Beekeepers since 1998, Tony and Alethia began with three hives in their backyard. In 2004, with 10 hives, Tony began to provide pollinating services to small farmers in the local area. Since then, the number of hives and farmers being served has continued to grow. The 2005 honey crop was the best harvest yet, with three distinct seasons of honey and four distinct colors and flavors of honey collected. Honey is sold in four sizes of bottles and a limited quantity of comb honey in pint-size jars. A gift-size 6-oz. honey bear is also available.

Since teenage, Alethia has had a personal interest in herbal remedies and personal care items made from all natural ingredients. She makes various soaps, using a cold-process lye method, much the same way that her grandmother and great-grandmother did, scented with herbs and essential oils. Alethia also makes lotions, lip balm, and solid lotion bars with natural ingredients and beeswax from her own honeybees. These products contain no dyes or petroleum-based products, making them especially appealing to those with skin problems and allergies. She also makes custom gift baskets with her products and honey.

Future plans include raising blackberries and blueberries. Anticipated harvests: 2008-Blackberries and 2009-Blueberries!

Formed in 1997 by local farmers in the community, buyers come from surrounding towns and cities and throughout the Midwest to purchase locally grown produce.

    Looking for a place to make memories?  Family owned and family operated, Christian Way Farm & Mini Golf is the perfect place.  Milton Corley is a third generation farmer who enjoys sharing his love for the farm with visitors of all ages.  Opening the farm to the public in 1998, Milton, his wife Janie, and their three children, introduced a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and animals to the school children of Christian County.  A few short years later they opened the farm to the general public and expanded the operation to include spring and summer activities on the farm—planting and harvesting and learning about the foods farmers grow for all our favorite meals.   Their visitors experience feeding the farm animals from corn they might shell and grind.  Playtime is great with corn trucks, playground equipment and, in the fall, a straw castle.  Fall includes tractor wagon sides to pick pumpkins and visit the corn maze.  Climb on the hay castle and enjoy a great fall day on the farm. 

    In August 2012, Christian Way Mini Golf opens to provide almost year-round entertainment on the farm.  With the tradition of the rest of the farm, antique farm equipment has been incorporated into a resort-quality 18-hole miniature golf course, complete with water features.  Nine holes of the course are fully accessible for wheelchairs .  The course starts with a practice green so you can warm up before playing .

    The farm has picnic areas, a farm gift shop and rocking chairs on the porch of the barn waiting just for you!!   Come make lots of great memories on the farm!
