Frequently Asked Questions

Thank you so much for supporting our small family farm. Every order is carefully made and packed by just the two of us. Please allow 3–5 extra business days for processing during busy times. While most orders ship sooner, occasional delays may happen when we are experiencing a high volume of orders.

Because of the nature of our products, we do not accept returns or exchanges. However, your satisfaction means everything to us. If there is ever an issue with your order, please reach out to us at latoskifamilyfarm@gmail.com, and we will gladly work with you to make it right.

We truly appreciate your support of our farm and our work.

Why do you only ship honey within Michigan?

We are currently working through state-by-state regulations to ensure we can legally and responsibly ship our raw honey beyond Michigan.

Because food laws vary from state to state, we are taking the time to verify requirements and remain fully compliant with both state and federal guidelines, including those overseen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Our goal is to expand shipping in the future — but only once we are confident we are meeting all necessary regulations.

We appreciate your patience and support as we grow the right way.

Why does my honey crystallize?
Crystallization is natural and a sign of real, raw honey. Temperature, flower source, and time all affect how fast it crystallizes.

How do I decrystallize honey?
Place the jar in warm (not boiling) water and stir occasionally until smooth. Avoid microwaving, as high heat can damage the honey.

Honey should not be given to infants under one (1) year of age due to the risk of infant botulism. Honey is safe for children over one year old and adults.

What are the benefits of tallow skincare?

Tallow closely mirrors the natural oils found in human skin, allowing it to absorb easily while deeply nourishing and protecting the skin. It is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and helps support a healthy skin barrier without synthetic ingredients.

How long does tallow skincare last?

We use a natural rendering and formulation process, our tallow products are best used within one year. We do not use preservatives, and for best quality we recommend proper storage (listed below)

Keep in a cool, dry place (around 68–77°F / 20–25°C)

• Avoid direct sunlight or heat

• Keep the lid tightly closed and use with clean dry hands.

Why does the texture of tallow change with temperature?

Tallow has a natural melting point of around 90°F, meaning temperature greatly affects its texture and shelf life but not its effectiveness. Higher temperatures may cause softening or melting, while cooler temperatures can cause the product to firm or harden. For best results, store tallow products in a temperature-regulated environment.
