About Us
We are a small family owned and operated farm with horses, chickens, and of course honey bees. We are located in a small rural area known as McGee's Crossroads about 25 miles south of Raleigh, North Carolina in Johnston County. Our family has been here for 5 generations (with a sixth hoping to take over some day) and we love to play in the dirt, smell the new mown fields, and care for our animals. We became interested in the bees when we noticed one year there had been not a single honey bee in any of our flowers nor on any of our fruit trees. We were afraid they had been killed by nearby spraying or had just gone the way of many of the birds, and even the frogs, that were becoming more scarce on our land every season. We knew it could not be anything we had done, as we no longer grow crops nor need to use pesticides, but whatever the cause, all the bees had disappeared. So we decided to help them out and bring them back, if we could, and from that was born our love of bees and our passion to keep them alive and well and active. We don't consider ourselves farmers. We are caretakers ... of the land and the animals. In return they provide us with endless hours of fascination ... and good things to eat, as well!
