🛠 Built for the Future, With Roots in the Past
Our journey started on Lulu Street with a tiny 0.87-acre urban food forest. That small garden turned into a movement — now known as TIAG: The Independent American Gardener. Through thousands of miles, family-taught permaculture, and in-person events across North America, we’ve built something real: a thriving network of self-sufficient families planting seeds of change.
One of our most powerful tools?
The Generational Hive.
An insulated, regenerative, handcrafted hive — purpose-built to support pollinator ecosystems, food forests, and family surplus for decades.
CNC Machined for pricion, handle assembled and delivered for excellence.
100% Made right here in the USA by our family business Lulus Garden, & Partners.
We took our experience using the horizontal hive model shared across the globe and improved it for a stronger hive that lasts longer with less problems over time, improved build process and overall design refinements, and combined with the TIAG community mission for Haven Permaculture, Food Forests in every yard, Mentors in every home, and self-sufficient communities everywhere.
Now, *Every Purchase funds Regenerative Property Development across the United States for families right here at home. We’re helping return sovereignty to America.
🧊 Why Our Insulated Horizontal Hives?
Our Layens-style Heavy-Duty Insulated Horizontal Hive uses 7 lbs of raw sheep’s wool for natural climate control — no synthetics, no plastic, just real biology working in sync with real internal hive processes.
Thin, un-insinuated walls like are traditional in the vertically standing Langstroth hives we see across America today, do not adequately protect against the exterior climate impacts the natural tree and its many elements would in nature. So, Our hives mimic Nature with raw sheeps wool. This means reduced stress on the bees, which equals less consumption for their energy reserves, which equals more productivity, higher pest/disease resistance, and a happier healthier colony.
And you’ll never lift a 50# Super over your head again, so you can keep bees as you age.
What does that mean for you? More Honey, Healthier Gardens, and a stress free beekeeping journey the whole family can enjoy at every skill level and physical ability.
In other words, Why waste time, energy, and money doing it any other way?
Beekeeping just got smarter.
And Easier. And more productive. And more cost effective. And Less time consuming. And more enjoyable for every skill level. And…

“I love how empowered I feel! The world has been heading in a scary direction, but I feel more confident now that I will be able to provide food for my family and even some of my community if times get hard.”
Charlotte E.
“I am very hopeful for the future as well as my own ability to create permaculture in my own space, even with my limited resources. Thank you!”
Kimberly W.
“This was an incredible and enlightening experience! Jamon and Rianna were so knowledgeable and kind. I can’t wait to apply the principles of permaculture they have taught me!”
Jamon Mysliwiec | Co-Founder | Lulus Garden
“1 hive. 1 frame. $255 in raw comb honey. Multiply that across 10-14 frames? That’s more than $2500-$3000+ per hive, per season, in bare minimum honey sales with less than 10hrs of labor per year per hive. That was an absolute game-changer for our small family business, so we started helping others do it too.”
🌎 More Than Bees — It’s a Movement
We’re not just selling hives. We’re planting regeneration into neighborhoods. We’re hosting live education in backyards. We’re mentoring the next generation of permaculture-minded stewards.
We’re creating communities rooted in family, striving for excellence in personal development, regenerative property design, barter and trade, and self-sufficiency.
This is what life is all about, its more than Food and Fortune. We’re changing the world one home at a time.
TIAG’s mission is simple: A Food Forest in Every Yard, and a Mentor in Every Home.
And this is how we make it real.
