Our Story - The Beginning
Hi there. My name is Priscilla Carreau. I started this business with the help of my Christian Community of which I am a member, back in the year 1998, to be able to support myself. Our Community owns a honeybee farm since 1997, and I was encouraged to start selling our honey at the retail level. At the same time, I began experimenting in making various products made of components from the beehive, such as beeswax, pollen, and propolis. I read several books on the subject and found that beehive products are natural, and can boost the immune system, and in some case, even help healing some minor skin problems.
At first I tried to sell honey to stores and supermarkets at wholesale price, but later I found it better to go directly to the customer at various shopping centres in Ottawa. With the help of my family, we regularly visited 8 locations in the region : Ottawa, Cornwall and other country events such as the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, and many others. Our business is expanding. We are no longer selling in shopping malls, but directly from the farm, on line, or from one of our distributors. We also provide a delivery service in the Ottawa region.
Bee Farm/Ferme Apicole
I am also a beekeeper, and keep some colonies of bees in my backyard. Together with the Community’s beekeeping operation, we manage several hundreds colonies of bees, producing large amounts of honey, beeswax, pollen and propolis. Therefore, all our products are made of our own production, from our own bees. We do not buy honey, beeswax, pollen or propolis from any other sources. Our honey is local and very much Canadian. It comes from wild flower source only.
Farm gate store/Magasin champêtre
We have our own self-serve store at home, at the farm, where customer can come in any time, except Sundays, to get their fresh supply of honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly & skin care products.
It is located at: 1729 Fraser Road, Moose Creek, Ontario.
