Summer Smiles Honey Farm

Led by Darci Sanner, a small-batch, therapeutic beekeeper with over 23 years of apiary experience, Summer Smiles Honey Farm specializes in reconnecting people with raw hive luxury and traditional homesteading crafts. After recently relocating from Pennsylvania to Richmond, Virginia, Darci manages chemical-free hives right down the road at Celeste Farms. Summer Smiles offers a premium, rotating lineup of immersive, educational workshops—spanning from honey tastings and introductory apitherapy to wild-ferment mead making, sourdough baking, and seasonal foraging. Every single experience is carefully crafted to be high-utility, community-centered, and deeply relaxing. Whether you are looking to start your very first beehive or master a traditional craft, our intimate workshops provide the premium materials, expert guidance, and sweet hive magic needed to inspire your journey.
