This time I purchased two of the darker honey, but it was noticeably thinner than previous batches and lacked the rich consistency I expected. It seems they may be selling a thinner version now. Unfortunately, because of the decline in quality, I won't be purchasing honey from here anymore, which is disappointing since I had been a repeat customer.

I had learned about The Bee Folks years ago when visiting the Maryland Renaissance Fair. To be…read morehonest, one of favorite parts of going, besides wearing the cosplay, was to buy this local honey and support the small business. I love the fact that you could sample the different types inside the tent. I would often buy honeysticks to share at my job, always buy a jar of Killer Bee Honey, and try another flavor just because. After recently relocating to the Frederick County area, I was excited to find out that The Bee Folks is located in Mount Airy, only 20 minutes or so away! Unfortunately with COVID-19, the fair has been cancelled this year and with everyone staying in the house, I found myself without honey. I was able to easily make an online order and Lori quickly e-mailed me back to let me know my order was ready for pick up. Even though we got there early and no one was there, Lori responded to my e-mail and allowed my boyfriend to enter the store (of course with his mask on) and grab the bag. As always, the quality of this honey is amazing and I am so glad to have it again! This local business is amazing and I strongly recommend that if you are a honey lover, you will find something here that suits you!

I think something happened before. Regardless, I don't have a dog and it doesn't affect me. What matters is the ice cream. They get the milk from Guernsey cows which you can visit at certain times. The milk is super creamy. As a result, the ice cream is thicker and creamier than others. I like their creamy flavor if you like plain. They circulate flavors and recently tried their strawberry which has chunks of strawberry and has a nice flavor profile. They are right off the road so easy access. They have picnic benches all around and a playground for kids. Certain times in Spring/Summer, there's a flower field to look at. The service is good. Never had problems. The inside is rustic and simple. The main thing is to get the ice cream which is worth it in my opinion. It is a farther drive for me, but the quality doesn't compare. We had tried a lot of places near by and we still find this one as the superior one.

Airy and surrounding towns, fresh, local food & hand made products"- Dropped by here this afternoon, a big plus is Sunday hours in early March. Beautiful farmland- idyllic setting in farm outbuildings. We could see some lambs in an adjacent barn and it appeared there were numerous farm animals about, my thought ran to upcoming spring and summer and how much the children would enjoy this place. The store is small and a bit cramped, but we were hit with wonderful aromas on entering- homemade herbal soaps, freshly baked cookies, pies, cobblers and pasta. A refrigerator held a variety of local cheeses, fresh eggs, farm fresh milk and cream, and a freezer held the good stuff- bacon, farm-raised beef, hot dogs, sausages, and jerky. Oh how I love jerky. Children in the market were negotiating for different flavors of frozen custard that looked great. The lovely lady at the counter explained that the owner sends farm-raised meats to the butcher, and that a family pack type order could be placed. The jerky must have been processed by a place in PA per the label- it was fabulous. Thin and dry and perfectly seasoned, I at least got it home and defrosted before I devoured it. I also picked up some summmer sausage- have not tried it yet, but the smell is tantalizing and I'm looking forward to slicing some with some of the horseradish cheddar, some crackers and something to drizzle the honey over- yes, local honey. Wow. I may just eat it out of the jar, it is that good. Not much local produce- there is none yet, but I am looking forward to stopping back by later in the season, with the children- and the camera!.

This place is going to become a family favorite for years to come!…read more I took the kids last weekend to see the lamb that were only a week old! There were chickens running around too! It was our first time at England Acres and it is absolutely beautiful farmland! We met Judy and Hannah. Hannah took us over to the barn and picked up one of the lamb and let my daughter hold him. My daughter was so excited! We headed back inside and picked up eggs, bacon, lamb, steaks, and chicken. Nothing beats grass farm fresh food that comes from a place that is right down the street and where the animals have been very well taken care of. Don't get me wrong, it's pricey, but it's worth every penny to support a local farm, for the flavor of the food, and for your health!

It is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The farm is beautiful, the experience is fun, and it's a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors.
