Templar Farms provides locally sourced honey and honey products from right here in Northeast Indiana. You will find a variety of honeys from buckwheat, wildflower, clover and more. Each has a unique flavor profile and coloring. 

For the true honey connoisseur, there is whole honeycomb! Beeswax candles and bricks of beeswax that have a multitude of uses are also available.

 My favorite medium is currently pen and ink, but liquid graphite is coming pretty close. I do watercolor, acrylic, pastels, and some scratch board too or anything that looks like an art medium and fun!  In 2015 I opened the Art Giraffe studio after I retired from teaching.  I love teaching and sharing my passion for art. 

 Cast leaves created by Diana Iden. Believe it or not - these are actually made from concrete. Weatherproofed for indoor or outdoor use. They look beautiful in your garden or as an accent in a pot. They also look fantastic on a mantel or as a centerpiece!
