Douglas Farm
Honey and Beeswax Products
Introduction
Jamais Arriere! - (Never Behind!)
Douglas Farm is located in Somerset County, NJ. Our apiary activities also include Morris and Union County. We do not have a store with hours, but orders may be shipped or picked up by appointment or pre-ordered and picked up at one of our events listed on the calendar page. Thank you for your support.
Our light amber honey took 3rd place in the 2009 NJ honey show.
Our Products
We produce raw, minimally filtered local NJ honey, using the most natural means possible.
If a colony needs treatment for mites, we use essential oils, an all natural treatment. Most years no treatment is needed because we raise our hygienic queens from hives tested & culled for Varroa and AFB resistantance.
The beeswax we harvest from our colonies goes to make fine hand-crafted creams, soaps, lip balms, candles and other crafts. Many of our regular customers take our local honey for allergies. We make no health claims but many people feel local honey, especially raw unfiltered honey is helpful with seasonal allergies. Plus it tastes great!
Our Services
We offer many instructional programs designed for all ages. Descriptions of educational programs and other apiary services are listed in the service section of our website. Programs and fairs presently booked are listed in our calendar.
We offer pollination services to local farmers and honey extraction and processing to local beekeepers. Additionally, we collect honey bee swarms to protect our honey bees and keep our community safe. We are very active in the community. We are members of the Morris - Somerset County chapter of the NJ Beekeepers Association. Brian presently is serving as the 2nd VP officer.Our Community Commitment
We volunteer as beekeeping club leaders to the Somerset County 4H program.
