I found this place online on Friday evening and was able to “schedule” a time to show up for a short tour the next day. Ward is extremely welcoming not... read more only with his hives but his entire property and home. I haven’t met many beekeepers, but I’ll probably never meet a more humble one. All of our questions were answered in full detail and we absorbed all there is to know about queen bees, honey production, and how bees survive the winter. A perfect place to bring a date or the family for an hour, and I can’t even begin to describe the honey itself—it’s that tasty, natural and sweet. We bought two jars and some even contain chunks of honeycomb as a sweet delicacy. 10/10 will return someday.

Love locally sourced

The taste is perfect, it's what I remember when I was growing up in a small town in Mexico. The flavor of the honey is complex, It's not just sweet, you can taste fruit, flowers, and other vegetation as a discrete under tone flavour. I am extatic about my purchase and have decided to be a regular customer. Oh and my kids love the stuff, they started putting it on hot cakes instead of syrup. It's all natural and healthier than anything with corn syrup, so it makes my wife and I super happy to see them eat it.

My wife and I took our two young grandsons to learn about beekeeping, and Ward was wonderfully accommodating. He did a great job showing and talking about the bees and... read more hives.
