From Our Hives To You

Winn Acres began with just two hives and some curiosity.

We started keeping bees as a backyard hobby with an intent to engage our kids in hands-on learning and cultivate an early desire to connect with nature.

While they’re not quite old enough to work the hives themselves, we use the experience to learn together — from how plants are pollinated and where real food comes from and how it is produced, to the intricate relationships within ecosystems and the natural cycles that sustain life.

We definitely didn’t set out to build a brand. We simply wanted healthy bees and pure, raw honey for our family.

But the bees thrived, and before long, we were harvesting more honey than we could consume use ourselves. We needed to sell publicly, and Winn Acres was born.

Our apiary has grown a little but remains small, typically 4 to 8 hives, and our approach remains the same. Every honey harvest is done by hand, handled with care, and minimally processed to preserve its natural character. We believe honey should taste like the place it came from — shaped by local flora blooms and the uniqueness of each season.

If you can't tell, it's not really about selling honey for us.

It’s about teaching responsibility, discipline, stewardship, and giving back to nature.

It’s about slowing down, stepping away from screens, and working with our hands.

Every jar represents family time, sticky fingers, humid summer days, and thousands of hardworking bees doing what they were created to do.
