I was introduced to Backyard Bees by Zama Tea & Kobucha. Thank you for your wonderful partnership…read moreto support small businesses and "shop local" preferences! I'm fond of Old Town Tustin and my husband is fond of tea, so we didn't hesitate to check out the little red building. Being relatively new to the area, I began experiencing sinus issues in the mornings. Since I didn't have a cold, my body could have been resisting local pollen and other airborne allergens. A friend suggested that every morning, I take a small spoonful raw, unprocessed honey harvested as close to my neighborhood as possible. The idea is to consistently expose my immune system to become familiar and "play nice" with the allergens. Zama carries BB honey from good ol' Tustin Ranch, Yorba Linda, and Laguna Niguel. I couldn't get closer to home than T-R! While I'm not certain this natural approach is effective, my sinuses have been happier... and my husband said the honey with its antioxidants is healthier than processed sugar. I also learned that BB sells honey at the Tustin Farmers Market on Wednesdays and that funds support efforts to save the bees. The amount of honey it's able to supply depends on the bees as well as rainfall & humidity. * Praying against water-shortages and drought.*

She instills the importance of bees to plants and the stark difference in crops from non-pollinated vs pollinated. She has, in her words, a "small yard homestead." The tour includes her two gardens, tangible demos of what she can make from her bounty, chicken and horse feeding, and viewing placards of beehives and the honey extraction process... plus the beehive box, protective suits and bee frames... just NO bees, forewarning! You can tour the honey house and view the equipment for her honey operation, and sample her honey, plus her lotions and balms. Our group bought the large 12 oz size! Overall an informative tour! But the main attraction of bees could not be witnessed due to the risk of being stung. Janet had a small hive that she showed to us from a distance.

I have a couple of (Aeroponic) Tower Gardens in NorCal and have ordered seedlings from multiple…read moreplaces; several of my friends have also ordered seedlings from a variety of suppliers and our collective experience has been less than stellar. When two of my friends in SoCal ordered Tower Gardens and wanted to set them up, I helped them when I was visiting. I got seedlings for both of them from Sarah and Shastin and they have been by far, the healthiest and best looking seedlings that I have ever come across (see uploaded photos). Many were already flowering and some even had baby fruit on them! All of the seedlings not just survived, but thrived - see uploaded photos; in fact, one tomato plant was bursting with so much fruit that it made me very envious (the climate where I live doesn't lend itself to bountiful tomato harvests)... my friends have gone back for seconds based on how wonderful their first experience was. And the icing on the cake is how wonderful and helpful Sarah and Shastin are. They gave me great recommendations on natural/non-toxic pesticides and methods to detect (UV light FTW) and get rid of caterpillars. A+++ Highly recommended for anyone that is interested in awesome seedlings and gardening, not just for aeroponic systems!!

Chocolates and olives. I picked up some garlic stuffed Spanish olives that looked great. Friendly service, it is a small shop, one person doing all the work while I was there so be patient if someone else is ahead of you. The feel is like you're wine tasting and they will let you sample whatever peaks your interest.

This store has been a transport vehicle into a better way to cook, prepare dishes and make sugarless mock-tails. The other five star reviews really say it all - and I am totally on board. Mary has taught me so much about olive oil. She let me and my wife taste so many too. The education on the health benefits and potency and seasons... I now own and use about 15 bottles of both oils and vinegars. My faves: Balsamics for mocktails- guava, gravenstein apple, watermelon Balsamics for salad - lemon, oregano, and champangne Oils - Madigascar black pepper, bahklavout peppers oil (spicy) many different varieties of cooking and fresh usage robust to medium. These oils make every single dish taste better. Antica and Mary (the owner) are both gems. Seriously drop in, get educated and enjoy the next phase of you gourmet journey.
