Information about honey and a small selection of their 20+ sample jars!
Annie Z.

I'm making a charcuterie board soon and had honey on my mind, and was pleasantly surprised to see this specialty store when driving through downtown Sebastapol! We quickly made a u-turn and returned to Beekind to take a look. Beekind is a unique store in that it's both for beekeepers and honey/wax lovers. There's a whole section with equipment for maintaining and starting your own hive, including informational booklets and more than I know about. The other half of the store is arranged to showcase wax carvings, beeswax beauty products, local honeys and serving equipment. I was impressed by the selection of honeys, ranging from sage honey to desert honey to coriander honeys, with multiple jar size options for each type of honey too. There's also a little sampling station with all of the honey varieties so you can taste them before purchasing. Overall the store is bright and welcoming. The employee who was working there the morning we dropped in was also kind and knowledgeable (a beekeeper herself). I walked out with 2 little ~3oz jars of specialty honeys and 2 cute honey drippers for serving.

Pure beeswax candles at Beekind

Such a nice store! The lady who works there greeted us immediately as we walked in. She was very friendly and helpful. We told her that we were looking to buy some local honey and she pointed at the sample bar and told us we can try as many as we want. She also explained all the selections to us. They have a large selection of different honey to choose from, lots of beeswax candles, and bee equipment. I also loved how organized everything was! If you love honey your path leads to Beekind in Sebastopol.

I am in love with Beekind and all of their wonderful products! They're now my go-to store for monthly honey, tea, and soap refills and I get all of my beeswax candles to use at home and gift from them as well. Beeswax candles are the cleanest, low-tox candles that you can light and I use their special occasion candles for birthdays, Hanukkah and Shabbat as well. They have a wonderful and affordable selection of organic loose leaf tea in glass jars and I can return them to be reused and get a discount on my next purchase! We drink a lot of the chamomile rose. I enjoy trying their honeys, teas, and candles of the month because they're 15% off. They have a honey tasting bar and make you feel extremely welcome to try anything and have a lot of knowledge about honey, bees, candles, beekeeping, pollen, etc. I've only ever been met with kindness and knowledge and after 20 years in business I can see why they're the honey and bee staple of the community that they are!

Beeswax candles, bar, honeycomb
Priscilla O.

A charming shop full of bee products ranging from local honey to pure beeswax candles to tools for the beekeeper. I was happy to find honeycomb for my salad, a block of beeswax for waxing thread and several candles. The staff was friendly and very helpful in helping my friend select from their wide selection of honey. This will be my place of destination every time I visit Sebastopol.

I had a task rabbit pick up the gift.

“Beeswax and candles galore (the beeswax is mostly from Southern California), but most of the honey is local.”

I really enjoyed taking a tour of Redwood Hill. Scott and his employees are great people and all…read morevery knowledgeable. I met Scott at an AGDA (American Dairy Goat Association) convention and he told me I could make an appointment for a tour, which I happily did. Learned quite a few things about running a dairy and goat herd management. Moreover, his goats were ALL happy animals. Plus, the products from the associated creamery are top notch. I don't usually have his products unless I'm traveling, as I have fresh goat milk every day of the year, but I always recommend them to everyone. The farm also takes an approach to sustainability, with lots of solar panels and plans for rainwater collection, which is a direction I've already gone, sans the solar panels, which I'd like to one day incorporate. All in all, I definitely hope to make a return trip here in the future, possibly to even purchase semen or a goat someday.

Still my absolute favorite goat farm - I love the baby goats, the adult goats, the sustainability…read morepractices, the family run farm... I've been going here for years now and they are the nicest most wonderful people who give good tours and have wonderful silly and snuggly baby goats! They give you real time with them and don't have a forced amount of time on each part of the tour - unlike Harley goat farm. You can skip the tour and just hung with the baby goats the whole time if you want! Also can come early or stay late depending on when if there's another tour that day. I get enough time with the baby goats - and I loooove baby goats so that's saying something! Bring a meal if you want to eat and hangout at their picnic tables. I've gotten to milk the goats a few times, feed the adults, be there for a goat birth (just happened while on the tour!), and have all the baby goat snuggles and silliness. Love the family farm, love the folks who run the baby goat tours/visits. Also a cute town to go into after for food, beverage, also wine tastings nearby. I recommend a second set of clothes to change into after in case you get dirty (goats are relatively clean, but they're goats so not like indoor pets. I let the baby goats climb all over me.)

We love Fircrest!…read more Not only do we appreciate a locally owned market, but we REALLY appreciate a locally owned market with great produce--and Fircrest always has great produce, specifically, great avocados! in the near decade that we've been shopping there, we've gotten only ONE subpar avocado. can you believe that? Oh, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the corn and the artichokes, which are always up there with their primo avocado quality! Fircrest is nearly worth it just for the avocado alone, but we've purchased lots of items there and appreciate that it's so close to home, so it's great when we just need a few more items to make dinner! They, also, have some really good beer!

Awesome produce and deli...most of the staff are so friendly and helpful…read more Went today though and the cashier "Linda G" (says on the receipt) was being very odd and judgmental about me trying to buy some damn Jiffy Pop as a fun little thing for my kiddos who were with me . She kept telling me I should be making popcorn from scratch. Like, please mind your own business lady, it's Jiffy Pop?? Not like it was any of her concern but we usually do make it from scratch. I was so confused what the heck was happening because she was dead serious and like, wouldn't drop it until I awkwardly had to change the subject and leave? It made me really uncomfortable. Chill out Linda! I don't want to have to justify my purchases, makes me feel weird about going back.

Gerard's Paella is simply the best of the best…read more I'll admit, I was a little nervous at first when Gerard wasn't able to personally attend our star-studded event. Those concerns disappeared immediately. The gentlemen he sent in his place were absolutely outstanding and exceeded even my very high standards. They were professional, engaging, personable, and clearly took great pride in what they do. They became part of the celebration and our guests absolutely loved them. And then there's the paella, without question the best paella ever. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and it was the highlight of the event for many of our guests. Honestly, I could eat it every day and never get tired of it. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Gerard and his team delivered far beyond expectations, and I can't wait for the opportunity to work with them again. If you're considering Gerard's Paella for an event, stop looking and book them, you won't be disappointed.

I decided to get Gerald's paella with friends at Coachella this year after seeing multiple TikTok…read morefood influences mention that it was the most worth food item and was delicious, and boy they were not wrong! The paella was incredibly creamy and had just the right amount of spice to it. The portion size was very large and one paella can absolutely be shared among two people. The bottom of the paella also had crispy rice which was my favorite and there was tons of seafood packed in including calamari rings and shrimp. The aioli drizzle atop was fresh and tangy and my favorite part was that it was dairy free so I did not have to take lactaid! If you see their booth at a music festival definitely check out the Paella. It is incredibly flavorful and well worth it!

The food was amazing! We came here before heading to the Doran beach for the day. Everything was…read moreamazing. We got pork ribs, pulled pork, two types of links and sides- Mac and cheese, collard greens, and baked beans. Plus corn bread and for dessert the banana pudding. The cons were few and even though I'd list these as a con everything was still amazing - the greens were a little salty but when I ate them with some beans or the Mac and cheese the flavor balanced out. On their own just a tiny bit too salty. The cornbread was a tad too dry. The pros were basically EVERYTHING else. And the surprise treat of banana pudding made everyone's eyes go BIG a tasting the amazing flavor and lovely consistency of the pudding. Definitely save room for dessert!!! I have to admit though - BBQ and sides are very subjective if you have a great BBQ boss/ soul food chef in your family... truly everything on our table was AMAZING. The restaurant was homey, clean and inviting with picnic tables and lots of napkins within reach. Even though it was lunchtime on a weekend we had fast and friendly service and we didn't need to wait long for our food. We can't wait to come back!!!

Came here for lunch on a Saturday around 11:20/11:25. We ordered a rack of pork ribs, a pound of…read morebrisket (half fatty and half lean), a jalapeño cheddar sausage, and a half chicken. four sides we got the mac & cheese, potato salad, honey cornbread, apple coleslaw, and the banana pudding. I think I like the fatty brisket more but the brisket was too salty. The Jalapeño cheddar sausage way too spicy, I mean, I know it's a jalapeño so it's supposed to be spicy, but it was like really really spicy. The pork ribs were mine and everyone's my favorite. They weren't really dry and had a good smoke flavor. The chicken was good and had a good smoke but some pieces were a little dry. All the side were good despite some bad reviews on Yelp. Mac and cheese not too heavy. I like their spin on potato salad it wasn't heavy at all. The pickled onions, were good, Apple slaw was really good. Usually I don't get coleslaw, but this was really nice refreshing and help cut through the salt. The banana pudding was really nice. The honey biscuit was tough and not soft. Service was great and friendly and they answered all my questions. We timed coming here really great. When we got here there was only one person in line and by the time I went to pay, the line was to the other side of the dining area. They have a few tables outside and a cover tent area and they have a good handful of tables inside. Pretty solid barbecue but some things were pretty salty. However with that I would still say this is the best BBQ in Sonoma County. Overall 4.3/5
