Bees & Trees will host their 5th Annual Hop Fest Saturday, March 28th from 11-4 PM. Tickets are available by clicking HERE.
As always, we will offer three different Easter egg hunts for all the little ones and they will run consecutively on the half hour beginning at 11:30 AM for the under 5 age group, Noon for the 6-8 age group and 12:30 PM for children 9-12. The difficulty of each hunt is age adjusted to make it special for the children.
Make an afternoon of it and enjoy lunch from of our favorite hot dog vendor--LawDawgs! You won't find a better tasting hot dog in the area and Rhonda's funnel fries are TO DIE FOR!
The Easter Bunny will be seated and available for Easter photos from 10:30-11:15 in the Gazebo. After 11:15, he will be wondering the farm available for more candid shots.
Be sure and grab a hay ride--free for the whole family--or let the kids have a fun barrel train ride while you shop the Farm Store (barrel train tickets are $3 each or two for $5).
NOTE: Children are asked to bring their own Easter egg basket AND be sure they open EVERY candy-filled egg before leaving because there are TWO special eggs in EACH AGE GROUP that offer a little something for parents—a 10% off coupon for use inside The Farm Store, valid that day only.
ALSO: If you're NOT interested in keeping your child's plastic eggs, please help us keep them out of the landfills by dropping them in our convenient recycle bins located just outside the Farm Store.
We hope to see you on the 28th!
We've Got The Beef!
Congratulations to all those who participated in our Big Daddy Beef Sale and were able to purchase unlimited quantities of our 85-15 black Angus, grass fed, grain finished ground beef for $7/lb! That was quite a deal and, sadly, the last one we'll have at that price.
All Big Daddy Beef purchases will be available for pick up this Saturday, February 28th at 10 AM.
Many of the orders we received were far too large to fit in our store freezer so we will have them in our auxiliary freezers. If you haven't already, please let us know what day/time you will be arriving to pick up your order so that we may have your purchase ready.
You do NOT have to pick up your meat this weekend, it's just helpful for us to know when we need to have your order prepared.
Thanks for participating in our sale and we look forward to seeing you soon!

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.
"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--their weddings are limited to fifty guests.
There are plenty of places where brides can have large weddings--we offer a location that is both intimate and memorable.
Tasting Room Coming Spring of 2026 to Bees & Trees Farm
Bees & Trees owners, Teresa & Jeff Gregson have announced their collaboration with Son of a Bear Ciders to build a tasting room at Bees & Trees in the Spring of 2026.
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 here next year!"
