FULL BEEKEEPING SERVICES & SALES. LOCAL RAW HONEY & Beeswax Products. SUSTAINABILITY WORKSHOPS. EDUCATION. 

 I have some exciting news to share with you!

I will be "overwintering" in Georgia, working for Swan Honey, a commercial beekeeping operation out of Albion, Maine. The hives overwinter in Georgia, get shipped to California for almond Pollination, back to Georgia until sometime in May, then home to Maine for the wild blueberries. 

I am super excited for the experience of being exposed to this scale of beekeeping. 

I will be traveling home to PA periodically to maintain my client hives, and then permanently home sometime in May. 

The Farm property was sold this fall to two lovely ladies from Phoenix, Arizona.  Tracey and Julie are happily enjoying everything the farm has to offer them.   Their values are on spot with what I envisioned for this slice of paradise.  I could not have asked for anyone any better to take over this property, than these two women.   You both are truly a blessing. 

As far as the on-farm Shop, it will be CLOSED.  Please look for my products at the following:  

*Eliza's Organics, LLC, located at 800 Millcreek Rd in Johnstown, owned by Rob and Lori Beard, *Bottleworks Ethnic Center Gift Shop located in Cambria City, Johnstown,  
*Jar The Zero Waste Store, located at 101 W Main street, Somerset

Thank you all for the years of support to Summer Smiles Honey Farm!!!  Our loyal shoppers, Farm-to-Table Dinner Guests, Pizza customers, CSA Members, Hive Sponsors, wholesale partners, and Airbnb guests.   

Although SSH focus has shifted fully on the honey bees restoration, hive services, and education, many lovely memories will be cherished and friendships that will stand the test of time.  

I am super excited for our PA hives 2021 season!!   The Raw Honey CSA, Hive sponsorship, Hive servicing, Nuc sales, equipment sales, and beekeeping classes will all be offered as normal.  If you are interested in receiving more information or signing up for any other those offerings, please send me a note.
