        So be sure to swing by and taste some of that Sweet American Honey made right here by local honey bees with the support of their keepers.

        Better yet- buzz on by and volunteer with TVBA and help us bring beekeeping into more backyards- the chickens will thank you!

        We are looking for volunteers to participate in the following:

        1. Please Donate honey! We will bottle and label various beekeepers' honey into "Honey Bee Flights" that tour attendees can purchase to support TVBA and to take home a taste of local sweetness.  Even if you cannot make the event, when need your liquid lovliness!  Not only does this help TVBA educate  the public, it gets  your name and brand in front of honey-lovers.
        2. We also need honey-helpers to facilitate the Honey Tasting Activity, set-up and clean-up.
        3. Just wanna talk bees?  GREAT!  Help us educate the public about honey bees and beekeeping.

        (free entry to the event for a limited number TVBA-registered helpers). 
        RSVP below.

         

        A Peep at the Coops occurs every year at Moss Haven Farm located at Moss Haven Elementary School.  Started as a simple grassy patch in March 2012, the farm has grown into 23 raised beds, a farm field and chicken coop. 

        The hard work of students and volunteers has garnered the farm recognition as an American Heart Association Teaching Gardenand a United Way’s Healthy Zone School.

        "Moss Haven Farm exists to cultivate a respect for the earth and food-growth process in our students. Our vision is that they will develop a lifelong interest in responsible environmental practices, seek to live a healthy lifestyle, and cultivate a passion for giving back to the community. In addition to enriching academics, our program seeks to spark positive growth in our students’ families and our community."
