A few Saturdays back, I went on a small road trip with my Mom. We went to the State Center Rose Garden. We went to the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge. We went to Hardee’s in Indianola! Then we ended up at Shannon and Jason’s store Honey Hollow. It is located in their lower level of their house near Indianola. It is really nice!
Have a look:
You can buy honey, creamed honey (which apparently is a thing), bees. hive equipment, wax, soap, and brooms there. Here is how you get there:
“Located halfway between Des Moines and Indianola, Iowa. Head south out of Des Moines on highway 65/69 toward Indianola until you come to Summerset Rd. Turn east and we are .6 miles down Summerset Rd, nestled between Summerset Trail and Plug Run Creek. Our 2 story log cabin is very visible from the road.”
Their hours are something like 5-8 on Tuesday nights and 10-2 on Saturdays. I might be wrong about that, but it isn’t it more important that is just feels right?
I’ll go more into the creamed honey at a later date.
I keep meaning to text Shan and see if I can get order some of this creamed honey for pickup at a time when there isn’t a pandemic. It sounds amazing.
I’m pretty sure that would be a safe place to go during the pandemic.
But I might be going down there to pick up some more in September. I could pick some up for you.
I would totally take you up on that! Or let me know if you want a road trip buddy. Either is great!
So glad you and your mom came out! And I’m looking forward to that creamed honey review. Angie – you know I would make a trip to Ames to deliver 😉 Well, after we’re done extracting honey.
Shan, you know that we’d love to see you! <3 I think Charlie would prefer that, as I don't think I'd likely bring him down – he would be a very small wrecking ball in the store!
