Papa Joe's Local Honey: The Real Deal
Hello, my name is Papa Joe, and I am the owner of Papa Joe's Local Honey, a small family beekeeping operation based in Loveland, Colorado.
A Lifelong Passion for Beekeeping
50+ Years of Experience: I have been interested in beekeeping for over 50 years.
The Early Days (Loveland): I started keeping hives on 7th Street in Loveland but had to cease operations due to neighbor complaints and a negative response from the city council.
Advocacy & Change: Following that experience, local beekeepers successfully banded together to:
Get laws enacted to allow beekeeping statewide.
Pass "cottage industry" laws that permit small producers to sell their homegrown products at local farmers' markets without restrictive regulation.
Current Locations: We have since moved our bees to safe foothills locations and friends' acreages west of town, near the Thompson River.
The Benefits of Real Local Honey
What started as keeping enough honey for myself and my family has grown into sharing this amazing food with expanding neighbors and new friends.
A Unique Superfood: Honey is the only food that naturally lasts for hundreds of years.
Health Properties: Our local, fresh varieties offer many benefits, including:
Antioxidant properties.
Antibacterial properties.
Potential help with local allergies.
Taste the difference: Come and taste what honey is supposed to taste like and reap the benefits of locally sourced honey.
Our 24/7 Honor System Farm Stand
We make it easy for you to get the highest quality honey with our unique setup:
Operation: Our farm stand runs 24/7 on the honor system.

Why Choose Papa Joe's?
