What a find. Let me tell you when my partner said that we were taking a romantic weekend in Somerset I was a little bit concerned. But between the hiking trails and finding Summer Smiles Honey Farm the weekend was a blast. Possibly not romantic but a really great time. I was searching for Honey Farms in the area to pick up some local honey. When I found this Farm I saw that it was run by two women and I knew that I had to go there. Even though their hours that they were closed on Sunday I sent them a text just hoping that maybe for Memorial Day weekend they had different hours. I was pleasantly surprised, actually ecstatic, when I got a text back inviting us to the farm. Not only are they a honey farm they also run Airbnb. So if you're looking for a good time you can always rent out one of the air B&B rooms and then order their homemade food that is made in their kitchen on the farm. Honestly can you think of anything better than waking up and eating food that you were looking at or you can walk through. This was a great find. We also learn that they do pizza in their pizza oven that's outside, and music. I honestly cannot wait to go back. I purchase some honey, some bread, some eggs, and some of their butter. We then took a walk on the property with the dog and ended up in the barn meeting the rescued goats, pigs, and cow. Honestly it was great. Darci one of the owners, who showed us around, was absolutely wonderful. She was so warm and friendly and allowed us to see how she runs the farm all from a text message request to buy honey. That was the best part. Not only did she open up shop for us she talked to us for at least an hour and allowed us around the property to see how she runs the place. It was great. If you are looking for a place to stay while in Somerset stay here. They have four Airbnb rooms that look so fun and the menu that they cook up in their kitchen looks great. Just a sample the bread and the butter with some of that honey, yum yum. I can't imagine that anything that she cooks would taste bad. Try it out if you're around the area. You will not regret it. read more

See all

I've been to Summer Smiles for a number of occasions and have always enjoyed the experience. The two farm-to-table dinners were excellent I'm terms of the culinary experience and the welcoming ambiance Darci and Amanda create for their guests. Last evening one of my little boys and I stopped by to pick up wood fired pizza and salad, and he enjoyed watching his pizza being cooked outside on a winter night, and while we were there he was able to pop in to see a blacksmithing class and go sample some honey. One trip for take out pizza that will inspire hours of conversation about bees, blacksmithing, and cooking with open flames. My kids devoured the cheese pizzas and the grown ups loved our pie with foraged mushrooms and homemade sausage. My salad with goat cheese and pickled beets was delightful. This is a very special place in the Laurel Highlands. Don't miss it! read more
