Bee Friendly Farms

About Us

We are a married couple in Castro Valley, CA. Victor is the resident beekeeper, while Amanda tends to the garden. Our backyard bees produce delicious honey and work hard to increase our produce (and their flower) yields.

For the Bees

We love planting new flower varieties to see what the bees like best, to keep flowers going as far into winter as possible, and to vary the flavor of the honey throughout the year.

Local Honey

In addition to attempting perennial blooms in our garden, we have a variety of California native plants for the bees to visit. Our garden also attracts many California native bees, and, while they don't make honey, we are glad to feed these important pollinators. We think you'll love our raw, unfiltered honey - and any other produce we have in season!

Raw, Unfiltered Honey

That's it: 100% raw, unfiltered honey. As with all honey of this type, it will eventually crystallize. You can de-crystallize with a gentle water bath, or just enjoy your new "honey butter" with a spoon
