We have a limited amount of strawberry rhubarb crumble in our cooler case, made with our own Artisan grown rhubarb. Next week, we will have some early spring produce (lettuce and radishes) available as well. Frozen soups include chicken and dumpling, loaded baked potato and French onion.......

🐍 Snakes get a bad reputation, but they’re actually some of nature’s best helpers.
They help keep rodent populations under control, protect gardens and crops, and usually want absolutely nothing to do with people. Most snakes you see are simply passing through, looking for food, warmth, or a quiet place to hide.
Seeing a snake outside is often a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

Happy World Bee Day 🐝💛

A few of our favorite little moments from behind the lens over the years 🌼

From fuzzy pollinators in the gardens to closeups of the ladies hard at work, these are some of our favorite bee photos we’ve collected along the way.

It’s easy to overlook how important bees really are until you stop long enough to watch them. Tiny creatures doing huge work every single day.

Our pollinator garden is officially in! 🌻🐝
A huge thank you to FirstEnergy for helping make this project possible and creating a beautiful space that supports bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators.
This garden is more than just something pretty to look at. It’s helping create habitat for pollinators, encouraging biodiversity, and adding another hands-on learning space to the Artisan Garden Center
Be sure to stop by and watch it bloom throughout the season 🌼

Butler County, we need your ideas 🌱

What would you love to see at the Artisan Resiliency Center?

A community garden? Farmers markets? Family events? Workshops? Small business spaces? Outdoor classes? Walking trails? A place to gather and connect?

On May 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, we are inviting the community to tour the property, explore our gardens, see the future vision for the space, and help shape what comes next.

Come check out:
• Our growing production gardens
• The new pollinator garden sponsored by First Energy
• Early concepts and ideas for the property
• Community spaces designed to help Butler County thrive

This is a chance for the community to help guide the future of the Artisan Resiliency Center from the beginning. We want to hear your ideas, feedback, and hopes for what this space could become.

Drop your ideas in the comments and come be part of the conversation.

Free refreshments will be provided and everyone is welcome. Please RSVP so we can prepare enough food 😊
