This customer will be getting something eggstra special! |
Meanwhile, we are staying busy. During this time, all our us, and any passing-by strangers, stay busy all day long getting out hive orders. We were so busy this past week that we didn't even notice a chicken had walked into the packing area, and laid an egg in a box (picture above). Luckily, someone noticed it before we shipped this out the door! I guess that's a real sign of being an actual honey bee & chicken farm on an actual farm in the actual country.

There's a few more signs of spring here in Illinois. The grass is a little greener, and tree buds are swelling. Precious few bees have been out though cause it's still pretty nippy.
Folks have been anxious for another honey recipe. So I leave you with this delicious honey and fruit salad, so wonderful for spring.
Pear and Honey Salad
6 oz fresh baby spinach
4 medium pears (or 2 pears and 1 orange, peeled and sectioned)
2 T feta cheese
1 T chopped pistachios (or your favorite nut, we prefer sunflower)
DRESSING:
3 T olive oil
2 T orange juice
1 T lemon juice
2 t honey
1/2 t grated orange peel
1/4 t salt
Divide all ingredients among four plates. Whisk dressing ingredients, drizzle over salad. Enjoy.....fast! :-)
