Valley Home Bee Yard

At Valley Home Farm, we care for approximately 50 colonies of honeybees for annual crop pollination and honey production. We offer farm-fresh raw honey right from the hive in 1 lb. and 2 lb. containers beginning in late May.

The honeybee was recognized as the official state agricultural insect of Tennessee in 1990 because of its vital role in pollination of crops, trees and grasses.
