One-time farm sponsorship · No ownership interest · Secure Stripe checkout
A family-owned CNC shop in Utah—friends whose family helped build this work—has continued holding roughly 8,000 pounds of our finished hive equipment. We need help completing our end of the agreement, paying the remaining balance, and bringing the equipment home so their facility can move forward and this living demonstration can begin.
Watch the story behind the work, the movement and the families we serve.
Our family. Our farm. A shared demonstration.
Mysliwiec Family Farm is our family home and the regenerative demonstration we're building on twenty off-grid acres in the Missouri Ozarks. Jamon and Rianna Mysliwiec spearhead the farm and mission while raising the next generation of The Independent American Family. TIAG initiatives sponsor this work. Haven Permaculture is its design home, through our personal design work and hands-on implementation for our own family.
For six years, our family has traveled, taught and built alongside other families. Here, agroforestry, silvopasture, natural beekeeping, gardens, livestock, water and family life are being developed as one connected system. We're working toward TIAG Hub certification as the farm takes shape.
Natural beekeeping is the immediate priority. The apiary — the place where we keep and care for our hives — will be productive farm infrastructure and an open educational record. Your sponsorship helps us build it under real conditions and share what we learn.
The complete founding offer
Everything included with your sponsorship
Your approved individual, family, business, gift or memorial name will be placed on a recognition plaque displayed within the demonstration apiary, including on hive exteriors. Recognition does not indicate ownership.
A permanent place in the dedicated Regenerative Apiaries Everywhere community of founding sponsors.
You will be added to our exclusive founders list for the first opportunity to purchase all apiary surplus we offer for sale: honey, beeswax, propolis, pollen, colony splits, bee bread and other hive products. We will notify everyone on the list together as surplus becomes available—before it goes on sale to the public.
Purchases are separate from sponsorship. Photos show past harvests, not current stock. Availability is limited and varies; no product or quantity is guaranteed or reserved for an individual founder.
Lifetime access to Natural Beekeeping for Regenerative Apiaries Everywhere—the dedicated course series curated from the Independence Series and expanded through this working demonstration.
All dedicated classes, micro-courses, live-event recordings, online demonstrations, webinar tickets, field updates and additions to the beekeeping digital resource library—included for life.
Continue learning and building alongside the wider Independent American Gardener community without an ongoing membership fee.
Founding access to the TIAG applications and the connected digital tools and resource-library efforts we build for this initiative.

Your contribution supports the demonstration as a whole. It does not purchase, reserve or create ownership, equity, a lien, collateral, harvest rights or any other claim in a hive, colony, equipment or farm asset.
The hive we trust with our own family’s food system
This is not a conventional stack of boxes. It is our Version 4 insulated horizontal Layens hive, refined through five years of hands-on work and built for natural, low-intervention beekeeping.
Built to insulate more like a tree cavity, keep the work at waist height, reduce disruption to the brood chamber and serve families for decades—not seasons.
Read “The Hive We Trust” (opens in a new tab)
Explore our Lulu’s Garden product graphics. Open either image at full size to read the details. These explain the hive design; a $500 sponsorship does not include a hive.
The course becomes the fieldwork
This is more than opening boxes and harvesting honey. We will document the decisions, setbacks, adaptations and seasonal work required to establish an apiary as part of an interconnected homestead.
One apiary. One connected system.
Pollination, layered forage and perennial abundance.
Rotational grazing with our milk cow and a rotating bull.
Season-long bloom, insect balance and productive edges.
Practical resilience built through integrated systems.
Founders keep their seat
Your founding access includes the new Regenerative Apiaries Everywhere learning community and its dedicated natural-beekeeping series, drawing from the Independence Series and everything we create for this project going forward.

Founders Inner Circle privilege

Become a Founding SponsorThe people. The teaching. The tools.
Our farm is the hands-on demonstration. TIAG connects the families. The Independence Series carries the teaching home, and Haven Permaculture helps turn ideas into a plan for your land. Your sponsorship brings you into this work through the lifetime access and founding benefits listed above.
A shared starting point for community, places, courses and resources. Founding Sponsors receive lifetime TIAG community and app access.
The existing series is the foundation for our dedicated regenerative-beekeeping course. Founders receive the apiary lessons, recordings and digital resources as we create them.

Leading the Farm, Mission & Family
Independent American Gardener & Independent American Mama
Raising the next generation of The Independent American Family.
Our farm, mission and family are spearheaded by Jamon Mysliwiec — Independent American Gardener — and Rianna Mysliwiec — Independent American Mama. We're raising the next generation of The Independent American Family through the work we live, build and teach together.
Jamon founded TIAG and is a certified permaculture designer and lead designer at Haven Permaculture. Rianna co-founded TIAG and leads The Independent American Mama community. Together, we shape the farm's design and carry it into daily family life and hands-on implementation.
Rianna has taught beside Jamon throughout our travels, including object lessons in family homes across the country. At the 2026 Ozarks Homesteading Expo, Jamon introduced her on stage during his featured session and she helped teach an object lesson. The teaching grows out of work we've lived and built together.
This farm needs support to reach its goals. The founding sponsorship is a practical way to help now, and we also welcome conversations about investing in the wider farm plan. Our purpose is to create systems our children can live with and other families can learn from.

You can still help bring the apiary home. Choose any amount from $5 upward. Even $10 moves the equipment another piece of the way.
Clear answers
Each $500 sponsorship supports the overall farm demonstration: completing our agreement with the CNC shop, transportation, fencing, site preparation, metal hive wrapping, farm-wide pollinator planting, protection systems, basic operating expenses, workshops, documentation and continuing educational resources.
Nothing changes. Sponsorships support the demonstration as a whole and are not assigned to particular hives. Every Founding Sponsor receives the stated benefits and recognition plaque regardless of the number of physical hives. Plaques may share display locations within the apiary.
No. This is a sponsorship and founding-membership purchase through Mysliwiec Family Farm. It is not represented as tax-deductible.
You may request an individual, family, business, gift or memorial name. We will confirm the wording with you, and all plaque language is subject to approval.
We will contact sponsors using the email provided at checkout with plaque confirmation and founding-member onboarding details as the community and first resources are opened.
Every Founding Sponsor will be added to our exclusive founders list. Whenever we offer apiary surplus for sale—including honey, beeswax, propolis, pollen, colony splits, bee bread and other hive products—we will contact everyone on that list together as soon as it is available. Founders get the first opportunity to purchase before the offer goes live to the public.
This is a group early-purchase opportunity, not an individual reservation or an entitlement to a harvest. Quantities and products depend on available surplus, and no supply or allocation is guaranteed. Purchases are optional and paid separately; sponsorship itself includes no hive products and creates no ownership, lien or harvest rights.
All future TIAG and Regenerative Apiaries Everywhere online learning events, workshops, demonstrations, webinars and membership events are free. Our physical live events, whether on the farm or elsewhere, are up to 20% off admission—not automatically free. Materials and other physical goods for in-person events are charged separately at cost and are excluded from the admission discount. The applicable admission discount and goods costs will be stated for each event.
Each Founding Sponsor receives a unique, shareable coupon code. It provides free access to our online learning events, 10% off future hive sales, up to 20% off our physical live events on-farm or elsewhere, and up to 40% off Haven Permaculture design services and consulting. Sponsors may share their code with family and friends. Physical-event materials and other goods are charged separately at cost. Exact event and service discounts are confirmed with the event details or service quote; “up to” does not mean a flat discount on every offering.
Yes. Every sponsor receives one complimentary 90-minute permaculture consultation. The additional benefit is up to 40% off Haven Permaculture design services and consulting. Reference your Founding Sponsor code when requesting a quote so the applicable service discount can be confirmed before you commit.
Each Founding Sponsor receives one complimentary 90-minute permaculture consultation. We can focus it on natural beekeeping, homegrown food production, food forests or the wider regenerative systems around the sponsor’s property. This benefit is provided once per sponsor, rather than once per sponsored hive.
No. A sponsorship is not a purchase or investment in farm property. It does not transfer ownership or create any lien, equity, collateral, security interest, revenue interest, harvest right or other claim involving a hive, colony, equipment, honey, land or farm asset. Sponsor benefits are the education, community access, discounts, consultation, recognition and founders-first surplus purchase opportunities described on this page.
