We’re currently sold out of honey. Really. And we’re closing the shop to hit the road for the next few months. We’ll reopen in mid-June, when we’ll be offering our non-honey products throughout the summer, but we won’t be making honey with our hives again. The bees of Bee Haven will be returning to our farm this summer to join our home apiary. See you when the sun is big and bright again, for a sweet summer of transition and lush potion making we’re excited to share with you as a last hurrah.

Bee Haven Honey Farm has been making and selling honey in Vermont for 50 years.Our speciality is an old world-style, true raw honey that’s never heated or filtered, and is always, and only, from our own hives. We also offer a bouquet of other hive, garden and wood’s-sourced natural care products, made by hand in small batches, often with botanicals we grow organically or ethically wild-craft. We’re honored to have home brewers, herbalists, kitchen witches, gardeners, epicureans, rural-livers and old-timers as our customers and we’re grateful to have played a part in Vermont’s unique beekeeping history. As proud winners of the 2022 Black Jar Honey Contest’s Grand Prize for the Best Tasting Honey in the World, we thank the Center for Honeybee Research in Asheville, N.C. for their annual international contest, their work addressing the plight of honeybees and their celebration and promotion of raw honey for it’s uniquely luscious flavor spectrum.

Purchasing our honey and natural care products: These days we only sell our honey from our farm in north-central Vermont, by order and pick up. We also have pop-up drive-through honey sales at our farm for our mailing list customers when we have a large crop and we’re able to sell bulk one and two gallon buckets of our honey. To make a pick up order any time of year, if we’re open, reach out in the message box below and let us know what you want and when you want to pick it up. We leave orders out in the morning on the pick up day of your choice, so you can come anytime it works best for you on that day. We no longer ship our honey but we do ship our non-honey natural care products within the U.S. You can always see what’s available by checking the Products page. We keep it updated and it includes pricing. If you’re ordering natural care products to be shipped, please include the mailing address for the order, the recipients name, and let us know if the order’s a gift, so we can make it extra special. We use all recycled packaging materials when we ship. If you’d like to be added to our mailing list, so you receive notice of our drive up honey sales, message us here that you’d like to be added to the list.

Payments: We accept cash, checks made out to Bee Haven, and Venmo and PayPal. We no longer accept credit cards.

Our home shop: Most of our business these days is by pick up order but we still welcome visits to the home shop. Feel free to reach out to make an appt. for a visit, as a single visitor or a small group, to come taste whatever honey’s we have on hand and to sniff and try out the natural care products and see what else we might have kicking around.

We’re still Covid-conscious: We’re happy to mask for shop visits, as well as providing good ventilation and air cleaning in the space. If you’ve made an appt. to come visit the shop and one of us isn’t feeling our best, know that we’ll absolutely reach out to let you know this before you come so we can reschedule your visit. We ask you to do the same. Staying home when we’re sick, and not spreading an illness when we have one, remains one of the best and most simple measures we have to take care of ourselves and each other in these times.

Bee Haven Honey Farm Richard and Genevieve Drutchas 18 Norton Road, Worcester, Vermont, 05682

Directions to our Farm: We're located in Putnamville village, a few miles south of Worcester village, right off of Rt. 12, in northern-central Vermont, about 8.5 miles, or 15 minutes north of Montpelier. To reach us from there, take Rt. 12/Elm St., north out of town. You’ll drive alongside the river, going uphill for a stretch. Then you’ll be passing the Wrightsville Reservoir and the right hand turn-offs to its boat launch and water access area first and then its beach and recreation area. When you pass this last turn off for Wrightsville, you’ll drive over a flat bridge with the river below it as you head into a flat wooded section of the road right before you come into Putnamville, which is marked with a sign. Watch for the right turn onto Norton Road once you’re in Putnamville village. It’s the only turn in town and it takes you over the bridge that crosses the North branch of the Winooski river. We're the first house on the other side of the bridge. 18 Norton Road. A grey farmhouse with white trim with a black mailbox with a bee on it. Be warned, if you follow your GPS system to get to us, it has often led people to somewhere around North or East Bear Swamp Rd., in other words, quite astray from where you set out for.
