Bennett's Honey Farm

What Bennett's Honey Farm does

Bennett's Honey Farm is a producer and direct-to-consumer seller of raw, unfiltered honey and related bee products, founded in 1978 and headquartered at 3176 Honey Lane in Fillmore, California. The company's core production is built around gravity-strained rather than filtered honey, a deliberate processing choice intended to preserve natural enzymes and vitamins; production draws on Ventura County's sage and wildflower fields. Beyond raw honey in multiple floral varieties (Avocado, Blackberry, Blueberry, Buckwheat, Cactus, Clover, Eucalyptus, Orange, Pomegranate, Sage, Wildflower) and packaging formats (jars, bears, pails), the portfolio extends into raw honeycomb, creamed honey, bee supplements (royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis capsules), pure beeswax candles in novelty shapes, honey BBQ sauce, and a skincare sub-brand called The Naked Bee (lotions and lip balms). Products carry 100% Kosher certification.

Distribution operates through three channels: a Shopify e-commerce storefront supporting both individual and case-quantity orders, a physical tasting room in Fillmore open seven days a week, and traditional phone/fax/email order lines for enterprise and bulk buyers. The company also benefits from a long-running tourism partnership with the Fillmore & Western Railway, which brings train passengers directly to the farm. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales with case-level bulk discounts, and the customer base is fragmented across retail consumers, restaurants, bakeries, and specialty food retailers with no disclosed enterprise anchors.

From a corporate structure standpoint, Bennett's Honey Farm is a privately held, family-scale operator with 11-50 employees, no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no public ticker. There is no parent company and no subsidiary structure beyond the sub-brand The Naked Bee. Geographic operations are concentrated in California, and management team information is not publicly disclosed in the available data.
