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 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 also raise our own queens from the New World Carniolan line of varroa and AFB-resistant bees. 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 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.
We run the Somerset County 4H program. (See 'About Us or Beekeeping Education') 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.
