📢 2026 honey has sold out
Although I've sold out of honey, I've reserved a few jars to sell Friday, August 7 and Saturday, August 8 in Fontana Village, NC. Visit ChathamCNC's booth at the 30th Annual Miatas at the Gap.
AWARD-WINNING HONEY

VSH queen lineage
In an effort to manage varroa mites naturally, all of my queens descend from varroa-sensitive hygienic (VSH) queens.

Small-batch honey
Since hive health is the #1 priority here, I only extract honey from hives that produce a surplus and then harvest about 1/3 of the honey.
