Have you ever wanted to harvest your own honey?
Become an apiarist with help from our starter hive! Our nucleus (nuc) colony comes equipped with medium farms, a marked, Kansas raised mated queen bee, 2-3 frames of brood, drawn comb and honey in a wood nuc box. You pick up the entire box from our farm and take it to your place transferring them into your box. Your nuc will be ready for pickup at our farm by the end of June 2025. This amount is the remainder from the $50.00 deposit that secured your nuc. You'll have access to Rommey Farms for all your hive starter questions - because it takes a village to raise a colony!

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.
