📢 Breaking News - Currently sold out as of 1/21/26 📢

🍯 Honey Availability Update 🍯

We wanted to share a quick update on our current honey availability.

✨ Unless you already have a jar reserved (we do have two pending pickups), we are currently sold out of Large and Medium jars.

🐝 We have just 3 Small jars remaining.

At this time, there is no guarantee of another release before our next harvest, so once these are gone, they’re gone until the bees are ready again.

As always, we are incredibly grateful for the continued support and love shown for our Horseheads local raw honey. It truly means more than we can put into words — from our hives to your homes, thank you 💛

If you’d like one of the remaining smalls, feel free to message us.

Whats in my cup this morning 🍵

This cup is light, grounding, and quietly powerful — built for daily wellness, gentle support, and that exhale your body asks for when you slow down.

🌺 What’s inside & how each supports the body

Hibiscus - 2 scoops
Bright and slightly tart, hibiscus supports cardiovascular health, hydration, and metabolism. It’s rich in antioxidants and helps the body feel refreshed and less “heavy.”

Rosehips - 2 scoops
A vitamin C powerhouse that supports immune resilience, skin health, and joint comfort. Rosehips add a subtle sweetness and round out the blend beautifully.

Echinacea - 1 scoop
Immune-supportive and grounding. It helps the body stay resilient, especially during seasonal shifts or when you’re feeling run down.

Stinging Nettle - 1 scoop
Deeply nourishing and mineral-rich. Nettle supports natural detox pathways, helps reduce bloating through its mild diuretic properties, and supports overall vitality.

Holy Basil (Tulsi) – tincture
An adaptogen that helps the body respond to stress more gracefully. Tulsi supports adrenal balance, mood stability, and mental clarity.

Turmeric – tincture
Supports healthy inflammation response, joint comfort, and digestion. It brings warmth and depth to the cup.

Lemon Balm – tincture
Calming and gently uplifting. Lemon balm supports the nervous system, digestion, and emotional balance — perfect for easing tension without causing drowsiness.

Bromelain – tincture
Traditionally used to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and help the body process proteins more efficiently. A quiet helper for overall comfort.

Clove – tincture
Warming, antimicrobial, and supportive for digestion and circulation. Clove adds grounding energy and ties the blend together.

⸻

✨ Why this blend works together

Together, this cup supports:
• Immune resilience without overstimulation
• Gentle detox & reduced bloating
• Stress regulation & nervous system support
• Digestive ease & inflammation balance

It’s light but meaningful. Nourishing without being heavy.
The kind of cup that supports your body while letting it do what it already knows how to do.

A reminder that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it’s just what you choose to pour into your cup

We pause our normal posting to take a minute to re-introduce ourselves for the new year…..

**Side note - Eric will hate that I used AI to create this family “like” rendering from our Christmas photo…. But it’s a great guide for when we *finally* can get everyone scheduled to do a family/promo/shoot 😂)**

Connell’s Freedom Farms began about five+ years ago as a small urban homestead, rooted in generational gardening knowledge and a desire to be more intentional about what we brought into our home and shared with others.

What started with soil and seeds quickly grew into raising chickens for truly organic eggs, followed by the addition of bees the very next year. While much about chickens and beekeeping was new to us, the philosophy behind it was not. From day one, we brought with us a commitment to doing things the right way — the organic way — with a focus on wellness, stewardship, and the integrity of the final product.

We have never been interested in the cheapest or fastest approach. Quality has always come first. That means organic feed and treats, thoughtful care, and planting with intention — not just for harvest, but to support our chickens and bees as part of a larger, connected system. Much of what we grow is chosen specifically to nourish the animals, support pollination, and create a true circle of wellness, starting with the soil and carrying all the way through to the food and products you bring into your home.

That same philosophy naturally extends into the construction and remodeling side of our work. While our construction services operate under a closely connected name, the heart behind both is the same. The patience required to tend healthy hives mirrors the care it takes to build something that lasts. The attention we give to the land and animals reflects the craftsmanship we bring into every home.

Our construction work is handled foundation to finish, with no subcontractors. From framing and structural work to electrical, plumbing, and final finishes, every step is completed by our own team — seasoned professionals with 30+ years of experience each. That level of continuity, accountability, and pride is intentional.

Connell’s Freedom Farms at its core is not a trend-driven brand or a side project. It is built on decades of experience, deep respect for process, and a belief that integrity matters — whether you’re producing food or building a home.

Whether you’re bringing home farm-fresh eggs, local raw honey, seasonal herbs, or welcoming us into your home for a remodel, you can expect the same care, intention, and attention to detail in everything we do.

Most of our work comes from referrals — and we don’t take that lightly.

If we’ve worked in your home and you loved the experience, a quick comment, share, or recommendation means more than you know. ❤️

We’re a family-run, fully insured construction team focused on doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no subcontracting, just quality craftsmanship from foundation to finish.

We’re currently booking inside projects for February–April, and we’d love to help more families create spaces that truly work for them.

🍯 Honey Update from Connell’s Freedom Farms 🍯

We’ve just finished bottling our latest round of freshly uncapped honey, and this may be one of our final releases for the season.

At this point, we may have enough left for one more round of uncapping and bottling, but we truly don’t know what that will yield — so if you love our honey or have been waiting to try it for the first time, now is the time to secure your jar.

After fulfilling our waitlist orders, we currently have:

✨ $30 – Large (3 lb) | Sold Out
✨ $20 – Medium (2 lb) | 9 available
✨ $10 – Small (1 lb) | 7 available

All jars are presented in glass and include a wooden honey utensil.

We can hope for another release… but there are no promises. If this is it, our next harvest wouldn’t be until Fall (unless our Head Bee Keeper decides to surprise us with a double harvest 🐝😉).

Message us to claim yours — once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Thank you, as always, for supporting our bees and our little urban family farm 🤍

What’s in my cup today 🫖 (3 days in a row🥳)

I was craving something light but meaningful — nourishing without being heavy — so this blend felt just right.

✨ Organic rosehips
✨ Organic hibiscus
✨ Organic stinging nettle
✨ Organic raspberry leaf
✨ Organic dandelion root
✨ Organic chamomile & lavender
🍯 Finished with a little organic vanilla-infused honey from our own hives

⸻

Why this cup felt right today

This blend is supportive in a quiet, steady way — the kind that works with your body instead of pushing it.

• Feeling lighter & gentle weight support
Dandelion root supports digestion and liver function, helping the body release what it doesn’t need, while hibiscus also supports metabolism and fluid balance — a helpful combo when you’re feeling heavy or sluggish rather than truly hungry.

• Bloating & natural detox support
Stinging nettle supports the body’s natural detox pathways and, through its mild diuretic properties, can help reduce bloating and water retention without being harsh or depleting.

• Adrenal fatigue & depletion
Nettle and raspberry leaf are deeply nourishing herbs, rich in minerals that support the nervous system when you’re running on empty or stretched thin.

• Stress & digestion support
Chamomile supports gentle digestion while calming the nervous system, and lavender helps soften tension — encouraging the body to shift out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-digest.

• Overall balance
Hibiscus and rosehips add antioxidants and a bright, uplifting note — supporting circulation, hydration, and that “lighter” feeling both physically and mentally.

Nothing aggressive. Nothing harsh. Just steady support.

⸻

A little herbal honesty 🤍

I typically reach for dandelion tincture, but I’m down to my last bottle — and that one is already earmarked for someone else. While I usually forage spring dandelions from our untreated yard, I’ve had recent requests and just placed an order from a trusted supplier.

The thing is — if I don’t have it in tincture form, I often have it in tea form, which when organic (and when you actually check the ingredients) is typically just the herb or root ground a little thinner.

Today, this cup was exactly what I needed. 💛

Sources: all herbs were sourced from Herbee Homestead minus the nettle - that came from Kokoro Naturopathic & Apothecary 2.0 and the pre-bagged tea bags are from Traditional Medicinals

01/06/2026

What’s in my cup this morning? 🍵

There was a little extra pep in my step today, so I reached for a few of my favorite local teas from Herbee Homestead

Loose-leaf tea is actually super easy to work with. We keep organic, unbleached tea bags on hand (Amazon or most natural food stores), and I also love these cute little silicone tea steepers — simple, reusable, and they make me giggle (I do prefer the bags - when your tea is done, toss the entire thing into your compost (depending on the tea bags you choose)

🌿 Today’s base teas:

Above and Beyond Immune Tea
• Elderberry – immune-supportive and rich in antioxidants
• Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower) (flower & root — you might already grow this!) – supports immune response and overall resilience
• Peppermint leaf – aids digestion and adds a refreshing lift
• Rose hips – naturally high in vitamin C
• Nettle leaf – mineral-rich, nourishing, and supportive for seasonal wellness
• Eleuthero root – an adaptogen that supports energy, stamina, and stress response

Bee Nourished
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) – a powerful adaptogen that helps the body adapt to stress and supports balance
• Nettle – deeply nourishing and mineral-dense
• Borage – traditionally used to support vitality and overall nourishment

🌼 What I added to my cup:

• Our Lemon Balm Tincture – calming, mood-supportive, and gentle on the nervous system
• Turmeric Tincture (yes… the ghetto labels 🤪 — we save the pretty ones for you) – supports inflammation response and overall wellness
• A little extra Tulsi – because sometimes your body says “yes, more please”
• And of course… a spoonful of our own honey 🍯

We filled honey bottles last night and will have a very limited release coming up. First, we’ll work through our waitlist — and after that, we’re likely looking at a total sell-out until next harvest. If honey is your thing, get your name on the list for priority fulfillment and keep an eye out 👀

Just a little reminder:
✨ Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated — but it should be intentional.

I’m easing myself back into a routine, so consider this the official start of my “what’s in your cup?” season.

So… what are you sipping today? 💛
