Honey-Badger Homestead

Welcome to Honey-Badger Homestead

We’re a small, family-run homestead where the bees are the heart of it all. Everything we make—tallow balms, soaps, honey, and more—is crafted by hand using ingredients we grow, forage, or source with intention. We believe in cutting out toxins and going back to the basics—real ingredients, slow methods, and the wisdom of nature. Rooted in tradition and guided by the seasons, our products are made to nourish your skin, support your health, and honor the land and the hive.

What’s in season

At Honey-Badger Homestead, we follow the rhythms of the seasons — which means our offerings change throughout the year based on what’s growing, blooming, and thriving around us.


Our seasonal soaps, tallow balms, and honey-based goods are made with fresh ingredients we grow, forage, or harvest during that time of year. This might include medicinal mushrooms like chaga and turkey tail, wild violets and dandelions in the spring, calendula and chamomile in the summer, or pine and rose-hips in the winter.

Bee Relocation & Swarm Removal

We offer live bee removal services—cut-outs and swarm rescues—throughout our local area. Rather than extermination, we carefully relocate the bees to our homestead apiary, where they’re able to settle into a chemical-free, supportive environment. If you discover a swarm or an unwanted hive on your property, get in touch—we’re here to protect both your space and the bees.
