Bee Haven Honey Farm is taking the eclipse and the rest of the month of April off. We look forward to seeing you again in May, but until then, we won’t be open for orders or shop visits.

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 ~ a honey that’s never been heated or filtered. You can trust the honey we sell is always and only from our hives, and, that the heart of what we do is love and reverence for honeybees. We also offer a bouquet of other hive, garden and wood’s-sourced natural care products we make by hand in small batches using botanicals we grow organically and 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 a part of Vermont’s unique beekeeping history. As the 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 its unique and amazing flavor spectrum.

How we work: These days we sell our honey only from our farm in northern-central Vermont. We no longer ship in any quantity. You can place an order with us to pick up at our farm almost anytime. Check out the Products page to see what’s available. Reach out to us in the message box below, let us know what you’d like and when you’d like to pick it up and we’ll get back to you to confirm, and we’ll have your order waiting for you when you come. In the summer, we post regular hours for visits to the home shop here, as well as at the top of the Products page. You’re welcome to drop in to visit the home shop during these hours. You’re also welcome to reach out in our winter off season, or in the summer, if you’d like to make an appt. to visit the shop during the colder months or outside of the posted summer time hours. If one of us is going to be around we’re generally happy to accomodate. Just reach out and let us know a day and approx. time you’d like to come and we’ll get back to you. Occasionally we take off somewhere. If we do, you’ll always find a notice at the top of this page and on the Products page, as well. We don’t answer emails or do any business during those times.

About our mailing list and drive-up honey sales: We maintain a mailing list of customers who get a handful of emails from us each season ~ from invitations to our farm for drive up bulk bucket honey sales to news of our summer shop hours, holiday offerings, when we have beeswax available and other such bee business news. We never share our mailing list with anyone else to use for any reason and we promise to send only the information customers want to know from us each season. We really do honor your privacy and we know you don’t want your mailbox filled with endless emails announcing endless sales and other exciting opportunities to stoke rampant purchasing. Anyway, sigh, reach out if you’d like to be added to our mailing list and we’ll get you on it.

How to get our non-honey products shipped to you or a friend: We DO shop our non-honey products within the U.S. You can message us below to let us know what you’d like to order and the person and address you’d like us to ship to, if it’s not you. We’ll get back to you to confirm your order. You pay for USPS Priority Mail shipping and we get your order out carefully and quickly, using all recycled packing materials. We’ll send you a tracking # once the package is on its way.

We’re still Covid Cautious: We remain committed to doing what we can to help keep transactions as safe as we can in the Covid era. As people that experienced early/first wave Long Covid, we understand there are many people at increased risks from infection and reinfection who need to take greater care then many feel is necessary any longer. We’re happy to mask and provide good ventilation for your visits and we encourage you to reach out and let us know what else can do to make your time here as comfortable as possible for you. If you’ve made an appt. to come to the shop and we have any illness in our home we’ll be reaching out to let you know what’s up so you can reschedule or do a pick up order instead. Not exposing others to possible illness when we’re feeling off remains one of the simplest and most meaningful ways we have to 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, 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 Wrightsville Reservoir on your right, seeing the right hand turn-offs to its boat and water access area, and its beach and recreation area as you head north on your way to us. Continue going straight past these right hand turn offs and soon you’ll be driving over a flat bridge with a river below it, just past the last turn off for Wrightsville. Continue about a mile-ish more through a flat section of woods that will bring you 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. 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 form where you set out for.

Message us below: We use the message system below to provide us both with a secure way to reach each other. It means we don’t have to openly list our contact information and all we see is your email address, which is not saved after our messages are exchanged. Feel free to reach out with questions and comments, to place an order or make an appt. to come to the shop. If you’d prefer to talk in person, let us know and we’ll gladly give you a call at a good time for you and side step all this computer everything.
