| Hello. We're Ed & Mary Kosenski.
Our joint beekeeping experience began in 1997. We had seen the
Peter Fonda movie, Ulee's Gold, shortly after our move to Tinton
Falls - it is about a beekeeper in Florida who pulls his
troubled family back together while in the middle of collecting
tupelo honey from his bee hives. The day after viewing the movie
Ed called me to say we would be picking up our first beehive
from a beekeeper in Vineland, NJ. |
| Since that first hive we have
grown to 120 hives. For the past nine years we have been working
towards developing a stronger honeybee using natural methods and
by breeding Russian and Carniolan honeybee queens! |
| We offer a Jersey Fresh Spring
Wildflower Honey, a Jersey Fresh Summer Wildflower Honey and a
Jersey Fresh Fall Wildflower Honey called Red Bank Raw. We also
offer Cranberry, Blueberry and Dutch Clover Jersey Fresh
varietal Honeys. And since we are always listening to our
customers we now carry Buckwheat, Tupelo, Orange Blossom Honeys
and Creamed Honey spreads. |
| In addition we now offer Honey
Hex Jars which are perfect for DIY Wedding Favors. As an option,
we can create unique and personalized labels for that "special
day". We are licensed from the New Jersey Department of
Agriculture to use the Jersey Fresh logo on our New Jersey
products. |
| Mary comes from an agricultural
family; her father was a sideline beekeeper in Maryland and
Georgia. Early in her career, while working at the Beltsville
Agriculture Research Center in Maryland, Mary kept and worked
with bees. Mary also runs the beeswax side of our business -
creating beeswax wedding favors, formal beeswax candles, beeswax
figurine candles, beeswax plaques, beeswax hand creams and
beeswax lip balms. |
| We are active members of the New
Jersey Beekeepers Association (NJBA), the Central Jersey
Beekeepers Association (CJBA), the American Honey Producers
Association (AHPA), and the National Honey Board (NHB). In
addition we give educational talks and presentations at schools,
associations and county fairs. |
