Bee Haven Honey Farm has been making and selling honey in Vermont for over 40 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 been able to play 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.
We’re closed for a winter break for the month of January and back to business as usual for February.
Purchasing our honey and natural care products: These days we only sell our honey from our farm in northern- central Vermont, by order and pick up, or at pop-up drive through honey sales for our mailing list customers, in our season, during the warmer-months. To make a pick up order any time of year, reach out in the message box below, with a list of what you want and the day you’d like to come pick it up. We’ll have it waiting for you. We leave orders out in the morning on their pick up day, so you can come anytime that day. We no longer ship our honey but we continue to ship our non-honey natural care products within the U.S. You can always see what’s available by checking out the Products page on this site. It’s kept updated and has current pricing. If you’re ordering some natural care products to be shipped, please include the mailing address for the order, the recipients name, and let us know if the order is a gift, so we can make it extra special. We use all recycled packaging materials when we ship.
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., as a single visitor or a small group, to come taste whatever honey’s we have on hand and to try out the natural care products, sniff candles and see what else we 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 is one of the easiest and most simple ways we can all take care of 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. And/or right off 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. You’ll be passing the Wrightsville Reservoir on your right and seeing the right hand turn-offs to its boat launch and water access area first and then to its beach and recreation area entry road as you keeping driving north our way. Continue going straight past these right hand turn offs and you’ll drive over a flat bridge with a river below it and then a flat wooded section of the road right before you come into Putnamville. Take the right turn onto Norton Road once you’re in the village. It’s the only turn in town and it’s a bridge over the North branch of the Winooski river. We're the first house on the other side of the bridge. A grey farmhouse with white trim with a black mailbox with a bee on it. Be warned, if you follow a GPS system to get to us, it often leads people to somewhere around North or East Bear Swamp Rd., in other words, quite astray from where you set out for.
