Beehive Naturals Now Open on 25th Street in Ogden

Opening a brick-and-mortar store mid-pandemic might not seem like the most logical move, but for Stephanie and Sam Ginn of Beehive Naturals, moving from peddling their goat milk and honey soaps and personal care products at farmers markets to their own shop on Ogden’s 25th Street paid off. 

“We almost canceled it. We made the decision to open before COVID hit, but decided to go ahead with it, and it’s done really well so far,” said Sam.

Beehive Naturals began eight years ago when the Ginns decided to get chickens and honeybees at their Plain City home. Stephanie began making different products such as lip balms from wax and honey to give to friends and family. With the addition of Nubian dairy goats and a growing herb and flower garden, her product line continued to grow with goat milk soaps, salves, facial oils, body scrubs, bath salts, and more. 

“It seems like we’ve gotten a whole new customer base since opening the store. The good thing is that Ogden folks are awesome for taking care of each other,” said Sam. “Once Small Business Saturday hit, we had people come in and as soon as they found out we were a local business and family business, they didn’t care what the cost was. They just wanted to support our local business.”
