Honey Coming In

After a brutal Winter & Spring, the bees are starting to right themselves. Having decided last year to go part-time as a boutique honey beekeeper, I have sold out of all my honey, and I’m managing for as much as possible this year! I’ve started making my own frame foundation from 17 years of saved up wax… and it’s a lot of work, but a financial game-changer. Will add another hive & extend the electric fence for better solar wax melting, and it will be time to do first organic mite treatment & start the over-Winter insurance nucs. X fingers. ❤️

Stowe Farmer’s Market

I’m doing fill in at the Stowe Farmer’s Market on Sundays from 10AM – 2 PM, whenever they call. It’s beautiful, as you can see. Honey, candles, Sigewif poem artifacts and soon, damascus kitchenware & rings. ❤️

Capitol City Farmer’s Markets

I’ll be at the Capitol City Farmer’s Market, In Montpelier, Vermont almost every Saturday this Season through October, with honey, candles, Sigewif poem inspired jewelry & artifacts, and damascus kitchenware & rings. You can also find some of Vermont’s best farm produce, food and crafts.

Fair kingdoms afield heard word far and wide

Of the beauty and bounty that Queen Sigga bore

But mindful of fame must those be who find it.

For one who heard word of her wonder… waged war.

Fall Honey Available

More honey! I harvested more late Summer and some dark Fall honey. This harvest is less malty and more citrussy than the Mid-Summer, and the specifically chosen Fall honey (darker in the picture,) is AMAZING… goldenrod, knotweed & asters. A local neighbor won an international honey competition with this Fall honey last year. It’s that good. $20 / pint / 1.1 lb for Summer, $30 for Fall. (Worth it!) Shipping usually $10 USPS. Inquire!

New Venues

I’ve done re-enactment of various sorts since I was a teenager, but mostly enjoyed the armored combat. I’ve decided to start merchanting at events; selling honey, jewelry & blades. Will still gladly make damascus rings, but the wedding industry has really slowed down since covid as far as regular business goes, so here’s to a few fun new avenues. Also planning for local farmer’s markets, where I’ll dress normal. 😀

Damascus Ring Set

Stainless damascus ring set with gold & aquamarine

Yes, I am still making damascus rings, though I am focusing more on bees and bee-story artwork! Lovely set in stainless damascus steel with a light aquamarine and 14K gold. Handmade right here in the Green Mountains, and some of the best being made.
