Olmstead Honey

Olmstead Honey, a family-run beekeeping business, is nestled in the heart of Castle Camps. Started in 2012 as a hobby by Corinne Kiddy and her beekeeping husband Brian, it has flourished into a thriving venture with over 40 hives. Their dedication to beekeeping and the increasing demand for their honey have been the driving forces behind this growth.

Embracing Countryside Stewardship

Olmstead Honey is deeply committed to environmental stewardship. The farm participates in a countryside stewardship scheme, sowing wild and nectar-rich flowers in field corners and under hedges. This initiative benefits their bees and supports local butterflies and other insects, contributing to the area’s biodiversity.
