It’s honey harvest time!

Your Castro Valley bees have been hard at work, and have produced an exceptional amount of honey that’s ready to be shared with you.

In case you didn’t know, our hyper-local honey is made in four rooftop hives Castro Valley Natural Grocery keeps atop the Marketplace, and several other hives they sponsor in the nearby community.

If you live within a few miles of the Marketplace maybe you’ve even seen their bees at work.
