Honey Farms & Apiaries near Plympton, MA

Plymouth

Follow The Honey sells raw honey sourced from beekeepers around the world who keep their colonies free of pesticides and antibiotics. The Plymouth-based company built its name on tracing each jar back to the specific apiary and steward who produced it, rather than blending honey from unnamed sources the way most commercial brands do. The family-run business also works to support small beekeeping operations and educate customers on how bee health connects to the honey in the jar.

Birchland Apiaries keeps hives in Randolph and sells the raw honey they produce, running what amounts to an urban apiary just south of Boston. They also handle hive removals for neighbors who find a colony has moved in somewhere unwanted — a service that comes up almost as often as honey sales on their page. Reach them by phone to ask about current honey stock.

Braintree

After 19 years as an engineer in corporate America, I reached my breaking point. Surprisingly, it wasn’t a revelation about honey that triggered the change, but the honey from Jamaica altered my perspective entirely. So much so, that I uprooted two of my three sons and relocated to Jamaica to become a bee farmer. This marked the inception of Ivyees ‘Everything Honey’.

Braintree

Ivyees Everything Honey in Braintree, Massachusetts crafts clean, nutrient-rich skincare powered by raw organic honey — pure, chemical-free products made to nourish, protect, and restore.

Roberchar Apiary is a small beekeeping operation based in Jamaica Plain, in Boston proper rather than out in the suburbs — an example of how much urban beekeeping has grown around the city. Beyond the location and a listed phone line, there's little public detail on what they sell or how to buy from them directly.

Rehoboth

Dufort Farms in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, established in 1990 on 32 acres dating to about 1865, raises USDA grass-fed beef start-to-finish from its own cow/calf operation plus outdoor-foraged pork — all 100% free of hormones and antibiotics. The year-round farm store sells individual cuts, local honey, and homemade jams and jellies from the farm's berries, and July through September brings pick-your-own from a field of 1,000 blueberry bushes.
