Welcome to the Internet home of MeadowRidge Bee Farm! We are a small apiary in central Illinois located in the Mackinaw River Dells between Bloomington and Peoria. Here you can purchase pure honey, soaps and skincare products containing honey, beeswax, propolis, and/or royal jelly as well as other items offered seasonally, such as beeswax candles, honey dippers, bee-themed books, socks, and handmade wood items. Please bear with us as we update our web store. New products will be added as they are photographed and uploaded. Check back often or send us a message if you’re looking for something in particular! 

MeadowRidge Bee Farm products are also available at various locations and vendor markets. You can find honey, skincare products, and soaps at Serendipity Mercantile, 902 IAA Drive, Bloomington, IL. Due to the unexpected closure of Painted Tree Boutiques in Bloomington, IL, our shop is no longer available there. Over the past year, our website was also offline as we navigated these changes, and we sincerely appreciate your patience during that time. We’re still here, continuing to care for our bees and create the products you love. While the future is still taking shape, we’re grateful for your support and look forward to what’s ahead.

Check out our Events Calendar to see where you can find us in person.

Advantages to purchasing at vendor markets:

1. No pictures and descriptions can replace physically seeing, touching, tasting, and smelling our products. Come see us to check out the samples.
2. No shipping charges or need to arrange pick-up or delivery. Take your purchases home with you, or order customization if available.
3. Sales tax is included in the item price of cash sales. To simplify the checkout process, we include sales tax in our items at vendor markets. For your convenience, we accept cash and credit card (via Square).

We love to meet our customers! We hope that in meeting you and giving you personal attention we are able to build a trusting relationship.

And 10% of your purchase helps support the young beekeepers at Salem4Youth ranch in Flanagan, Illinois, furthering beekeeping in the younger generation and promoting bee awareness. It’s a Win-Win!
