Miedema Honey Farm

Miedema Honey Farm, a second-generation beekeeping operation, has cultivated a remarkable legacy over the past 30 years.

Through partnerships with local farmers, they've honed their craft to produce high-quality honey that graces tables worldwide. In 2021, Curtis and Melissa, joined by their three children, assumed full control of operations. Together with their dedicated team, they embarked on a journey to create a brand that connects directly with consumers, bringing the sweetness of Miedema Honey to your homes.
Our community's honey is truly exceptional, thanks to the abundant flowering fields, pristine water, and pure air that bless our region. These elements combine to create honey that's arguably among the world's finest.

Rochfort Bridge Colony

Rochfort Colony was established in 2010 and has been producing eggs since 2017. With a total of 20,000 chickens they are an important local source for this everyday staple.

Hens at Rochfort Bridge enjoy Enriched Colony Housing. That's not just because their home is Rochfort Bridge Colony, it's a special kind of hen housing. Enriched colony cages are much larger and feature: added privacy for laying; more room to grow, move, and spread their wings; scratch pads and perches to satisfy their natural behaviours; and more access to water.

Jems Jewellery

Michele has always had a passion for creating jewellery, starting to create her own more than 35 years ago! She prides herself on using high quality gemstone beads and natural materials for her products.

All jewellery on display has been cleansed and gemstones have energy charged. She likes curating her display to match the season or holidays, so keep checking for new designs! Her earrings are made of hypoallergenic metals, so they won't irritate sensitive skin! Most pieces include lava stone, which is porous enough to hold onto essential oils that have beautiful fragrances and airborne effects for the mind, body, and spirit.
