Think you might “bee” interested?

Want to keep bees in 2027? Tomorrow is the day to get started!

It’s Cheese & Honey Day at the Coventry Farmers' Market, and we’re celebrating by putting our January 2027 Beginner Beekeeping classes on sale: just $45 for the full four-class series (normally $65).

Join us at 11:00 in the barn for a short talk on how to get started as a hobbyist beekeeper: what it takes, what it costs, and what your first year looks like. Bring your questions!

Class details and registration: https://www.stonewallapiary.com/class.php

Then swing by our booth to see the observation hive up close. Can you spot the queen? We’ll also have samples and plenty of wildflower honey, infused honeys, honey butter, and more.

See you at the market!

What are some of the benefits of joining a CSA?

• A regular supply of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other products
• Produce that retains more of the nutrients present at harvest, since it spends less time in transit or storage
• Getting introduced to new foods which you may not have otherwise tried
• Knowing exactly where your food comes from
• Supporting a local business, including farms committed to sustainable and environmentally conscious operations
• Regular visits to your local farm or farmers’ market — a particularly enjoyable outing for families with young children!
• Useful supplements like recipes and tips on how to prepare the latest share
• Members-only perks like farm stand discounts or free surplus shares during bountiful harvests

What’s a CSA, anyway?

“By paying in advance during the winter, you purchase a share of the farm’s crop during the upcoming season. You receive your share on a weekly or biweekly basis, over the course of several weeks or the full growing season. Only a limited number of shares are available, with the idea that this will create a closer relationship between farms and shareholders. By communicating with shareholders about their preferences, farmers can also be better prepared for the growing season ahead.”
