Mapleton Farm

The bees were busy the last few months! Thanks to our unusual approach in managing our bees, our hives did much better than the national average. More than half the commercial hives in the US died over the winter. Personally, we attribute our success to no supplemental feeding, no pesticides and no plastic frames. Our girls have to be tough, and they pick the strongest genetics to keep their hive going all year long!

The hives were absolutely packed to the gills with bees, comb and honey. We’re hoping we’ll get some spring honey to share with our customers—lots of clover around here right now and the flavor of the honey will reflected that!

Before we closed the hives up for the winter, we managed to get a few extra frames of honey. Reagan says it’s a slightly different flavor than the spring honey—“a little tangy!”

As always, our bees make their own comb, with no plastic foundation, and forage all their own food. No sugar or high fructose corn syrup around here!

If you’d like to find out yourself if there’s a different flavor, leave a comment below or send us a message!

If you’re thinking “I’d really like to have French toast for Sunday brunch, but I don’t want to do it the same way I always have,” then you need to get some sourdough bread and farm fresh eggs!

We can meet you at St. Elizabeth tomorrow morning or you can pick up this evening!

$8 for eggs and bread
$3 for eggs only

AVAILABLE for pick up:

6 dozen eggs, ready to go home with you! $3/dozen. We will message you the address to pick up, or a meet up at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.

Have you heard the buzz? Honey is coming to Mapleton Farm! We’ll be harvesting soon and can’t wait to get it in your hands. How will you eat it?
