ABOUT HONEY, THE MOON! FARMS
Honey, the Moon! Farms is as much a state of mind as it is a place. Like life itself, it is a work in progress, encountering unknowns with every season, every sunset.
We began by creating eclectic and medicinal herb and flower gardens as a productive way to remember our roots and explore the possibility of a healthier and more sustainable way of living on this planet.
Shortly after the little honeybee debuted on the cover of Time magazine raising alarms about their survival and “a world without bees,” we took a class and became beekeepers. This opened up a bright new portal into the mysteries and wonders of our amazing universe and lots of questions about our role in all of it. We experimented with tinctures, decoctions and infusions and a rich moisturizing cream recipe that we made & loved using our own infused Calendula oils. By the time we extracted our first 80 pounds of honey, made in our own backyard in only handful of hives, we were hooked.
A fortunate meeting with an experienced Greek beekeeper led to our Greek monofloral honey awakening and our quest to share this amazing ambrosia with as many as we can. Plan Bee honey was born.
If we can counter frustration and failure by extracting a bit of joy and beauty from the quotidian and doing the best we can for those who come after us, we can look forward to the next day with an open heart.
