- Visit our Honey Farm & Meadery -

Afon Mêl Honey Farm & Meadery launched over twenty years ago – inspired by a family’s love and passion for beekeeping. Our on-going devotion to bees & honey is the driving force behind our mission to produce top quality artisan products driven by taste and made by nature.

'We believe we can create healthier food for healthier people, and ultimately a healthier planet. For those who would like a closer relationship with nature, our bee farm strives to provide the highest quality raw honey and mead products to customers world-wide.'

Sam Cooper

Hidden on the rural outskirts of New Quay, this picturesque farm, set in an old chapel is steeped in history – making it a truly magnificent location for any nature lover. Established in 1995, our farm is a traditional family-run honey farm based in Ceredigion - Mid Wales.

Bee Exhibition

The exhibition gives a rare opportunity to get close up with live honeybee colonies enabling you to see safely from behind glass just how they develop their free form structures in the wild. There are films and information boards throughout, highlighting just how important our pollinators are. There is also a tropical ant colony in the exhibition showing another fascinating social insect at work.

Meadery

We have our very own Meadery here at the Honey Farm where we produce one of the largest collections of real mead in the UK. Although our main working meadery is not open to the general public we do have an exhibition meadery that is free to visit. Our information boards give you an insight into the history of mead making and at various times throughout the year we do have some small batch meads fermenting in the tanks and barrels.

Shop

As well as our award-winning meads our shop offers a large selection of our honey and honey-based products.

Woodland Walks

There are many public footpaths close to the honey farm but one of the favourites has to be the woodland walk that winds all the way down to New Quay. Access is just 200m from the Honey Farm entrance. The spring display of bluebells is breathtaking!
