2025 Easter Hop Fest
Is In The Basket

Bees & Trees newest ride for the kids is a six-car barrel train loved by all!

The weather held for the 4th Annual Hop Fest sponsored by Bees & Trees Farm

Bees & Trees welcomed several hundred kids and adults to their 4th Annual Easter Hop Fest held Saturday, April 19th.  Moved from its original date of Aptil 12th, the event was breezy and warm instead of cold, damp and gusty.

"We are so glad we moved the event to its rain date," said owner Teresa Gregson.  It was warm and breezy and we didn't have to worry about the kids getting sick by looking for eggs in the damp, cold wind."

This year's event went off without a hitch and Gregson attributes that to learning from past experiences! 

"Over the years we have learned, that it doesn't matter how many eggs you hide, there are children who won't get any unless you make sure there is a limit on how many each child may collect."

This year's limit was nine eggs per child but there were also extra eggs hidden (in the event some went un-found) and the Easter bunny carried candy in his basket  to hand out as well!

"We actually had children helping other children find eggs," said Teresa.   "It was really quite remarkable, once some had found their eggs, they began helping other children they didn't even know find eggs.  It was pretty special to witness.  The changes we made this year definitely helped to insure all the kids had a great time."

"Additionally, we've doubled the number of coupons hidden in the eggs so that each age group had two eggs with 10% off coupons hidden in them!  Coupons were good for anything in the Farm Store but alcohol and were good only the day of the event.

Son Of A Bear Cider was also on hand and offered FREE tastings of their ciders and cisers (half cider half honey meade wine)!

"We can't wait to officially welcome them to the farm," said Gregson, referring to the building they are building across from the Farm Store.

"Their well and septic has been sited and construction on the will is supposed to begin the first week in May.

Fox 5 DC Names Bees & Trees One of Five "Must See" Spots
In the Culpeper Area!

Bees & Trees Farm was recently designated one of the top five best places in the Culpeper, VA--defined as a "must see" if you are in the area by Fox 5 DC.  Obviously, owners, Jeff and Teresa Gregson were thrilled with the designation.

Click here to watch the video.

"Nothing can prepare you for a compliment like this," said Teresa Gregson.  "We have tried to create an atmosphere on the farm that brings people together and infuses joy in the lives of our guests, and to find out that other people like what we have created is tremendously satisfying."

Featured in the brief video clip are the farm's signage for the store, driveway, one of its goats (Sebastian), their honeybees, a number of their hens, their farm store, their Airbnb and even their event Gazebo!

"They certainly packed a lot in the 40 second clip," said Jeff Gregson, "but that clip really gives you a good sense of what it's like pulling into our farm and what you'll see once you get here!"

When it all started--

The Gregson's purchased their 43-acre farm 11 years ago and have tried to improve the farm's agri-business offerings to the public each year they have been open.

"We're just a big ole work in progress" said Teresa.  "We believe if you're not constantly evolving, you're probably missing opportunities."

Bees & Trees first opened a Christmas store in 2013 and made it year around selling local wines, hard cider and specialty food products and gifts in  2015. They added their  gardens in 2016 and 2017. 

In 2020, they began construction on the "The Garden View Suite," their Airbnb, and completed it in the fall of 2021.   Since listing the Suite on Airbnb, the property has been named "Guest Favorite" and the owners have been listed as Superhosts consecutively for ten quarters.

They began  building out their event space (aptly named "The Gazebo") in the spring of 2022 and finished landscaping, installing a paved walkway and all the needed electrical work in 2023--they hosted their fist wedding the summer of 2024 and they say there are even bigger things to come in the future.

What's up for next year--

Beginning the winter of 2025, Son Of A Bear Ciders (owned by Ric and Cary McMahon) will be leasing ground at Bees & Trees and building a tasting room to be completed by spring.   The tasting room will also provide space for the intimate weddings and events that the Gregson's will be hosting

"We've been carrying SOAB hard ciders in our Farm Store for years and everyone loves them, they are amazing!" said Jeff.  "This is a family-run company whose values are comparable to our own and we are thrilled to bring them onto our property."   

"We consider ourselves a gathering place, said Teresa, "a place to bring people together, share special times and create meaningful memories.  The more opportunities we find and develop that embrace that concept, the better Bees & Trees will be.

"One of my favorite sayings is the best is yet to come," said Teresa, "and I believe it with with all of my heart."

Tasting Room Coming Spring 2025 to
Bees & Trees Farm

After weeks of social media teasing, Bees & Trees owners, Teresa & Jeff Gregson, announced during the Culpeper County Harvest Days Farm Tour, their collaboration with Son of a Bear Ciders to build a tasting room at Bees & Trees in the Spring of 2025.

Son of a Bear Ciders is owned and operated by Cary and Rick McMahon owners of Teaghlaigh Vineyard in Rapidan, VA.   McMahon” means “son of a bear” in Irish Gaelic and “Teaghlaigh,” pronounced “tay-la,” means “family” in Gaelic.  They have truly infused their  Irish heritage and their love of family into every drop of every variety they make.

"We are thrilled to have this wonderful company join us here at the farm," said owner, Jeff Gregson.  "Theirs is a small,  family-owned and operated company--like ours--and they are all about customer service.  We can't imagine better people to work with or a company that's a better fit for our our farm."

The Gregsons own and operate The Farm Store at Bees & Trees and have been selling the Son of a Bear line of ciders and cysers for a number of years now.

"We always loved  doing tastings with SOAB's products," said Teresa Gregson.  "People who've never tasted their ciders or cysers are drawn to their flavors and smoothness after the very first sip". 

"We call it the perfect pairing," said Jeff, "and we look forward to welcoming them here permanently this Spring!"

Soon you will be able to identify which weekends they will be selling at Bees & Trees by checking their website at SonOfABearCiders.com or this website.
