Saanich Peninsula Honey
At Country Bee Honey Farm we pride ourselves on our amazing honey, delicious infusions, farm raised livestock, and unique gift ideas. Our Premium Honey is collected from nine different locations around the Saanich Peninsula. Who knows, our bees might be making honey from your backyard! No extraction tastes the same, and neither is your experience when you visit the farm. But one thing is certain… there is always something exciting to see at Country Bee Honey Farm!
ABOUT US
In 2015 Jason and Lindsay took a hard look at their big city life and it was abundantly clear they weren’t living the life they wanted. So they took a giant leap of faith and purchased an 11 acre farm in the town that Lindsay grew up in.
If you’ve driven by the property you’ll notice that there is a lot going on, and a lot more to come. We have beautiful walking gardens, animal pens for the kids, and picnic tables for you to sit and enjoy a coffee and honey treat at. Come into our store to try all the fabulous honeys we have. The honey tasting bar is full of delicious choices.
The Farm Experience is
OPEN FOR THE SEASON!
The Country Bee Farm Experience allows you to experience the back of our farm and meet the animals on a self guided tour. This tour is open March-October each year, varying dates depending on what mother nature gives us for weather. We have acres of sunflowers that bloom across 3 acres of open land during the summer, you enjoy this on your walk to that back of the farm. Every year we welcome new babies throughout the summer. You never really know what your going to get. In late August of 2023 we were surprised with 10 piglets….
A field full of vibrant pollinator-friendly flowers and sunflowers to help you escape your busy life, and enjoy nature’s beauty. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life that we forget to stop and smell the flowers… and that is exactly what you can do here. A variety of flowers bloom throughout the summer, with the main flower fields being in bloom from late July through to August.
While wandering through our upper gardens you can meet and feed a variety of farm animals including goats, sheep, pigs, birds, hair sheep, emus, alpacas, baby chicks, miniature donkeys and a miniature pony! Grab a treat from our café to enjoy at one of the picnic tables located in the field or find some shade under the gazebo. A great outdoor adventure for families and nature enthusiasts!
In 2022 we introduced our pollinating pole, wooden sculptures, informational boards about bees, pollinators, and all our animals, it really brings the back garden to life!
The Farm Experience is now open for the 2025 season. Passes can still be purchased in store, our farm store is still open 7 days a week from 10am-5pm.
