About Us
Dairy Creek Farm & Produce is just over eighteen acres including Dairy Creek that runs across the northern end with timber raising up just behind the creek. The rich farm land has been known for decades for growing fine fruits and vegetables and our family's vision was to do just that. We grew over thirty varieties last year. We recently added over 100 blueberry plants, will be expanding our strawberry patch and will prepare and plant more of our land than in any previous year.
 Pollination is one of the keys to a bountiful crop which is why we keep several bee hives. As novice bee keepers we had a huge learning curve but each year we gain knowledge and skill. We consult with an expert throughout the year and we now harvest enough that in the fall of 2010 we were able to offer our raw honey. We sell raw honey, bee pollen, beeswax candles and propolis extract. Call or submit an e-mail at the bottom of this page if you would like information or to purchase items prior to us getting our farm store up on this website.
 Each spring we have swarms which are amazing to watch. Take a look at this swarm that landed in one of our apple trees. Thousands of bees swarm around their queen in search of a new home. David is getting very good at directing swarms into a new box and suddenly they have a new home and we have a new hive.
