I started VFM Bees back in 2018 as a way of stepping back from mental overdrive. Beekeeping gave me a way to slow down and breathe - and despite the occassional sting, I've stuck with it since.  What started as a personal outlet, has grown to a small operation of 8 to 12 hives, tucked away within an incredible community “on the The Mountain” near Valley Forge National Park.

Each year I donate all proceeds from honey sales to an organization that is dedicated to providing support to individuals and communities navigating mental health challenges - and change the way we think and talk about mental health through education, awareness and meaningful action.

Thank you for your support and commitment to the VFM Bees mission!
