The Marshall's Farm Honey Story...

The tour is about a 2-hour tour with many features.
Member: $30.00 per adult (17 & over)
Non Member $40.00
Kids $10 (4-16 yrs)

Fees are payable in advance to lock in your requested date.

The tour includes a 20-minute film about bees & beekeeping. This film was produced by the National Honey Board for viewers of all ages. It is informative and fun.
After the film we do a honey & food pairing. At this time we will also offer you the chance to taste up to 25 of our Marshall's Farm varietal honeys and wildflower honeys.

If you plan to have snacks or lunch at the farm, save some room for these sweet honey treats. We will have a look into a real beehive. Our beekeeper will open the hive, show you a frame of bees & hopefully find the queen bee so you can meet her.
He will pull a frame of honey from the hive so that you can experience tasting honey right out of that beehive. A demonstration of honey extracting and bottling will follow.

After the tour, you will have an opportunity to have us bottle honey for you to purchase, to shop in our little country store or to have us make up a special gift basket for you.


Hand-crafted approach to traditional honey production. Our Beekeeper Spencer Marshall Harvests small quantities of superior quality gourmet honey in the very special microclimates of the San Francisco Bay Area. Spencer searches out locations that support only a few hives but produce exceptional tasting honeys.

The diverse & constantly changing seasonal blooms of the Bay Area (Eucalyptus, Star Thistle, Wildflower, Blackberry & others) produce floral nectars & pollens that differ greatly in taste, texture & color. Spencer harvests after each bloom, isolates the honey harvested from each apiary & thus creates the special flavor nuances & wonderful color variations in Marshall's Farm delectably delicious honey.

Our 100% pure natural honey will last forever & needs no refrigeration. If left in a cool place it may crystallize. If you prefer liquid honey, immerse the jar in warm water until the honey reliquefies.

If you look closely you can see natural pollen particles floating in the honey - some pollen remains as our honey is only lightly filtered. Honey is a healing, healthful fat-free food with minerals, & vitamins.

We use our honey every day, in tea, on toast, in baking, in dressings, marinades & sauces and on salads, fruits, veggies & meats. We hope you will too. It's great as a sweetener & flavor enhancer & even better right out of the jar.
