Preserve. Protect. Produce.

Hello! We’re Cottage Orchard — a small family-run orchard and apiary rooted in the hills of North Wales.

It all started in 2023 with our first hives in Pentrefoelas (LL24). Since then, we’ve expanded carefully and thoughtfully. We’ve added a second apiary in Rhydymwyn (CH7), and we’re currently setting up a third site in Prion (LL16). Each location is chosen for its peace, forage, and suitability for happy, thriving bees.

Alongside our beekeeping, we’re planting out an orchard of Welsh heritage fruit trees — keeping things small, seasonal, and sustainable.

Our honey is made right here — straight from the hive, never overheated or over-filtered. We strain it gently and jar it by hand, so what you get is packed with local flavour, pollen, and all the natural goodness intended.

While we’re proud of our honey, our main focus is always the bees. We take care in every season — checking colonies, supporting them through winter, planting forage, and giving them what they need to stay strong and productive.

Everything we do follows the natural cycles of the bees and the seasons. It’s about honest, local food and working in harmony with nature — while preserving traditional fruit varieties and protecting pollinators for the future.

Thanks for following along — and for supporting a small business with a big purpose.

We’re here to Preserve. Protect. Produce.
