If you have visited our LionBerry booth at a recent show, you have probably seen bottles of honey from our friends at SHoney Farm and Kennel. Located in Pottawatomie County,
Kenny and Courtney started Shoney in 2021 with a single hive and have now grown into a multi-yard operation where they raise honeybees, harvest honeycomb and sell delicious honey-based products. You can visit their site here: shoneyfarm.com
They also happen to supply the raw honey that we mix into our LionBerry Restorative Refresher, which adds a little sweetness.
We are proud to partner with SHoney Farm and other local businesses because we are Stronger Together than we are apart!
People act like small batch is a hobby.
Nope.
Every bottle from a small farmer is a value-added product inside a value food chain.
That chain is made of humans, not container ships.
If global trade gets tariffed to death, or the truckers strike, or a war kicks off, or a fuel shortage hits, or a natural disaster…guess what?
Walmart will not be driving to Thailand for pineapple juice.
Local food is the only thing that can actually disrupt the global supply chain — in a good way.
And here’s the delusion:
Everyone thinks “we’ll connect with the local farmers when we need them.”
Nope.
If the shelves go empty, it’s already too late.
Now is the time to get the relationships built. The value chain in motion.
Now is the time to slot locals in the stores — even if it’s as “novelty items” at first on a local farm shelf.
Because when the global pipeline hiccups?
The people who will actually feed your region
aren’t the ones with the biggest warehouses.
Shop local or… we’ll be learning how to season cardboard and call it rustic.
