🍯 Connell’s Freedom Farms Honey Reserve
— Now Open 🐝
Limited number of reserves available.
After many requests over the years, we’re officially opening our 2026 Honey Reserve.
Our apiary is small, and everything we do with the bees is still done by hand — caring for the colonies, checking frames, harvesting, and bottling the honey right here on the farm. Because of that, the amount of honey we produce each season is naturally limited.
In most seasons our honey sells out once bottling begins, which is what led us to create the Honey Reserve.
Opening a Honey Reserve allows families to secure their honey ahead of harvest so reserve members are filled first when bottling begins later this season.
Families who join the Honey Reserve become part of our First Harvest Circle — the group who receives the first jars filled each season before any public sales begin.
Our honey is packaged the way many of you have come to know and appreciate — in traditional glass mason jars with a wooden honey dipper, filled with the small-batch honey our bees produce right here on the farm.
Hive Sponsors will receive the first reserve numbers before the public list opens.

🐝 What Honey Reserve Means
Reserve members receive:
• Honey filled before waitlist and public sales
• Priority access to the first bottling batches
• Early pickup notification
• First right of refusal if a spring harvest occurs
If a spring harvest happens, you may choose to receive spring honey or keep your reserve for the traditional late-season harvest.

📋 How to Reserve
Send us a message with:
1️⃣ Your name
2️⃣ Reserve size (Small, Medium, or Large)
3️⃣ Preferred contact method
We’ll confirm availability and provide deposit details.
⸻
💛 Payment
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your Honey Reserve.
The remaining balance will be due at pickup.
Deposits are refundable only if seasonal production prevents us from fulfilling your reserve.
⸻
📦 Pickup & Shipping
Farm pickup is preferred.
If shipping is requested, shipping and handling will be invoiced separately so your honey arrives safely.
⸻
🌾 Limited Availability
Honey Reserves are intentionally capped below expected production to ensure we never overpromise based on seasonal conditions.
Once reserves are filled, a waitlist will remain open for any remaining harvest availability.

Thank you for continuing to support local agriculture, pollinator stewardship, and the quiet work that happens behind the scenes long before honey ever reaches a jar.
