About the Farm
Franklin Honey Company, Inc. began in the spring of 2006 when Roger read an article about keeping honeybees and was immediately captivated by the idea. Always an outdoors enthusiast with a small apple orchard and both vegetable and flower gardens throughout his yard, the prospect of pollinating these with his very own bees was irresistible. He started by taking a class with the Worcester County Beekeepers Association, and Lauren soon joined the venture, equally intrigued by these amazing little creatures.
What started as two initial colonies has flourished over the years into 35+ hives located at Spring St, White Barn Farm, and Fairmount Fruit Farm. Roger and Lauren have committed themselves to raising their colonies without harsh chemicals, choosing to forgo antibiotics and chemical treatments. While this approach has meant taking losses over the years, it has also allowed them to develop strong strains that resist mites, diseases, pests, and harsh winters.
Their dedication to purity extends to every product they create. The honey and wax products remain pure and unaltered, exactly as the honeybees have made them. Through experimentation and perfection of numerous recipes, they have crafted hand cream, lip balm, soap, and pure candles. Roger, also known as a woodworker, has handmade all the hive components, tailoring them to perfectly fit the needs of the honeybees. Their goal is to inform, educate, and entertain while sharing their experiences, hoping others will find honeybees as interesting and exciting as they do.
