1KHO 696: Honey and the Unexpected Yes | Drew and Ava Miller, Petal Honey Co

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with father-daughter duo Drew and Ava Miller—homeschoolers, musicians, and the heart behind Petal Honey Co—to talk about the kind of life shift you never see coming, but later realize was guidance all along. What started as a random stop at a honey-for-sale sign turned into beekeeping, bottling, rebuilding after hard losses, and building real community through local food and hands-on work. We talk about the beauty of honey, the stewardship of creation, why pollinators matter, and how “outdoor work” can quietly change a family—slowing you down, strengthening you, and giving kids purpose you can’t manufacture indoors. You’ll also hear about Drew and Ava’s music (recorded as a time capsule of their ages), Ava’s love of incubating chicks, and a childhood outdoor memory that will make you want to plan a trip and reread the books that shaped you.
