The Eastern Shore of Maryland offers boundless beauty. From the rolling fields and old orchards to sunny beaches and quaint towns, a summer on the shore is a magical thing. Sometimes, when the weather is behaving and the days are long, we like to explore.
The farms on the shore are seemingly endless. Many of these date back hundreds of years. Our farm isn't nearly quite as old as these places, but we do have a collection of fruit trees that are decades old and still bear fruit. These trees give the bees a source of pollen, and add to the unique flavor of our Spring Honey. We've only recently transformed the fields back into naturalized meadows, and in doing so, the local ecosystem has stabilized.
