Where the honey comes from

Our Apiaries

A hundred hives in four places, each with its own flowers.

Since 1987

A Hundred Hives In Four Places

Each apiary sits in its own flowers, so each gives its own honeys: orchard blossom at Red Hook, meadow flowers at Tivoli, linden and locust in Rhinebeck, buckwheat and goldenrod up on the ridge at Milan.
