Honey Farms & Apiaries in Iowa

Cedar Creek Apiaries

Guttenberg, IA

Carol and Tim O'Brien started Cedar Creek Apiaries in 1977, and Carol has run a honey stand in Guttenberg ever since. The apiary produces several honey varieties, including a Basswood honey and a Summer Blend, drawn from hives along the Mississippi River bluffs. Nearly five decades in, it's one of the older continuously operating honey producers in this part of the state.

Ebert Honey LLC

Ebert Honey has grown from the roughly ten backyard colonies Phil Ebert kept at his Fairfield, Iowa home in 1980 into a multi-location operation with facilities in Lynnville and Mount Vernon, plus commercial pollination work in California. The family business sells honey, beeswax, pollen, and live bees — packages, nucs, singles, and queens.

Furry Woods Honey Farm has a website live under its name, but the site's content did not load during research beyond confirming honey as the core product. Location, hours, and specific offerings are currently unverified.

The family also grows hydroponic microgreens and wheatgrass with reverse-osmosis water and no chemicals, plus beeswax lotion bars, food wraps, and monthly microgreen subscriptions; local pickup only.
