Viewcrest Farms

We are a family-owned farm located on the sunny hillside in beautiful Mission, British Columbia, focused on producing excellent quality honey and other farm products.

Ethical
Our honey is ethically-harvested, we take only the excess from what bees need for comfortable and worry-free life.
We never take honey out just to feed bees with sugar instead.
We believe in treating others well and with highest degree of respect.

Sustainable
We apply good management practices for best health and well-being of bees.
Our bees are located in a clean environment with multi-floral sources.
We use individualized approach for each honeybee colony, even if it means more work and time.
We continue to educate ourselves and stay up to date with regulations and best practices.
Our beehives and other products are built by Helmut from our own wood.

Natural
We don’t apply prophylactic antibiotic treatments as we are focused on preventing diseases and pests inside beehives in the first place. If necessary, we use certified organic treatments strictly following instructions and only during time when honey is not harvested.
Honey brought to you is raw, not filtered, not heated and not pasteurized.
Other beehive products are not contaminated with antibiotics or other harsh chemicals.
Garlic is grown from certified organic seeds, using natural practices only (we’ll spend the time weeding and will never spray!).

Environmentally Conscious
We went SOLAR!
We plant variety of forage that supports native bees as well as honey bees, and never use insecticides or pesticides.
We minimize the use of plastic in our beekeeping operation (no plastic frames or foundation which has to be replaced every few years).
In our daily lives, we grow a lot of our own food and we stick to shopping locally. We believe in supporting local neighboring businesses, which also minimizes our environmental impact as a result of transportation emissions.
