Quince Honey Farm


Collected by the bees from the tiny purple heather flowers on the rolling hills of Exmoor our Heather Honey has a distinct and much sought after flavour.
Founded by George Wallace in 1949 this family run farm operates 1500 hives over an area of some 2500 square miles of rolling Devonshire hills and moors. Due to the type of agriculture in this unspoiled part of Britain we still produce a wonderful flavoured honey often described by our customers as "Honey like Granddad used to get".
Collected by the bees from the tiny purple heather flowers on the rolling hills of Exmoor our Heather Honey has a distinct and much sought after flavour, which was awarded the top marks in a honey tasting by the W.I.
Honey is our major product but over the years we have diversified into other quality honey-based products from honey marmalade to skin care preparations. Not only are these items sold nationally by some of the biggest stores in the country but exported all over the world.
Here at the heart of the operation you can closely observe the honeybee colonies, which have taken over a modern chimney, a postbox, roof cavities, straw skeps as well as their ancient homes - hollow trees and bushes. Other hives within the Exhibition are designed to open at the press of a button. These innovative designs are acknowledged by experts to lead the world in easy viewing of the most interesting and productive insect the world has got to offer. You can view the complete story of honey production and beeswax from the hive to the finished product.
