Fair Winds & Following Bees Farm LLC

Fair Winds & Following Bees Farm LLC Passionate about horses and beekeeping, we offer equine boarding and beekeeping mentorships. A common phrase heard in the U.S.

Navy is “Fair Winds and Following Seas.” It carries a lot of meaning. In one sense, it is a wish for good weather and safe travels; in another, it is a verbal gesture of good luck to those leaving port and heading out into the great and empty expanses of the seven seas. (Credit: Dan Doyle)

In honor of co-owner Paul Prokopovich's many years of service in the U.S. Navy, and in a humorous nod to his

love of beekeeping, Fair Winds & Following Bees Farm was born. We have a love for horses and bees, offering equine boarding services and beekeeping mentorships at our small family-owned farm.

Then the horses scoffed at my worry that they’d be scared of the freshly delivered piles of wood chips by the paddock gates. Nope.

It may have been rainy and grey today but that didn’t stop the shenanigans. First Jagger tried to convince me that his stick wasn’t really *that* big.

With the weather getting warmer, I love looking out at the pastures to see the donkeys and horses soaking up the sun. Even the little initial heart attack I get each time I see one laying flat, head on the ground, looking to all the world like they’re dead but really just napping away, is worth it. Welcome Spring!!

The chickens aren’t quite sure what to make of the snow, though they had zero interest in heading back into the coop just yet. (Apologies for the sniffles, it’s cold!)
