Lake of the Woods Day Draws Great Crowd

Held as an appreciation day for one of our largest customer bases, we offered the entire LOW community a free wine tasting of six locally grown and produced wines, followed up by hourly free drawings, pulled pork platters and sandwiches (cooked right here by Chef Jeff at the farm) and we followed it up with a 10% off all purchases in The Farm Store that day!

The weather held--barely--and the crowd finished off two huge pork butts without hesitation!  We thank all those who joined in on the fun and look forward to repeating this event next year!

Below are pictures of our drawing winners who received all sorts of goodies from The Farm Store.  Congratulations to all!

Chuck Roast = Pot Roast
(Have we got a recipe for you!)

Our sale on chuck roasts has grown even BIGGER!  A full 20% off while supplies last!

This wonderfully flavorful piece of meat is best cooked low and slow which makes it perfect for the crock pot and creates a mouth-watering pot roast that even freezes well! 

Wanna try a new recipe?  We'll give you a copy of our Mom's favorite (and easy) pot roast recipe so you can try it out on your family.  The gravy is so good in this recipe you'll want to drink it with a straw!


The Garden View Suite Earns
Airbnb Superhost Status Again!

Bees & Trees is pleased to announce that, for the second time in a row, their Airbnb property--The Garden View Suite--has earned the coveted Superhost status from Airbnb!

This status comes directly from guests' ranking on value, cleanliness and communication with the property's host.  In addition, a minimum number of 12 guest stays must have occurred at the property during the four-month period being reviewed with little to no cancellations and the host must have secured an overall rating of 4.8 or higher out of 5.0 from their guests.

The Garden View Suite maintains an overall ranking of 4.92 and has had no cancellations!

"We are so grateful to our guests for this distinction," said Teresa Gregson who with her husband, Jeff, manages the property.  "We have enjoyed getting to know our guests and are honored by their ranking of our accommodations."

Raising Better Beef

 Jeff Gregson, co-owner of Bees & Trees Farm has learned there are steer and then there are steer. 

Having raised and commercially sold black Angus steer to the public for nearly seven years, Gregson has learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn't when it comes to selling a healthy and tasty beef product. 

It might surprise you to learn, there's more to it then just raising a herd of cows on a grassy field!  Turns out it's also very much about genetics!

Where that steer comes from--the quality of the stock from which it was bred--is as important to overall quality and taste as how it was raised! 

"We know there's a difference--we've tasted the difference--and we want to give our customers the very best black Angus quality we can by only purchasing calves that have very strong genetics--that is
certified black Angus," said Gregson.

The black Angus breed has long been recognized for its high genetic quality.  And it is that high quality which has made Angus beef a top seller on the beef shelf in stores everywhere. 

Good genetics coupled with being raised in a careful and responsible manner--on grass and finished with grain--will deliver a high quality beef cut with the proper fat content and good marbling.

"Those qualities give our beef the flavor and tenderness our customers have come to expect," said Gregson.
  "It's hard to find that kind of balance in other breeds."

Bees & Trees Farm now procures their certified black Angus cattle from Audley Farms in Clarke County, VA. 

Audley Farms takes pride in raising black Angus cattle of the highest standards and genetics.  Their beef follows a "slow food” production model.  Similar to Bees & Trees, their cattle roam freely  on acres of open pasture, and are never given steroids, growth hormones, antibiotics, or grain from unnatural feed sources.


The black angus breed has long been recognized for its high genetic quality.  And it is that high quality which has made Angus beef a top seller on the beef shelf in stores everywhere.
