Jordan and Jody Bendel of rural LeRoy found time recently to talk about their family business, Sweet Prairie Farm, and about making and selling gourmet honey and body care products made from the honey and beeswax they obtain from their 150 hives of bees. Earlier this spring, Jordan had been in Texas to get the hives and since then he's been mighty busy getting his hives settled for the summer season.

This young couple, who moved to the LeRoy area four years ago when they purchased the house and acreage once belonging to Gladine Eastvold, west of LeRoy on Highway 56, maintain a busy schedule keeping up with their young family of three children as well as the bees and Jordon's full time job at Mayo Clinic. Besides being in the business of being an at-home mom, Jody has been researching and designing products to complement the honey and beeswax. This is just one part of their family business.
