Our Story
Our journey with bees began with a simple purpose—pollination. We kept bees to help pollinate other farmers' crops, playing our part in supporting the local ecosystem. Occasionally, we’d extract a little honey for our family, but honey production wasn’t our main focus. The bees were primarily there for pollination, and for years, we were content with that.Then, during one memorable road trip, everything changed. Our children came down with a cold, accompanied by a terrible cough, while we were far from home. We didn’t have any medicine with us—only some honey and propolis from our bees. Though we knew about the potential health benefits of these products, we had never relied on them in such a situation. So, more as a treat than a remedy, we decided to give them to the kids, hoping they would at least provide some comfort.
To our surprise, after two days of giving the children honey and propolis, the coughing stopped. Their symptoms began to disappear, and they recovered faster than we ever expected. It was astonishing. These simple, natural remedies had done what nothing else seemed able to do. In that moment, we realized that the bees we had mostly used for pollination held much more potential than we had ever imagined.
This experience shifted our perspective completely. We started to explore the full range of bee products—honey, propolis, beeswax—and their incredible ability to support health and wellness. We also began incorporating herbal remedies into our routine, blending the healing power of nature with the benefits of the hive. Soon, our beekeeping evolved. Honey production, which had once been a small part of our lives, became central to our work, and we expanded into creating a variety of natural, bee-based products.
Today, we are dedicated to sharing what we’ve learned with others. Our family produces honey, propolis tinctures, and beeswax balms, all crafted with care and a deep belief in the healing power of nature. What started as a way to pollinate crops has grown into a passion for supporting natural health.
Our mission is rooted in sustainability, wellness, and the incredible role bees play in both our ecosystem and our health. We believe that the answers to many health challenges lie in nature’s gifts, and we’re committed to helping others discover the benefits of bee products and herbs for themselves.
We invite you to join us on this journey—whether by trying our products or learning more about how natural remedies can support your well-being. Together, we can harness the power of bees and herbs, just as we did during that road trip that changed everything.

My wife and I just bought a jar of Foothills Bloom at the kiosk on Mother Lode Drive in Shingle Springs. She was born and raised in Pleasant Valley. She said your honey reminds her of the honey she grew up with which came from local beekeepers. What a treat. It is delicious.
Thanks to a Next door app, I posted that I was looking for local honey and someone reply to get the the on 49 and Cramer rd. I did, your honey is delicious, I purchase several flavors, next that I go to town I will get the creamy honey, as I had never seen the type of honey before. thank you for producing good honey.

I am obsessed. I see the kiosk stand every time I go home & decided to stop by.. I am sooo obsessed literally the best honey I have tasted! I am about to go to another kiosk stand today just to try some more products <3 Thank you so very much!
After passing your kiosk on Victor Rd. In Lodi (which so happens to be about 1000 yards from my house, I decided to stop by and see what that kiosk was all about. To my surprise, it was honey. I decided to try a jar of the Foothill blend. OMG. Absolutely incredible honey! And that comes from a Cherry Orchard owner who has tried many different types of honey. Almost hate to say that it is better than the orange blossom honey from my childhood, growing up in those orange orchards. Do yourself a favor and stop by one of their kiosks. You will not be sorry. Now back up the dirt road to their kiosk to get the respiratory blend for my sick wife. I just left with 3 more of the Foothills blend and forgot it!🤣
