Kypseli Family Honey LLC is family-owned apiary and small-batch, artisanal honey farm in Greenville, Delaware -- the heart of Delaware's chateau country in the Brandywine Valley. Our honeybees, which can forage a few miles from their hives, have unique access to some of the most renowned gardens in the world. Our farm is across the street from Winterthur Museum and its 60-acre garden, a stone's throw from the Delaware Museum of Natural History, and within minutes of Hagley Museum. Our more adventurous honeybees might even make their way to the nearby 200-acre Nemours Estate, which features the largest formal French gardens in North America, and Longwood Gardens' 1,077 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows. As a result of the nectar and pollen within the honeybees' reach, our honey takes on the richness of seasonal blooms. The honeybees produce a uniquely sweet and smooth wildflower honey that we harvest in small batches three times per year, creating spring, summer and fall varietals. Each harvest is carefully timed to maximize the flavor profiles of each variety. (ADDED: April 10, 2022)
