Top of the Mountain Honey Bee Farm
Maybe the first thing that grabs you at Top of the Mountain Honey Bee Farm in Wantage, New Jersey, is the scent of raw, unfiltered honey swirling from the hive as you approach the stand. They mostly do wildflower honey in New Jersey, with a bold, true-to-the-hive flavor that tastes like nectar and sun. And for those who like a little something extra, the infused honey lineup featuring apple cider, lemon, and mixed berry, all without losing that raw character. You can sample on-site, talk with John and Donna, patient beekeepers who answer a million questions and make you feel at home. The farm is also a little petting-zoo of friendly animals, and the owners care for rescued animals on site, a hands-on vibe that makes you feel connected to the colony. If you can’t swing by, the online store ships nationwide, so Wantage products are just a click away. Fans travel from far-off places, Queens included, to taste in person or ship their favorite jar back home, and that dedication says it all.
