Our History

The lush rolling hills of North Carolina are home to the Brushy Mountain Bee Farm. Lying in an isothermal belt, the Bee Farm is surrounded by orchards of apples and peaches, with small vineyards close by. This rich land with varied wild plants is a perfect spot for honeybees.

Steve and Sandy Forrest opened the Brushy Mountain Bee Farm for business in 1977. It began as a part-time business with the office and wood shop in the home of Sandy and Steve. In 1980 it grew into a full time business that spread into an old barn that was on the property and a small two-room house. A year later a 200 year-old log cabin was moved from an adjacent property and attached to the two room house to form the retail and storage facility for the business. The first warehouse was built in 1983 for storage and shipping and the offices were moved into the log cabin. As the business grew more buildings were added and today it occupies over 20,000 square feet under roof with a woodshop, metal shop, sewing room, office, retail, and warehouse space.

A network of computers enables Brushy Mountain to expand its business into foreign countries and keep customers happy from coast to coast. Since 1998 we have had our catalog online and an e-commerce site for the convenience of our customers. It has expanded, changed, and increased with each year.

Brushy Mountain Bee Farm is constantly on the lookout for new and innovative products to make the art of beekeeping more fun and profitable for its customers. We take very seriously our promise for Fast Service, High Quality, and Customer Support.
