We currently have a significant number of hives dotted in and around Market Harborough and surrounding area all within 5 miles or so, spanned across 6 different apiaries, its not yet a full time job looking after them but we do spend a fair bit of time tending to them (most of our spare time in the summer). We aim to grow this to around 200 colonies by 2027.
Currently we are producing around 3500 jars of local honey per year in addition to holding back enough honey to go into our spirits, and aim to get this up to around 7,500 jars within the next couple of years and sell further afield. We also process a significant volume of honey for other people. All of our honey products are processed locally and packed in an immaculate hygienic clad commercial kitchen with state of the art processing equipment.
