🐝🍯MEET OUR MAKERS — The Stanley Orchard & Apiary! 🐝🍯
We’re so excited to introduce Robert & Laura Stanley, the wonderful local family behind all of the honey products you’ll find here at Smith Family Orchards Farm Store! ❤️
The Stanley Orchard & Apiary is a small hobby orchard and apiary right here in Palisade. Robert & Laura, along with their two sons, care for their 44 hives throughout the valley — including multiple hives right here at Smith Family Orchards! 🐝🌸
They bring us an amazing variety of honey products, including:
🍯Raw honey
🍯Whipped & creamed flavored honey
🍯Bee pollen
🍯Honey spoons
🍯Honey suckers
🍯Honey sticks
Many of these products are made in delicious flavors like peach, blackberry, cotton candy, strawberry, raspberry & MORE! 😋
Their boys, Wayne & Covie, are active members of the Mesa County 4-H Bee Club, while Robert & Laura are members of the Veteran Bee Club Hives for Heroes.
We love seeing this family share their passion for bees and agriculture with the next generation! 🇺🇸🐝
🐝And bees are incredibly important to Palisade!
As bees move from blossom to blossom, they pollinate our fruit trees and plants, helping produce the peaches, apples, cherries and other crops that make the Grand Valley so special. Our orchards simply couldn’t thrive without our hardworking pollinators! 🍑🍒🌸
🐝Did you know? Honey is more than just delicious! Raw honey contains naturally occurring antioxidants and other plant compounds, and it can be a wonderful natural sweetener.
BEE POLLEN also contains protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients — making it a popular addition to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal and more.
We’re proud to support this wonderful local family and are thrilled to have their delicious honey products right here in our store!
Come see what the bees & the Stanley’s have been busy making! 🍯🐝
Located at 680 36-1/4 Rd, Palisade
