East AsterAt East Aster we believe that we all have nature within us and that nature is intelligent. It is not something our society can define through reductionist approaches because the variables are so complex, but its simplicity is felt deeply as soon as we walk into the forest of step waist deep into the ocean. Our work is a reflection of this perspective. Our products are not made in a lab. Instead they are crafted by natures intelligence and then wrapped in scientific observation. Let’s create a new narrative for agriculture, urban landcare, and wild bioregions. Let’s make chemicals irrelevant in growing.

Heartland Honey

I, Joli, have been a beekeeper since 1972 and My husband Cecil has been a beekeeper since the early 1980’s. We sold beekeeping supplies for 30 years and Cecil went to California each year until 2020 to pick up package bees to sell to other beekeepers in the area. We are very active in the local beekeeper “scene”. We are lifetime members of the Midwestern Beekeepers Assn. on the KC Missouri side- I was the newsletter editor for more than 20 years and Cecil held many offices there too- we are no longer active in that organization. I also started their beginner beekeeping class which they continue to this day.
