which we produce on our acreage. And with this appreciation of what our bees are pollinating and gathering, we get to full circle. From floral to nectar, pollinating to fruit, honey to delicacy.

We knew cheese would be part of the story and have worked to pair honeys with local Iowa cheeses for the past 4 years. Having just finished World Artisan Cheese certification, we can now add freelance cheesemonger to the mix. We are currently in the planning phase of adding our own Affinage alongside our Apiary.
