Hello! Thank you for visiting our site.
Our names are Jane Biggs and Mike Rehder and we are small scale local beekeepers in Northumberland County.
We are located on 60-acres with a 1870’s farmhouse between Colborne (Big Apple) and Brighton. With the native and diverse environment, our honeybees produce a beautifully complex wildflower honey from the fields and forests around us.
We sell our honey at our front door as well as at several retail locations and often at local events and fairs.
Our local bee club is the Quinte Beekeepers Association. Please visit our site to learn more about the services and resources available through the QBA.
The Ontario Beekeepers’ Association (OBA) has been supporting beekeepers across the province since 1881. Dedicated to sustainable beekeeping, research, and education, the OBA advocates for the health of honeybees and the success of Ontario’s beekeeping industry. Through training, resources, and industry collaboration, the association plays a vital role in protecting pollinators and promoting high-quality honey production.
Jane and Mike are the dedicated beekeepers behind Ventress Vale Farm, producing high-quality wildflower honey and beeswax products in rural Ontario. With a passion for sustainable beekeeping and a deep respect for nature, they care for their bees to ensure each jar of honey is pure, raw, and naturally delicious.
