The Wright family has a real honey of a farm. The local farmers started out with some bees to pollinate their fruit trees, but pretty soon, the bees took over. Well, not literally. But they had so much success with bees that they started to treat their bees like queens and soon they had whole new set of products to sell.

Fruitwood Orchards Honey Farm turns out pure, raw, unfiltered honey that has just the right touch of sweetness. If you prefer a milder flavor, go for the light colored honey. Darker honeys have a heartier flavor. If you can’t drop by their farm stand, you can order their products on-line. And oh, what a list of honey-based products they have. There are honeys blended with local cranberries, blueberries, raspberries or other fruits. There are crystallized honeys . . . honey flavored sticks . . . honey candies . . . honey comb trays . . . the list goes on. After all, they have a few million bees and they keep coming up with new ways to use their honey.

But there is more to the farm than just bees. Fruitwood Orchards Honey Farm also lets you come onto the grounds and pick your own fruits. When the time is right, you can stock up on berries, peaches, cherries or pumpkins. But Mother Nature doesn’t always use a calendar so call ahead to make sure things are ripe and ready for picking.
