Summer Honey - In select stores only!
Country Barn Farm has harvested the Summer Honey! We received a LOT of pre-orders this year so our summer honey is only available at some of our retailers. We are out of stock here at the farm. You can purchase our honey right now at the Giant Eagle Market Districts in Wexford, Shadyside, Bethel Park, and Robinson; as well as Marty's Market in the Strip District, Whole Foods in Wexford, and Cafe Latte in Indiana Township. Whole Foods in Shadyside is holding a few jars to be placed in a new store display later this month. The Market District Stores are also stocking our honey soap and beeswax lip balm!
Our Honey Products
We produce raw honey that is lightly filtered and never heated, so we are able to offer the sweetest natural food in the world at peak flavor and nutritional benefit.
Our honey is typically harvested in the months of July and September. The timing and size of the harvest depends on the weather and, of course, the bees.
We also offer honey-based products year-round such as all natural lip balm, honey soap, and beeswax candles. These products are made in small batches to ensure freshness.
We have a selection of great products thal make wonderful gifts. Please visit our Products page for ordering information.
All of our products are made on the premises of County Barn Farm. You can find our items at local stores or we will ship them to you. Simply complete the Order Form or call (412) 225-0930 to place your order. Please visit our Products page for more information.
We have put together list of fun to read and informative books just for kids. Click here to download.
