Welcome to Bees N Blooms and the “Lavender Labyrinth and Flower Gardens! Our beautiful farm is located at the foot of Taylor Mountain on the Santa Rosa Plain. The CCOF-Certified Organic acreage provides a home for thousands of honeybees and native bees, cut flowers of many varieties, a lavender labyrinth, an acre of lavender for oil production, and a tree nursery with pollinator-friendly trees.  Learn more about visiting Bees N Blooms, and don’t forget to check out our Lavender Bloom Status page to see how the lavender bloom progresses from spring through summer!

Bees N Blooms has between five and ten colonies of bees working to pollinate the flowers on the farm and produce honey. Our organic farm and the local environment  provides safe foraging for the honey bees, native bees, monarch butterflies, and other pollinators—free of pesticides and with plenty of food most of the year.

If you are interested in purchasing honey from Bees N Blooms, stop by the farm stand.”

Copeland’s Cherry Ranch - We usually open when the cherries are ripe in June.  Please check back at the end of May for further updates.  For now we are weeding, watering and doing our best to keep the squirrels, gophers and birds from this years’ crop! 

A Family Affair
We are a family of five with lots of help and support from aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors! 

U-pick and Pre-picked
When we are open, you have the choice of picking yourself, or if you are short on time, purchasing some pre-picked cherries.  Although, it doesn’t take long to enjoy the moment and fill a bucket.

Best Tasting Wildflower Honey
Our honey is made by our beautiful worker bees.  These girls live on site and collect nectar from the cherry blossoms and wildflowers throughout Leona Valley.  

The honey is raw and delicious.  Due to the large flight radius of our bees, we cannot certify it as organic.”

At Lavender Bee Farm, “Both JoAnn and I are Petaluma locals, We have had interests in gardening projects for many years. We decided to grow lavender as a hobby and now there is so much interest from local people and businesses that the lavender farm has grown to over five thousand plants, with plans for more! The Lavender Bee Farm was established in 2001 on our family farm just on the outskirts of Petaluma (located in the beautiful Sonoma County).

Our growing method is all natural, no pesticides or fertilizers. The cutting and pruning are performed with hand tools. The soil is sandy loam, the plants have good drainage, watering is a drip system. We have many bee hives here at the farm that collects the sweet lavender nectar. Lavender honey is prized for its color and taste. The honey sells out quickly!”

When you buy a bottle of Mikolich Family Honey, “we are confident that you will recognize the difference in the quality and flavor! Unlike commercially packaged honey, our seasonal varietals are produced right here in Southern California, USA! Our honey is not blended, flash heated, pasteurized, or fine filtered. We extract and bottle our honey in house each summer. 

The honey is gently strained through a cheese cloth for harmful pieces like bee particles or stingers to prevent you from ingesting anything dangerous.”
