Who we are
About the farm
We are a small family beekeeping business in Alton, Hampshire; we are beekeepers first and foremost and only harvest honey that is surplus to the bees' needs, leaving a whole box of honey on each colony all year round. We harvest our honey separately from each apiary and sell it under the site's name (e.g. Alton, Ropley, Kingsley, Wield, Binsted), from wildflower meadows to sweet chestnut woodland; each year we take 35–50 hives to the New Forest heather, where our heather honey comes from, which has won awards at the National Honey Show. From our own beeswax we make hand-dipped and moulded candles and 100% cotton beeswax wraps, including bespoke designs, and we sell our products in our online shop.

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.
