Small Town Honey's Russ and Sharon Koopman of Bird Island have been raising bees and selling their honey for three years. Over the last year they've started producing and selling creamed honey, which has become quite a success at the local markets.
Art, music, food and, most importantly, community can be found at both the Renville County Market in Bird Island and the Granite Falls Makers Markets this summer. Both focus on local artisans and vendors and community togetherness.
