Spring Valley Honey
Farms is a family business, owned and operated by Curt and Connie
Bronnenberg in Perry, Iowa. Curt is a second generation beekeeper and has been involved in beekeeping his entire life.
Spring Valley Honey
Farms has been managing honey bees for 27 years. We currently manage 2800 honey bee colonies. We produce and market over 140,000 pounds of honey
annually. Most of our honey is sold in 55 gallon drums.
During the summer, we
provide pollination services to Iowa orchards. During the cold Iowa winters,
we provide pollination services to almond orchards in California.
Our daughters, Christa,
Chelsa, Cara, and Ciera help with bottling the honey and making hand-made
bath and beauty products from honey and beeswax.
We
have expanded our product line to include candles, pure and flavored creamed
honeys. Pat Ennis works with us at Spring Valley Honey Farms full time. Pat
and Peggy Ennis do most of the pure bees wax candles and creamed honey.
We are in the
process of completing our new showroom. We should have a full line of bee
keeping equipment for sale by mid-April. |
