Three Sisters Farms

About Three Sisters Farms

We offer quality pure beeswax candles, a selection of soaps with essential oils, award-winning, certified naturally grown raw honey, and other quality items. Our bees visit a variety of wildflowers native to the lower Connecticut River Valley such as dandelion, purple loosestrife, asters, clover, and goldenrod, along with flowering trees including maples, willows, sumac, tulip poplar, and locust, to create a wonderfully unique, light honey with an exquisite taste. And best of all, our raw wildflower honey is made using organic management methods. That means we use no chemical pesticides to treat our hives, and our apiaries are located away from commercial farms and industrial sites to minimize pesticide residues. It takes more work to keep our hives healthy, but we believe it's better for our bees, environment--and you! Why's our honey SO GOOD? It's the combination of our area's floral sources. While we have no control over where our bees forage we can say that here in southeastern Connecticut there are no large-scale agricultural or industrial sites that could contaminate nectar and pollen collection. Our honey is harvested throughout the growing season, giving it a varietal character all its own: Our first harvest occurs in late June/early July and is very delicate in flavor--and very white to almost clear, thanks to the abundance of such sources as black locust and clover. We get a second crop with the addition of summer and nectars, including wild raspberry, golden rod, japanese knotweed, and aster and has a darker and bolder flavor. We are members of Connecticut Northeast Organic Farmers Association (CT-NOFA) and have signed the FARMERS PLEDGE to follow organic principles. Our honey is CERTIFIED NATURALLY GROWN. This program "maintains a more strict adherence to the original ideals and principles of organic agriculture even as USDA Organic comes under constant pressure to water down standards to accomodate large agribusiness corporations."

Sometimes referred to as the Bordeau of Honeys, Three Sisters Farms honey is excellent in your favorite tea, drizzled on warm buttered toast or, better yet, eaten alone by the teaspoonful! If you've tried our honey you know it's delicious. Never heat treated, always in demand. We try to reserve stocks for our best customers--will you be one, too?
