Who we are
About the farm
We have been keeping bees in Zafferana Etnea, on the slopes of Etna, since 1920; today the third generation, Sebastiano Di Prima and his wife, runs the farm. From our own hives, which we move around Etna following the blossoms, we cold-extract five unpasteurised honeys – chestnut, eucalyptus, sulla, orange blossom and wildflower – and jar, label and ship them ourselves. On the farm, the Beekeeper's House Museum, open since 2005, can be visited Monday to Friday 9:30–12:30 (afternoons and Saturdays by reservation); the guided visit ends with a honey tasting, and you can buy on site.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
