Hilltop ApiariesRaw honey · Simsbury5 (16 reviews)Hilltop Apiaries is a small honey producer in Simsbury, Connecticut that began with a single hive on Hilltop Drive more than ten years ago. The honey is 100% pure and raw, never pasteurised, filtered or blended, sold just as the bees made it.
The range covers wildflower honey in jars and honey bears, whipped honey spreads in flavours such as blueberry, chocolate, cinnamon and cranberry, habanero honey, tea, jams and honey gift sets. Everything is handcrafted in Connecticut and sold through the online shop, with wholesale enquiries welcome.Holbrook FarmFruit, veg & eggs · Bethel5 (8 reviews)Holbrook Farm is a family farm and farm stand at 45 Turkey Plain Road in Bethel, Connecticut, started by John and Lynn Holbrook and run for around 40 years. The farm grows its own vegetables on two acres, including broccoli, cauliflower, beans, peas, leeks, onions, garlic, spinach, arugula and Asian greens, and keeps 500 to 600 hens whose eggs go to restaurants through the winter and into the farm shop in the warmer months. In May 2024 the farm stand was taken over by Jonathan Lindblom, trading as Iron Hill at Holbrook Farm on the same land and growing without synthetic fertiliser or pesticide.
The farm shop carries its own picking in season, from lettuce mix, curly kale, beets, snap peas, cucumbers, garlic scapes and rhubarb through to pumpkins and winter squash in autumn, alongside cut flower bouquets, farm fresh eggs, and Holbrook Farm strawberry basil jam and pickles put up in Bethel. The shelves are filled out with goods from neighbouring producers, including cheese and cultured butter from Arethusa, chevre from Little Farm on Main, local honey and maple syrup. The farm also runs a CSA share and sells vegetables and eggs wholesale, and orders placed through its shop are collected at the farm rather than delivered.Three Sisters FarmsRaw honey · EssexThree Sisters Farms keeps bees at Evans Lane in Essex, Connecticut, and everything it sells starts with the hive. Raw wildflower honey is the mainstay, from small gift jars to larger pots, joined by a lavender infused honey and a tea and honey comfort kit.
The beeswax goes into votive candles and long tapers, and the range runs on through goat milk soap, handcrafted soaps, lip balms, skin creams and a DEET free bug spray called Don't Bug Me. Orders go through the online shop or at upcoming events, and the farm's promise is that it is all natural.
Farmer Joe's GardensFarm shopFarmer Joe's Gardens has grown out of a Wallingford, Connecticut farm stand and CSA into something quite different. Farmer Joe and Homestead Ida now bring the farm to you, renting out backyard laying hens and running chick and quail hatching programmes for families, schools, libraries and senior communities across Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts.
Rentals arrive fully set up, with the coop, feed, equipment and ongoing support included. Laying hens and chicks can be adopted year round, and the farm sells pure maple syrup through its online shop.Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
