Vegetable Plants

Honey and Bee Products

Honeycomb is SOLD OUT. For interesting facts about honeycomb, read here. Not sure what to do with honeycomb? Check out this useful article on uses and health benefits of honeycomb!

We are SOLD OUT of most of our honey stock from May 2025, with only a few small bear jars without honeycomb left. Sold only at our farmers market stands due to the limited quantities. Check back for availability from our next harvest!

Many of you have probably heard about the massive honey bee losses over the 2024-25 winter season. Unfortunately, our apiary was among those which suffered losses, despite our best efforts. However, we have since replenished and expanded our apiary, and both the new and established bees are back at it! We have a small amount of honey available for purchase sold only at our markets. We will update you all in early fall regarding honey availability from our late harvest. 2026 will be much better!

Candles

Beeswax candles, made from wax gathered from our own hives.

Scented, colorful candles; variety of sizes from wax melts to tealights to pillars to 12 oz. glass container candles. Check back for our fall and winter offerings!
