Griffin Corners, LLC is a producer of agricultural products based in the Village of Fleischmanns, nestled in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York. Fleischmanns was initially named Griffin Corners in honor of Matthew Griffin, a prominent lawyer (he was admitted to the bar in 1851) and businessman (he owned a store and later a hotel). We so take the name of Griffin Corners in the spirit of tha
t early American entrepreneurship, which we believe to be an inalienable right of the people to ensure self-determined economic success, to profit and pleasure thereby, in order to keep the peace and harmony of our free society. Griffin Corners, LLC operates Chasing Honey Farm, a 5-acre meadow in the Catskill Mountains, opposite Belleayre Mountain Ski Center, which keeps beehives and produces honey and related products on a co-op basis. All our honey is Pure Honey, 100% produced locally on-site without chemicals. Unlike mass-market honey, which is often manufactured and processed overseas, our honey is naturally made without the use of any miticides (fluvalinate, coumaphos, thymol) or formic acid. We let our bees fend for themselves and develop their own natural resistance to the bee mites that are impacting honeybees in North America. Products include Cut Comb Honey, Unfiltered Honey, and bulk wax. Also co-located on the farm are wildflower, herb, grape, and apple crops which provide a pollen source for the bees and additional product lines as the farm matures to full production. Only organic and biodynamic processes are used to fertilize and control pests. Regular soil condition, water testing, and other key indicators will be made publicly available to satisfy interest in our farming practices.
