Sweet Life Farm

We have been a self sustainable homestead farm for over 28 years and we added honey bees to the mix about 20 years ago. At that time it changed our little farm into something so much more. Our garden, fruit trees, and pastures, started to produce more and more each year.

​

That is when we seen that we had such a sweet life within our farm. How could we not name our farm Sweet Life Farm. We have found our passion in living off our land and would love to share our experience with you.

​

We love to help people learn more about beekeeping and sustainable living. We can help you on your path to find what you can do to help the honey bees

​

We have many ways for someone to help the honey bees. Not just here in the bee yard, but around the state. Feel free to ask us how you can help the little creatures we love so much.
