Our Commitments

What we believe. What we stand for. What we live by.

We Commit to the Pollinators

This land is their sanctuary.

From wildflower fields to chemical-free growing, everything we do starts with one question: “Will this help the bees?”

We protect more than just honey bees. Native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and even moths and other beneficial insects all have a place here. As pollinator populations decline across the globe, we’re building a farm where they can thrive.

We proudly registered as:

  • Certified Monarch Waystation

  • Certified Wildlife Habitat

  • Xerces Society Pollinator Protection Pledge

We Commit to the Land

Natural. Local. Regenerative

No pesticides. No synthetic fertilizers. No exceptions.

We keep it wild where it matters and cultivate carefully where it counts. Whether we’re planting trees or building soil, the goal is the same: long-term health for the land and everything that depends on it.

We don’t tame the wild. We work with it.

We Commit to the Craft

Thoughtfully made. Never mass-produced.

Every wood product from Bear Ash Farm — hive boxes, signs, planters, boards — is designed and made right here on the farm. We prototype slowly, build carefully, and use salvaged wood when we can. Our goal isn’t to crank out quantity. It’s to create pieces with purpose.

We Commit to the Transparency

No greenwashing. No fluff. Just facts.

We say what we mean and show our work — whether it’s the ingredients in our honey, the story behind our designs, or how we manage our land. We’re not perfect, but we’re honest.

We Commit to the Education & Access

We’re not gatekeeping the good stuff.

Pollinator support isn’t just for farms. Whether you have a backyard, a balcony, or a windowsill, you can make a difference.

That’s why we offer free planting guides, publish tips through our blog, and plan to open up our land for learning in the seasons ahead.

The Bare Essentials

At Bear Ash Farm, everything we do comes back to one simple idea: Nature takes care of us, if we take care of it.
