The colony inside this wall was huge , but Timothy carefully collected the bees with their hive/comb and humanely relocated them.
C E.

Timothy really helped me out with a very large bee colony that was located inside the outer wall of my home. He was professional, informative and he walked me through the process so that I knew what to expect. He was a lot nicer, more informative, and had better pricing than other people I spoke to (other people were vague about pricing and did not explain the process). The BEST part is that the bee colony is humanely relocated (saving the bees!) and Timothy plans to save me some "home grown" bottles of honey when it is collected and processed! Highly recommend!

The unfiltered and raw wildflower blend. So good.
Lynnette M.

Almost everywhere we've traveled we've purchased the local honey. Naturally we've made it a point to purchase and have enjoyed several from our area, too. Today we opted to purchase from a small business/hive owner whose honey we'd heard raves about. Purchased a couple of bottles of what he currently had on hand: an unfiltered and raw wildflower blend that was delicate but delectably flavored. Since it would be the perfect accompaniment to PG Tips tea ... or drizzled over oatmeal ... or added to any number of recipes ... I think it's safe to say these two bottles will go pretty quickly. Owner Tim mentioned he may also have some sage honey coming from his hives in the not-too-distant future, so I'll be checking with him again soon so we don't miss out!

This company CARES, moves the swarm, does NOT use poison that could run off and poison our ground water. One great company.

The company breeds healthy, gentle queen bees that have mite-resistant behaviors. Starting in 2011, the company began selling queen bees that are locally adapted to the California Coast. The California Bee Company also strives to encourage small-scale beekeeping and was started in 2005 by two college students. The California Bee Company offers lots of bee-related services such as producing and packing their own honey, bee education, candles (which I own and love!) bee pollen, bee pollination, bee propolis, queen bees, and swarm removal. A company like California Bee is vitally important because bees need our help! Colony Collapse Disorder has led to the decline of honeybee populations across the world since 2006. This disease is likely caused by a combination of problems such as loss of habitat and urban sprawl, multiple pesticide exposure. and the stresses of certain industrial bee-keeping practices-where hives never rest and the bees experience stress and immune disorders. However, the California Bee Company uses enlightened methods of bee-keeping. They sell raw, unfiltered,unheated honey of the finest quality. Furthermore, their website notes that their bees are conscientiously cared for using strictly natural methods, and they have never used synthetic pesticides in bee hives. This company is practicing safe stewardship of bees and their excellent products reflect that fact. 5 YELP STARS

Customer service, it seems, in many realms, is a thing of the past, and not responding/connecting to your established local clients gives this seller a poor grade. Poor customer service. Good honey.

A MUST STOP on the route north!…read more A local farm turned into a FARMER's market with fresh locally grown produce and U PICK options! You can roam around or sit and enjoy the fresh produce food or candy. Also iconic for fresh PIES which ran out by the time I got there in the afternoon. Great place to take kids to feed a variety of barn ANIMALS from goats to cows and even a bull!

This place was so fun to visit! The little marketplace was fun to stroll through and had lots of…read moreyummy things to buy. Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

For those considering a visit: know that the road is steep and you should take a car. It's a tasting, not a full meal, and the focus is on quality and authenticity. If you appreciate a genuine farm experience on the beautiful Central California Coast, you'll love it. If you're expecting a restaurant with big portions, this probably isn't for you.

The drive into the farm was so beautiful with the rolling green hills. Our tour guide took us up to the farm where we got to hold some of the baby goats. That was one of my favorite parts of the tour. Then we learned how they milk the goats and got to see where perfection was made.... The cheese! After the cheese aging room we went into the tasting room. That was my second favorite part of the tour! I loved trying all the cheeses that are in season. I was also excited to join the cheese club. It's different signing up randomly vs learning about the cheese making process and all the hard work that goes into making it at the farm. That's what got me to sign up for the cheese club. It makes you more excited to join the cheese club when you're there in person. Plus I like the exclusivity factor of some of the special cheese and things I get to experience. If I could change anything it would be to spend more time with the goats. I love animals. I could have held my baby goat for hours. I almost wish they had a tour where you could just go hang out with the goats. And then I also heard a rumor that they used to have ice cream. I would love to try the ice cream produced at this farm!! But other than that I would definitely do this again! I can see my future charcuterie boards with the delicious @stepladdercreamery cheese all over my boards. And it's so exciting!

I think her name is Lena. - The red rooibos tea was delicious! I particularly loved the dairy free, nut free Matcha soft serve. I hope that this is added to the menu for individual purchase in the near future. - The tower had a great presentation factor. My favorite sandwich was the ham and brie with honey. My only feedback is the cost of my club soda was eight dollars which I would've liked to have known at the time of purchase. In addition, investing in environmentally friendly to go containers such as paper would be wonderful.

Dessert Climate Tea…read morehouse and dessert shop born from the kitchen of Brazilian-born, Italian-raised pastry chef and chocolatier Florencia Breda, whose claim to fame was being a finalist on the recent Food Network competition show "Ultimate Baking Championship." This is how we came to know about her and her shop, as we made a special pit stop to visit Breda in downtown SLO on the way home from a SoCal trip. The Good: * More than just desserts, as they also offer afternoon tea services, as well as a curated selection of savory foods like pizza, salads, and sandwiches. * Afternoon tea reservations are available via OpenTable. * We just came in to grab some of her beautiful monoportions which were featured on the show, and they did not disappoint. They were absolutely stunning and looked surreal. * I didn't try the mango one, but my son said it was delicious, so I'll take his word for it. * The raspberry monoportion was as delicious as it was fantastic. I am sad it fell apart on the four-hour trip home to SJ from SLO before I could fully capture its beauty. The Meh: * Street parking only. * Service was OK but nothing noteworthy. * The peanut monoportion was just OK. The peanut flavor was a bit muted for our liking. The Ugly: * Prices are available online, but nothing was marked in the store, which is one of my pet peeves. Conclusion: Probably 3.5 stars, but rounded up because we were really only in and out and didn't try enough.
