While visiting my family in Marion I had the sublime opportunity to visit this bee farm today. Ed got my dad and I dressed in our bee suits and walked us to the hives, explaining to us how the bees function and work. We got to see the hives on the inside and even got to see a queen! I learned so much about bees that I never knew! Then, after the hives, we got to stop in at their gift shop and sample some delicious honey. Bought some to take home with me to California. We also got to feed the adorable chickens on the property! I can't wait to come back!!! Kudos to Karen and Ed for the wonderful experience!!! read more

Fantastic time touring a bee farm. Ed and Karen were very friendly and provided an exciting and informative tour of their bee farm. I would highly recommend visiting. Also, the sourwood honey is the best you can find. read more

Ed and Karen were truly lovely people. They had a genuine passion and knowledge of beekeeping and honey. I highly recommend making this short trip to anything in the Marion/Asheville area. This experience is suited for anyone with taste buds for honey and general beekeeping interest. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you both for this amazing experience. read more

This place is great! The wildflower honey is phenomenal. They also offer tours of their bee hives!
