Raw honey and beeswax candles,in an old bank on Elm Street.

From the bee yard to Elm Street.

I used to be a union electrician. Then I met a third-generation beekeeper and everything changed. After years of hearing about bees every single day, I finally went out to the bee yard — the weight of the boxes and frames, the smell of the hive, the sound of tens of thousands of bees all doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.

I started selling honey at farmers markets in December 2019. A year later I stumbled into this storefront on Elm Street in Ludlow. 218 Elm Street used to be a bank — the Ludlow Savings and Loan, built in the late 1800s — and the vault is still here.

I source my honey from small farms and family-owned apiaries, so every jar is filled with the purest honey possible. One jar of honey at a time.
