The 5 bees farm

Follow us on our journey at The 5 Bees Farm as we share the joys of raising our family in our 1769 farmhouse, raising livestock and striving to live a simple and more sustainable lifestyle.

nice to meet you

Hi, thanks for being here. We are Rich and Natalie and we are thrilled to be sharing our homesteading adventures with you. Living on a farm is a new way of life for us. We were both raised in suburban neighborhoods and had little exposure to farm animals growing up. After we got married, we lived in the city for 9 years. After city living, we moved back to our hometown, where we eventually settled on our 25 acre historic farm with our 3 children.

At The 5 Bees Farm, we are striving to provide a farm to table living for our family and local residents. We focus on raising chickens, ducks and turkeys for eggs, honey, and soon we will provide pasture raised chicken to the community. We are working to expand our vegetable garden and have dreams of building our own greenhouse to grow food year round.
