Happy first day of fall, our favorite time of year! To celebrate, we will be hosting an Arts and Antiques Day Saturday October 1st. Come on out and support your local beekeeper, local artists, and small business!

Join us on Saturday August 27th for the Grand Opening of our farm store, Frog Ocean Honey at the Barn! It will begin with a ribbon cutting at 11:00 and be open until 3:00. There will be an observation hive to see bees at work, honey tasting, and more! We hope to see you there!!

Looking for a fun day out with the family? Come experience “A Day at the Farm” on June 4th from 11am-3pm at the Church Landing Farm Museum in Pennsville! There will be plenty to see and do. Frog Ocean Honey will have an observation hive for you to see the bees at work and maybe even catch sight of the Queen! We will also be selling honey and other hive-related products, and would love to talk bees with you. We hope to see you there.

We are very excited to announce that we will be having regular hours at the Barn, located at 99 Frog Ocean Road in Lower Alloway’s Creek Township, starting this summer! More details and store hours will be available as we get closer to the first honey harvest of the season. We look forward to seeing you at the Barn!

We would like to sincerely thank everyone for another great season!  Thank you to our new and returning customers, and to everyone who voted us “Best of Salem County – locally harvested honey”.

Although the temperatures have been warm, our bees are ready for winter.   Personally, we are ready for winter too!  We are probably in the minority….but it’s December.  We would rather see snow than rain this time of the year!  Old Man Winter is right around the corner, and  before we know it, we will be wishing for warmer temperatures, spring flowers, and bees buzzing around the farm!  Until then, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!

We hope every one is enjoying the end of the summer! Please take the time to vote for local businesses in this years “Best of Salem County”. Voting has already started and will be open until September 18th. Click the
“Vote Here!” link below to vote for your favorite businesses that you think are the best! Don’t forget to vote Frog Ocean Honey as best locally harvested honey!

Science teacher Travis Davis, School Garden Coordinator Carly Chaapel, and a few SCVTS students recently completed the beginner beekeeper’s course offered at the Rutgers Eco Complex in Bordentown, NJ.  After completing the course, they set up their own beehive on campus –  the first high school in Salem County to own and maintain a beehive!

The schoolyard garden program at SCVTS recently won the 2015 Best Rookie Garden in the State of New Jersey!  In addition to the beehive, their garden program includes two gardens, a chicken coop, and the foundation for a new greenhouse.  They were judged, along with other school gardens throughout the state, by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners, the NJ Agricultural Society, the NJ Farm to School Network, and Edible Jersey magazine.

We would like to congratulate SCVTS on having New Jersey’s Best Rookie Garden and thank you for bringing bees to your school not just for the garden, but also to educate students about the precious honey bee!

Please remember to shop small this Saturday, November 29th!  We will be joining Obis One, 20 Sinnickson Lane, Pennsville, NJ between 10am and 4pm for a Small Business Saturday Farm Store Shopping Event.  We hope you stop by!!  Thank you for shopping small and supporting your local beekeeper!!     

We would like to thank Franklin Bank for selecting us as small business of the month for the month of October.  We truly appreciate the fact that Franklin Bank promotes small business owners in the community, and we enjoyed meeting new people through this experience!  As part of our display, we raffled a “Products of the Hive” gift basket which contained a 1lb. bottle of Frog Ocean Honey, along with one each of our hand-made products -soap with honey, natural beeswax lip balm, honey sugar scrub, and natural beeswax hand cream.  We would like to congratulate Terri Ehret on winning the basket!  Thank you to everyone who entered, for your interest in our products, and for supporting your local beekeeper!
