Caldwell Acres

Jam season begins! The rain has been very helpful, only about 5 % of the berries are ripe.

Didn’t check for eggs yesterday. I should have grabbed the basket because yes I did drop one.

First small batch turned out pretty good

First attempt at mulberry jam, wish me luck. Ayden did not want to stop picking them.

Strawberries are producing good this year

Strawberries are ripening up nicely

Take care of mother nature and she will take care of you. All bees died off over the winter, but without having to buy a Nuc a swarm moved into one of the empty hives. They are doing fantastic and are really healthy!

First boil of the season went well

Boiling days today

I’d say the fall flow is in session

We are extremely happy and grateful today. We did an inspection today and all but one hive survived!! The rest of the hives are strong, happy and healthy.

It’s a sad day here at caldwell acres

Goldenrod is starting to bloom!

Another batch of peach jam is ready but act fast we only have 3 jars left! If you have reached out to us already, your jar has been set aside.
As always thanks for shopping local 😊

The peach cobbler jam turned out excellent! We only did a small batch this run but will be doing a bigger batch tomorrow and have some for sale.

Shoutout to Caldwell's Cutting LLC for some fresh peaches!! We will be experimenting with some peach jam recipes!

Today was a lucky day. We literally buttoned up the hives 5 minutes before the storms rolled through

Another day of extracting! We have 40 bottles of honey for sale and 8 cut comb for sale.
$8 - 12oz bottle
$8 - cut comb
As always thanks for supporting local 😊

It’s been about 3 years since we brought bees on the property and let the back acre grow up. It’s crazy how fast the native wildlife come back. And I hate to see summer go but it sure is pretty when all the goldenrod blooms.

Relaxing and putting on the labels of the vanilla chapsticks

The ladies are working the clover nicely

New chapstick labels arrived today!
