We sell limited numbers of nucleus colonies for pickup at our farm in Cassoday, Kansas. By making this deposit, it will ensure you receive one while supplies last.
Our nucleus (nuc) colony comes equipped with medium frames, a marked Kansas mated queen bee, 2-3 frames of brood, drawn comb and honey in a wood nuc box. You pick up the entire box and take it to your place transferring them into your box. We estimate your nuc will be ready for pickup towards the end of May/June 2025.
Due to these nucs being raised in Kansas, weather and local environmental conditions can effect how the colonies progress, the nucs, may not be ready until the end of June 2023. You'll have access to Rommey Farms for all your hive starter questions - because it takes a village to raise a colony! Your $50.00 plus tax deposit to reserve your order with the balance ($185.00) plus tax when nucs are picked up at our farm. We process the payment through our online store, sales tax is added on each payment.

Is there a guarantee of quantities or contents?
Members support our farm by sharing in the inherent risks of agriculture (poor weather, drought, disease, early frost, crop failure and so on) and rewards (the bounty from a good season.) We purposely plan for such contingencies, and use growing techniques that protect the harvest, minimize risk to members and optimize the rewards: growing a wide variety of crops that thrive in different types of conditions, cover cropping, crop rotation, and irrigation.
Rommey Farms L.L.C. will act in good faith to provide fresh produce for the duration of the season, however, there is no guarantee of quantities or contents of weekly shares. Members are welcome to split a share with someone. However, share-splitting is the responsibility of the member. Rommey Farms L.L.C. does not manage the splitting of shares. Many members work out arrangements to share with their friends and neighbors, when they have to leave town during the growing season.
