WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US AND OUR GIFT STORE

SIDEBAR:
Ok, we realize that you would probably believe all the statements (easily), 
if we were on Facebook or some other "place" on-line. 
Honestly, we tried those "places" and it became a nightmare for us.
You'll just have to believe the words-
Every statement is absolutely the truth. 
But, as the sayings go:
"The Proof Is In The Pudding" -
which means
"Actions Speak Louder Than Words" -
which means
 "Visit Us And You Be The Judge"

And, now ... WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US & OUR GIFT STORE:
"No hassles, no huge "mall" crowds"
"Great prices and the best values in town!"
"Worth the drive from just about any where"
"The scenery is awesome!"
"Cool gifts.  Great selection!  Beautiful Candles!"
"Knorr Beeswax Candles are a great addition -
The prices are unbelievable for these too - up to  30% off!"
"The honey soaps, lotions, and other body care products are awesome!   
Great to see items from
Bonny Doon Lavender Farm, too."
"I asked for Naked Bee products. Dana got them in her store!"
"Wow!  I can easily shop for anyone on my list!
This is very, very nice."
"I save so much money when I shop here!  So much to choose from.  And,
every day almost every item is 30% off the regular price... It's great!"
"The beeswax candles burn beautifully and the honey is the best I have ever tasted.
  I hope Ed and Dana never quit!"

WHY TAKE AN ENJOYABLE TRIP TO THE COUNTRY

TO VISIT OUR FARM STORE?
  • Enjoy tastings of our honey and, when available, our delicious wildflower bee pollen - Just Ask! 
  • Find the best-tasting raw, hand processed honey around and a beautiful selection of hand crafted pure beeswax candles that will take your breath away
  •  Take advantage of the best & lowest prices any where on popular gift items and body care products: 30% savings off the reg. retail every day!
  • Relaxing atmosphere - There is no pressure, no huge crowds - Re-l-a-a-a-x!
  •  Selection:  We are not the largest gift store around, but we sure know how to offer a selection of gifts which are nicely showcased into a 200 sq. foot space
  • No "sour faces" here!  (the only thing that's "sour" around here are the limes, which look like lemons, on our lime tree)   Even our honey bees smile as they fly back and forth flower to flower, and then back to their hives.  Of course, the cold and rainy days don't bring smilin' bees around... But, we know they're smiling in their warm homes
  • Two beekeepers who are absolutely grateful to you, your time and your business  
     
  •  And, two dogs that run to greet you with enthusiasm ... (almost too much enthusiasm)  But, just know that they love company..they can't help it.  But wait!  We also realize that there may be those who don't quite enjoy doggies:   Boomer and KC will do their best to be respectful of all who visit our farm.  If for any reason you are bothered by dogs, please never hesitate to tell us.  We will respect your request to kindly remove them to their cushy and comfy pens!
